Hmmmm

[James R. Coplin]

I agree with the high shelf suggestion.  A shelf over the monitors won't
help with desktop type stuff but you can put rack gear up there.  My
previous setup had a high shelf but my current one doesn't and I am amazed
at how much stuff I had on it that now doesn't have a home.  I'm definitely
putting one in when I redo my studio hopefully this year.  Also, a rolling
cart with a table top would at least give you extra deskspace that you could
put out of the way when you weren't using it.  Handy things.

I managed to take some photos with my phone which explains the grainy images
but you will see what I mean about the lack of space.

Hey Chris,

  I will take some pictures this evening.  The space is not good for adding
anything new but for my current setup it is neat and works very well.

 

Regards,

 

Declan.

Declan,

 

Do you have a picture of your studio so we can see the space issues?

 

A high shelf perhaps?

 

Cheers

 

Chris

I'm just thinking out loud at this stage but here is what I have in mind..

 

I have a Yamaha W5 synthesizer in storage at home and I can't help feel it
is being wasted.  I will probably never sell it because there is some
sentimental value attached to it, it belonged to an old friend that
committed suicide a number of years ago.  Anyway, it is way too big to fit
in with my current setup and I even considered doing some DIY on it to make
it smaller but my DIY skills let me down on that before I even started and
even then there is no room for it.  So, what I might do in order to
re-introduce it back into my setup is to neatly punch a hole in the wall
next to my desk, on the other side is a built in wardrobe, and place the W5
in an upright position against the wall.  The power,  audio and midi cables
can be passed through the hole and I can create a controller interface for
it using SynthEdit or something similar.

 

In theory this sounds like a simple task.  I don't imagine it will generate
a lot of heat and it will never be powered on when I am not there but I will
have to test that out.  The other obstacle of sorts is the controller
interface and how much control do I want and what are the limitations of the
SynthEdit software.  And of course I will not be punching any holes in the
wall until I get the interface working as expected.  Is there anything else
I should consider?

 

Regards,

Declan.
