With all this band stuff going on lately, it occurred to me how much of an asset it would be for me to actually set up all the studio equipment I have so I could make some use of it all. So over the course of the past three days, I set about tweaking my desk space, cleaning up the clutter and setting up my old Event TR6 reference monitors and my mixing board so I could run all my synths and mics at the same time with some non-headphone amplification. This has become especially important due to the need to do some levels/EQ edits on our demos with Jeremy, allowing us both to sit here and listen to the mix to improve it.
In addition to all this, I took two music stands I used to use for my live DJing setup and have converted them into keyboard stands propped up behind my Roland XP-80 for my Alesis Micron and Behringer MIDI control surface, thereby allowing me instant access to all of my synths and the parameters controlling them. Finally, I've upgraded my mic setup recently, but I'll save this for another post soon.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this new arrangement and how much more efficient it will allow me to be. The only problem now is that I'll have to move out in 2.5 months, but whatever...
