VIDEO DESCRIPTION
After a water leak in my apartment (which I talk about in my episode 1 of this series), I have been in the process of rebuilding my home studio setup. In this video, I am going through the process of reorganising my space to make everything fit and work together, i'm measuring and finetuning the acoustics and also fitting AN SSL CONSOLE?!.
I'm not done with this room yet, so let me know in the comments what i should get for this room in terms of:
- Hardware gear
- working desk
- Acoustic treatment
- interior design pieces
- furniture
- you name it!

"I'm an audio engineer - I don't know how to make friends". Haha. Same here. Who needs a living room when you can have a studio? And regarding the room: I'd get a Trinnov. This makes all the difference, even in small not-so-well treated rooms.

@thomasvopstal 6 месяцев назад

😂😂 i was being a little too honest maybe haha. Yeah trinnov can be cool, but i’m not a fan of letting something digitally figure it out instead of using acoustic treatment to really fix the problems. So first im making a plan for the acoustics and then we’ll see if trinnov is needed

@rafaelvillafane669 5 месяцев назад

@@thomasvopstal FWIW i my room was professionally set up with acoustic treatment, and the Trinnov elevated it appreciably. Famous mastering engineer Brian Lucey turned me on to Trinnov. I highly recommend it bro.

Hey Thomas, great channel, full of knowledge bombs - thanks for that! Q: I also wanna/haveto set up against the long wall 530x370. Gearslutz say no, never : ) Are you still happy with your layout? Any obvious downsides? Thanks & greets from Berlin, Sebastian

@santibanks 6 месяцев назад

I feel your pain with dimensions and living room setups. I'm in Rotterdam and very fortunate that my living room is pretty large (670x514) with only neighbours above me, nobody below me, and isolated from the neighbours. I have a C24 in my living room but could upgrade to a larger desk if I wanted to (the real modular stuff like the SSL/Neve/etc) from the perspective of space and acoustics. But the cost of power and of course needing a machine room for the power supplies for major consoles, along with the maintenance and operating costs would make it a dumb decision and even the newer desks like the Sony Oxford, Euphonix System 5, Neve Genesys, or SSL AWS would not really get me to recoup any of the costs. Still, why the decision for a bucket of SSL4000 and not one of the more "modern" ones like AWS or a Neve Genesys? And I'm sure you are aware of that Spanish kid literally having one of the few Focusrite consoles in existence, upstairs in his parent's house in basically a bedroom? It was featured in a documentary on the Focusrite Forte consoles.

@thomasvopstal 6 месяцев назад

Oh really? Didnt know about the focusrite console, thats crazy! Anyway, the aws is nothing like an ssl 4000. Also i don’t want a big console for my mixingsetup, theyre the biggest workflow killer for my setup. I like having the ssl4000 sound and being able to sum and drive the line gains, compress and eq on the board, but i dont want it right in front of me

@migueldiazdrums 6 месяцев назад

@Lychegsye-nc6td 6 месяцев назад

man i have the same Landyacthz dingy Skeleton skateboard ! good taste. for gear recommendation how abt - iso acoustics to put below ATC? - another stand to put the Hedds vertically? - mayb rme adi converter to go in out of analog gears? (since new audio interface from UAD is coming) - i heard u said vocal booth so mayb sth like Audient nero (for monitor controlling and talkback with artists on headphones?) obv. heritage ram has to go for this. - mayb try Sonarworks too to see the measurement of the room. REW is kool too but more data will give u more insights of ur new setup.

@thomasvopstal 6 месяцев назад

Yeah the landyachtz dingy is cool! I never ride anymore tho. My balance isnt that great i noticed😅 i’m definitely adding more converters, but like the apollo ecosystem, so will probably stay with that as the interface.

I have an SSL Origin but had i known about this, i would have probably gone this route! Serious congrats bro! One question, does the mini SSL have two bus stereo outs, or how does it sum? Also, are the buses operational at all? Thank you for your time sir!
