This disaster...
...became this setup.
I worked with GIK Acoustic on the bass traps and acoustic panels.
AD/DA is handled by a Lynx Aurora 16 into a PC Audio Labs rackmount PC via RME HDSPe MADI. Main monitoring is handled by Focal Solo6Be, headphone distribution through a Rane MH-4; and I have the EV PA speakers fed via a QSC PLX-1602 amplifier. The QSC HPR 122i are also available.
Signal Chains:
- Microphones: 8 channels of Grace Designs M801 through Mogami W2534 (which is on the FedEx truck and should be here today) that will primarily be used for drums, piano and acoustic guitar. 4 channels of M-Audio Audio Buddy.
- Guitar: Axe-FX Ultra
- Bass: Avalon U5 via Zaolla Silver Line cables; SansAmp PSA-1; Axe-FX Ultra
I have a pair of Latch Lake micKing 2200 stands. They are great. I can put them out of the way and get my overheads right where I want them and they don't ever droop.
I got the idea for the wire shelving to hold the guitar cases from a post I saw on The Gear Page.
I love this space. The kids practice in the room and I have a place to work on my projects. The room sounds much better with the GIK panels. It would have been nice to sound proof it but it was cost prohibitive and would have changed the room to the point where my wife would have been uncomfortable with the changes.
