Hey everyone!

I see a special thread/sub-forum for the photographers, but nothing here for musicians/gear nuts. As such, I figured I'd start a thread where all the musically inclined RIU folks can post and share pics of their home recording studios and gear, as well as to post Audio/Video/Soundcloud, etc. of your recordings. If it is related to home-recording, post away! :)I love seeing what people are working with and how they put it to use making music, so I really hope this thread gets off the ground and people participate.

I'll kick things off with a little photo-tour of my humble basement recording studio which I very recently completed after years of saving/acquiring/building, etc. It sits in a 17' x 20 room in the basement of my house, and I've tried to make the best use of the limited space that I have for performance/jamming, recording, and mixing/mastering. The entire room is acoustically treated with home-made absorption panels and bass traps, as well as a little bit of studio foam.

I like it.
I have an am del fat strat and an old jackson.
small fender practice amp.
Small portable recorder.
My pod2.0 and floor pedal should arrive any day.

I love to create but never took the time to really polish anything as far as recording goes. Im not real techy but the recording gear is getting fairly simple so you never know.

Ill post pics once the pod arrives.

Nice setups by the way. Cant wait to hear some of your recordings.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! Can't wait to see some pics :) I'm with you on the creating vs polishing front.....I get bored easily and prefer to keep jamming on new stuff rather than mixing and mastering what I've done for hours and hours. One of my heroes is Neil Young, and he is famous for doing things in one or two takes with very minimal mixing and mastering after the fact......I really like that raw approach. :)

Thanks again for posting!

In the spirit of this thread, here's a little live jam I recorded yesterday. I caught the bug for little analog synths, and have been screwing around with recording video of some short little jams........no mixing or plug-ins, just pure analog goodness from what you see:

Haha, yeah it's pretty trippy down here.....just how I like it :) Need some speakers to really appreciate that fat, juicy analog sound....these little Korg Volca synthesizers/sequencers are totally badass, I love them.
 
I think your studio MIGHT put my bedroom / amazing recording studio to shame haha, stuck in a small rental house till my father and I gather the funds to build one, then i'll be able to go crazy and buy all the gear I want. At the moment I make do with scattering random items all over my house and cram what I can into my room

The thread lives! I was beginning to think that everyone in RIU was tone-deaf and hated music :)

Thanks so much for sharing, I was really hoping to get a lot more participation in here in hopes that it could be a hub for RIU members to share everything related to home recording. Spread the good word!

Love your little set-up, thanks for sharing! It's not the size of the space, it's what you do with it :) Are you on Soundcloud? Feel free to post any recordings you've done, would love to hear em. :)
 
Speaking of posting recordings, here is a little live synthesizer jam that I recorded this weekend. Everything made with the Korg Volca analog synth family and a bunch of analog guitar pedals. No VST's, no mixing, just raw analog goodness:

 
That looks great. Good on you for treating your room. It boggles my mind that people, usually audiophools, will spend tens of thousands of gear and not a dime on the room. Or they'll just throw up a bunch of foam then can't understand why the bass cab shoved into the corner sounds boomy because they are ignorant.


Neil Young is a badass rocker worthy of respect but that doesn't mean he can't be deaf and dumb. Pono is so ridiculous on so many levels. I tried to start a thread about it in Sci/Tech but nobody bit...
 
Amazing!!!!! That space has character coming out the wazoo! A cottage/barn/rural home recording space is pretty much my ultimate dream, thanks for sharing! I love the window into the kitchen, your sound engineer can multitask and make some sandwiches.....I have to trudge up a flight of stairs like a chump every time I get the munchies ;)
