The Layout

I have scaled down the equipment in the studio.  I am not just using the room as a recording / practice space, but I have been working from home so I do most of my web development work here as well.

My new Office needs more desk space and less drum sets and mic stands to trip over.

I  took this opportunity to rewire and stream line my Protools rig.

My objective is:

1. Everything works.  Nothing rigged, duct tapped, Pc cases open, noisy cables,  precariously balanced or stack on phone books. If I don’t use it it’s gone.
2. Improve friendly.  turnkey.. record in the mood without big setup issues.
3. Flexible.  Record, Live performance, Party time.
4. Clean everything in its place and a place for everything.
5. More desk space for work.
6. All media should be available to play in the house via PS3 Media Server.

This is complicated so I thought I would go in stages and from Output to input.

First Speakers.  I have Near field Monitors, Large Format monitors, Portable monitors, outside stereo speakers, and Headphones.

Like I said in 1 & 3 these have to work for all situations.
