I do have the home studio to end all home studios. There will be a site up very soon with all sorts of pics. The link already exists on my links page, but nothing is on the site yet. You'll see!

I'm looking forward to the Wood Shed webpage. I take it that Wood Shed is more than a personal home studio, but is also a business studio?
Do you know if content is ready for the page? Are you just waiting to have the page designed, put together and posted?

Nice setup, Mr. B. Looks like you are serious about your gaming!
Basically I'm waiting for everything - all the personnel (photographer, web designer) are in place, the concept is there, just no content or execution yet. It's all about scheduling.
The Woodshed is where I write, record, and mix my scores. The only time I record elsewhere is when I need to record a large (over 20 players) orchestra.
My studio is unique - it was designed and built from the ground up in my backyard with digital recording in mind. With digital workstations you have the ability to move anything anywhere. So we designed a studio with a completely flexible floor plan. Interior sound walls run on recessed tracks in the ceiling, enabling me to configure the space in many ways. Small control room with a large recording room, or vice-versa. Recording room can also be subdivided into smaller iso rooms. Office and bathroom and sleeping loft also wired for mic and headphones, adding more iso booth possibilities. Basement computer room also has two iso boxes permanently wired to recording rig - one box has a Leslie cabinet, the other a Marshall. Nine cpus, three switchable mobile flatscreens for cpus, 50" wheeled flatscreen monitor for video, full Protools HD rig. Any equipment that creates any sort of ambient noise - cpus, power supplies, etc. - are all relegated to the basement. The studio, even with all equipment on at full tilt, is dead silent. All of the above built in solid mahogany and clear Douglas fir in the Craftsman style, overlooking the Pacific. Kinda hard to describe.

Thanks for the compliment and for checking out my Flickr' page! Strangely enough...I don't spend a lot of time gaming. I'm really a casual gamer. I do love my tech toys. Your modular studio sounds very accommodating and efficent. Are ya cranking up the A/C in that enviroment? ;D So, Woodshed is mainly for your work and it isn't an open commercial type studio to record bands 'n such? It would be interesting to see some video tour of the studio once the site goes up. But then again..videos would cost for more bandwidth. Thanks again for your time and input! ~David -end communication

The Woodshed is available to record projects other than my own when I'm not using it. I have rented it out a few times and we have flirted with the idea of renting out the entire property (including our four bedroom house) as a residential studio - ideal for a band or artist that wants to take a few months to write and record.
The studio has two a/c zones plus two more units in the basement to keep the cpus and the Leslie cool. Malibu is a very temperate climate though, so the a/c units don't really have to work that hard. What we are shooting this weekend is a stop-motion still photo tour, showing the equipment move and the walls assemble. Also we are shooting a 3D 360 degree vitual zoomable shot. Should be an awesome site.

It's good to hear that content is being created for the studio webpage. I'm looking forward to seeing your recording enviroment.
Take it easy!

The "home studio to end all home studios," huh? Well we'll see about that! Egor, throw the switch! Spin me around so that my controls may face our unsuspecting little friends in Malibu... Booooaaahahahahahahaha! [Evil manaical laughter echoes into the distance somewhere above Santa Barbara] p.s. Hope you had a nice birthday.

I wonder how that would work exactly...
Mr. Now comes to both studios; plays guitar and sings; and we see which studio works better? Or which room reconfigures faster? Or which one has better snacks?
So, how many of those BIG "studio knob" dimmers do you have?
Um, I gotta run to Costco, be right back.
And I can still sequence faster on my Atari than you can on your MPC.
Maybe we can each post pictures, and let your viewers decide...
Of course you'd probably ban them all if you didn't win... And they know that.
Now let's see, I thought the button for the destructo-ray was right here next to the talkback...

Oooo - I'd say the gauntlet has been thrown down! I'd say let's base it on the view.
Hopefully whoever bothers to read this will one day get to see them both via websites or mags. We are working on a pretty cool site for the Woodshed - how about yourself?
Never have felt the need for dimmers - we rely on natural light during the day and at night we just turn on whatever lights we need. No need for potentiometer halfway measures.
The real question is whose assistant can program faster - as long as Nick keeps calling you for advice, I think I'll win that one!
But I am serious about the Mix mag thing - we'll talk this weekend when I finally see your lazy susan.

What? you're STILL alive? Clearly that pagoda you've built for yourself must be stronger than I thought... waaait a minute... DAMN YOU EGOR! I said 'Malibu' - NOT 'Maldives'!!! SPIN THE SUSAN!!! [In other news, our deepest condolences go out to anyone with relatives recently in or around several small archipelagos in the Indian Ocean. Truly an um, unexpected tragedy.] The closest thing I currently have to an assistant is an Alpaca. Not sure how well it can sequence. Otherwise, actually not much of a difference. Well. I guess you'll be needing the guestroom now. Until this weekend, then. C. ;D

The War of the Home Studios will be joined soon, all you eager readers... It appears I have missed quite the war between studios. Very interesting indeed. What is word on the front? Us armchair Generals need updated information. "Generals and Majors ah ah they're never too far from battlefields so glorious out in a world of their own They'll never come down

Mr. Gibbs,
Did you ever own a Yamaha CP-70B? I recently acquired one and was told that it belonged to someone in Oingo Boingo. Any idea who it could've belonged to?
Matt
