I got a loan of a pretty good quality digital camera (to take photos of trees, believe it or not ), so I said I'd take a pic of the studio aswell...



So, this is where I work, play games, and browse ukta of course


And yes, it's a mess ... but that's the way I like it




(Apologies if there's already a 'post a pic of your studio' thread, but I can't find one).

looks good


I don't have a digital camera, but there's also not much to see yet at my place

i see you have the Tannoy 6d monitors (or they the 8d) , i wanted to ask if your satisfied with theyr performance , cus i was planing to purchase a pair of tannoys p8d.
and your studio looks cool

Yup, they're 6Ds. I couldn't really justify the few hundred extra for the 8Ds for the small difference it makes to the 40 to 80Hz range.

And I think they're a stunning monitor btw, it's like I've been listening to music through a paper bag for all these years . But of course, now, anything I hear outside of ideal conditions sounds like rubbish.

You can tune them to the room (there's a row of dip switches on the back for the different freq bands). And the S/PDIF in/thru is very useful too (one of the main reasons I went for this monitor really): I run it (a single cable) into one, thru to another, and thru from that to a freq analysis you see on the right screen ... all with no signal loss or noise

I have just one gripe with them: I was led to believe that those 'tannoy' buttons on the front (just above the leds) were power switches ... but they're not, they're standby switches. And even in standby, the monitors still use alot of power (you can feel the heat at the back), so you have to reach in around the back to power them off (not an easy thing to do with my arrangement). But that's the only fault I have with them. Would highly recommend them otherwise.

My god what a nice looking setup!

I wish I´ll have one of those too if I start producing when I have more free time

i'll post some pics too when i expanded my stuff

yeah i heard that the spdif out is a very good thing on those monitors, and for the money cost , people say theyre outstanding.cool thanks for your reply Bricky.
Ps: and yes after hearing a good quality sound , then alot of other stuff are just Sheit

Ill post a pic in a day or two when I tidy the place It looks like someone launched a grenade into it atm

You should see the rest of the room man ... a grenade attack would be a general improvement

well gonna use my dad's camera for that.. maybe today.

ps: nice set-up Brisky!

Who's Brisky Peggy?

isn't brisky the guy from monster tunes ?

Damn!! My cover is blown

damn i made a mistake ok?

sorry Brickie.

Not a problem Pesagus

* Edit * - miss-read 'production studio' , unfortunatly i have nothing of the sort!

You should've left the pics up man ... dj/production studio .. whatever, it doesn't matter.




Excellent pics anyway. You have something taken from farther away which gives the big picture?

well.... my setup

f**k sake.... awsome!!!

bricky you alredy should be on Armin level with such studio!!! if i'd have something like this

At least I cleared away the beer and ashtrays before taking the pic


Seriously though: nice pic. Is there a monitor on the computer on the left?

and the wine



besides that no aqlcohol during producing

can anyone tell me the difference between a vinyl and promo?

Vinyl is a:



Promo can be Or Vinyl or CD,, it's for "promotion" towards the crowd.
So Dj can play them before the release date,

vynil - material from which is created vynil plate (almost plastic)

promo - unreleased music

leave him.. it's still a newbie

i use both PC's with the monitor (switch)

thanks PegaSus

I dont produce yet but here is my set up for djing:

virus polar?.....similar to the virus TI....cuz that thing sounds amazing

Grolsch Rocks




btw, aren't the screens a bit close to your face ?



I'm thinking to move my "studio" within a few months to my bedroom, because of the windows here (i wanna expand some things ) but i would like to know how that works on such a small table as i also have a very small one

How much space do you have approx Thijsje? I was looking at some production desks recently and with a bit of planning as regards the layout, you can get the whole setup into a suprisingly small space.


Gimme a min to find the desks i'm talking about ... back in a sec




Edit: It's a little bigger than I thought (1.8m wide), might still be a possibility though. See here

the space i have is arround 1.20 / 1.40 * 0.50 / 0.60


i might choose for it to do it, but i have to test some things if the atmosphere of my bedroom is the same as my studio right now. I have usual walls now i am downstairs..but if i move upstairs i have sloping walls (see spoiler for example) and it's almost only possible to send the sound to the sloping wall instead of away from it



I want to buy a new pair of speakers, want to buy cubase, a new soundcard and a Korg MS2000... which is not something i want to have in front of a window on the road side

But if i move my studio I also need to edit another computer as this one is not my very own... something that also would cost another bunch of euro's (need a new HDD, better memory chips and a new TFT screen if that's everything:thumbdown )


yeah, it's kinda complex

Sloping walls are generally a good thing in a studio i think. They pretty much eliminate standing waves and will reduce your costs for acoustic treatment. And don't worry about pointing the speakers towards the wall, it'll be reflected downwards, into the carpet (assuming the floor is carpeted), also a good thing.

what happens with it when i have my bed under the sloping wall ?



oh, i have carpet looking vinyl on the floor

Bed is even better

Soft surfaces (like carpets, curtains ... and of course beds ) absorb sound (which is essentially what you want to do here) and stop it bouncing around the room.




Maybe that's not so good then. But I guess you could get some small squares of carpet and put it on the vinyl in the more open spaces

man your investing a lot of money Thijsje
you must be rich

i work a lot.... (at a company that pays me nothing more than required )


but what about the distance between your nose and the TFT's ? aren't they iritating close ?

Wow, it looks very nice, i like the krks alot, theyr very good!

TFT's are way better then CRT's .. so you don't get f*cked up eye's after a while.

that's true... but that's one of the biggest problems right now as they are also very expensive


I hope i can get my plans come true soon

bought mine for 230 each..

have a good friend who purchases a lot of that stuff so he knows where to get the best for cheap

from the NS station?
