Absolutely gorgeous desk and wood - Someone built it for you?
Yup.
I guess I posted before you added that last line.....If you're in LA......
Beautiful setup!
I was going to ask about the speaker stands. Those are really cool!Ha! Scroll back up, I JUST added a paragraph talking about that! What timing.
The tiles on the wall made an enormous different overall, but what I added above explains the bass traps which really helped. Also behind me is a large craft table and small bookcase with cloth storage bins, etc. So while it's an 18' room behind, there are tons of objects breaking up standing waves. When sitting at my mix position, it's surprisingly nice now, and believe me it used to be a horror before the room treatment. That is mandatory in a weird space like mine. Oh, and also the extensive Neumann calibration process is a big part of it. Keeps me from having to measure nodes and anti-nodes and manually trying to EQ the space. Sonarworks would be my choice if the Neumanns didn't come with a solution.
This shot shows it a little better... I have the acoustic tiles on the left also. That really helps minimize corner problems:
BTW, under the speakers are 4" tall yoga blocks which are dense foam and cost 13 bucks for the pair. I never heard of them, someone suggested that when I was blabbing about having to spend a tom for acoustic risers. I love cheap hacks that work, lol! In fact, the stands are a slanted shelf leg from IKEA and I bought two wood cutting boards from Amazon and screwed them in place. What's nice it the stands have a locking nut so while they are mounted tight to the desk, I can rotate if necessary. Yay IKEA.
Whoa. That is NICE. Almost wanting to pull down my IKEA Hack photos, lol. Love how the control panel is built right into the wood! The way the desk is built the keybed doesn't look like a keybed stuck in a desk, it looks like a totally custom piano. And then the piece to turn it into a desk when needed to me tops it. The finish is gorgeous. I'm glad I can't afford this desk, so it doesn't hit my non-ending wish list. This year anyway, lol! Definitely like your speaker choice, are those the 120's? And you have the stands I almost bough... er... invested in before I found my six-dollar yoga blogs, which don't look all that great even though they work, lol!
Thanks, I was trying to decide if they were a little too weird! Guess not!
Thanks! Yes those are KH120s - I’ve enjoyed them for many years (though may be replaced soon).
It looks great! Beautiful woodwork.Just completed this build. Have been shopping for this design and with a 3 month lead time on most large desks and the high price tag I decided to build it myself.
Amazing what one can do with a hammer, chisel, handsaw and a bottle of glue!Just completed this build. Have been shopping for this design and with a 3 month lead time on most large desks and the high price tag I decided to build it myself.
Really appreciate that!
Thanks! Appreciate it!!
Hey @alcorey, haha indeed, the chisel is my secret weapon.Amazing what one can do with a hammer, chisel, handsaw and a bottle of glue!
Absolutely gorgeous Todd.
IS that pullout holding both your keyboard & mouse and your Playing keyboard?
Do you have to remove the mouse & keyboard and pull the other keyboard out to play it?
More pics Please???
exquisiteA few more pics.... The materials are Russian Birch A1 12 ply plywood and the trim is White Oak to match the new floors. This desk is the centerpiece for a Dolby Atmos Mix room so having the mastering style lower profile was desirable.
