Moving / Upgrade to The Lab

by Davin on Nov.08, 2009, under Music, Technology, Whatever

So, I’ve been rather absent of late. This is because as of November 29th, I’m moving in closer to the city! I’ll be shacking up with my girlfriend in a larger apartment so her and I can bank more money and have more resources to do more stuff. Like do a little upgrade to the ol’ home studio, in my case. I’ve got a pile of new gear in the shipping room at work that just came in, so once I’m moved in I’ll be rebuilding my workstation to incorporate this new stuff. My existing mic is getting replaced with a Nova that I’m going to mount in this shockmount and pop-filter, and it’s getting piped into a new FastTrack since I’m now only ever recording a single XLR or 1/4″ at a time nowadays.

My controller is still a Kontrol49, and I doubt that will change anytime soon. I’m still very, very, happy with that board and if it ever broke, I would simply buy another one just like it. But, I do intend on setting up a dual tier stand so I can have my MicroKorg back and more involved, as it’s kind of been gathering dust for the past few months.  Hell, I might even build a cool little rack to house my interface, outboard guitar effects board and an XLR & 1/4″ cable patch bay.

Or maybe even buy that damn bass guitar I keep telling myself I’m going to get so I don’t have to bug other musicians I know to borrow theirs. (The last band I was around enough to borrow one from, Fake Shark, I haven’t heard from in ages and are probably off doing who knows what and Oddchild are often far too busy to lend out gear. hrmphf.)

The software is still going to be the same since I’m sticking with the G5 tower for around another year or two and Logic Studio is still going to be the same. the plugins aren’t going to change either, so it’s basically a nice, new set up of recording hardware. This will help out a lot with some of the ideas I have for the next few months, regarding music.

Hopefully not too long after I move The Lab and rebuild my workstation, I can get back to work on a cool electronic idea I would like to have out by the end of the winter.
