I had a variant of this desk, and it was great. I started going back to the office more often, so I gave it to my wife. I made some mods in the bottom to add cable baskets, mounted my Mac mini in a sled on the bottom, and made a bracket to hold my laptop.
I would love a guitar collection update vid and even a “Here’s how I’m using this studio after a few months” video. I feel like of all the studio videos out there you’d have one of the more interesting ones. One part because of how thorough you are another because your use case is so varied.
The Guitar collection video will probably be “why I sold almost all my guitars.” And yes, I’ll do the second video for sure in early 2025. Thanks for the idea!
Dr. Fludd, This is great. So happy to see you working out a new system that will streamline your workflow and creation process. I am thinking of going a similar route with my workspace in the next year and was wondering if you can include a link to some of the gear you are using like the lights and desk mounts? Thanks!
Yes, check back to the video this weekend and it will all be updated. I just got so excited I wanted to post the video before making dinner and heading to bed
any noise complaints in the apartment yet? i was always afraid to use my monitors when i lived in an apartment. i just recently moved into a house and im able to comfortably crank it up now. congrats on the new studio!
I def don’t crank them because i also don’t want to bother anyone. But it’s just 2 other tenants. The person right below me travels a lot and is rarely home so I should be okay.
Similar setup here with the MacBook Pro nd monitor and axe fx. I have an fm9 though. I did have an axe fx 2 and I actually modded my desk to put a rack unit under it so it wasn’t sitting on top.
I thought about doing the same thing. Drilling a hole through the desk and hanging the rack from the desk. But ultimately, this desk is SO big I have plenty of space regardless. I also wanted to be able to switch the buttons on the axefx easier so I don’t have to use the desktop app.
@ well I guess you could replace the top keep the frame if you ever damaged it. You could get a little something to put the axe fx on top of underneath the desk. I would think having that under one of the speakers would make the sound somewhat lob-sided. Looks like a great little space. Be good once you get some treatment up.
Yea. Idk id you can see in the video but there’s already another desk I tried on the frame haha. It feels perfect right now but I’m sure it will keep evolving
Awesome setup but you lost me at the laptop. I can't live without a desktop, its so much nicer and usable. I like the chair and I really need a new one so I might try one of those.
Don’t buy the chair just yet! I have a couple more im showing on the channel! Also, this laptop is powerful enough to run my video editor, photoshop, all my day job programs, and a bunch of other stuff all at the same time. I like it because if I get tired of being home, I can just plug it out and go somewhere else to work.
