Whut? Not in a life time. I am old enough to admire such a walk down the memory lane, and your will to fight with it. Rest assured.

I like that pic

The last time I saw a guy in latex/PVC with synths was as a teenager having a crush on Marc Almond

D.A.W.less

I spy an EML 400/401 system.

Yes! I have also Eml 200, Eml 101 and Eml 500

Fk me that’s how it’s done!

What? No 100 to finish it out! 😜

Now I know why EML are so rare and hard to come by

You have them all

oh I ogled the equipment..

va va vaoom baby..

Microwave XT is shortly to have a Waldorf M below…saucy!

ahem. I meant you.

But the gear is quite nice too. It's unusual to have dark walls, but I find it relatable.

Do you have any sensory processing conditions that make that feel better? I prefer low light, very minimal and neutral myself.

I have auditory hypersensitivity, honestly, the dark walls were just 1. Because I wanted to feel I was living in a cyber-noir film and 2. I had horrid early 80’s textured wallpaper, like lumpy semolina, and that colour (called “Aftershow”, aren’t aspirational paint names hilarious?) made it look kind of cool.

Nice reels! Is that an Otari peeking out at us?

Otari mx-80 32-track and Studer A80 8-track, what is hiding behind.

A80

Tell me about it.Even more I suffering lack of EML 300 and EML 301...

mx-80

Hot

I completely spaced it on those. I’m sending myself to the penalty box!

Damn, I’ve always wanted an 8 track A80. Had the 4 track 1/2” model a few years back.

As requested by my wife, her vocal chain is completely separated from my mixers and she doesn't need me to turn anything on and off for her.

That inspired her to expand the studio, reorganize some of it and added a big backdrop that looks fantastic on video.

Don't miss the Echo Fix real tape delay in the back, behind the Oberheim TVS and Model D reissue. That's my easiest expansion area. No Studers - yet.

See some pics below, and one of her karaoke videos in Portuguese she does occasionally in between participating on my videos.

No DAW's in this workflow as it's built for live video. I only track here; stem mastering is done by someone with amazing hardware and ears.

Vocal chain: Rode NT2A, Sound Devices usbpre2, kt-1176, Speck EQF 810, Vermona Retroverb

I need to get everything wired back up but it's semi functional. The new Oberheim OB-X8 is making me very very happy.

@ iksrazal what Korg is in your pic? I'd love to see pics of all your synths/keyboards.

@ Jaded_musician what boards are those?

From the far left on the cabinets above the rack gear: The monos - Roland SE-02, Pioneer Toraiz AS-1 and Moog Siren.

Left Stand - Dave Smith Tempest, HyrdaSynth Explorer, Sequential Prophet 6 and Akai MPC Live.

The big stand - Oberheim OB-X8, Sequential Prophet XL and Yamaha CP88, Korg WaveDrum and a Moog Theremin for fun and excitement.

That's a Korg Oasys, below the Moog One.

My other two synths with an attached keyboard is the Oberheim TVS and Moog model D reissue.

Here's a few earlier pics, and a few new ones.

I have 11 synths and some of them are at a tight angle for pics. Here's a pic of the Moog Voyager RME with the CP-251, VX-351 and VX-352 expanders - and also the Future Retro XS.

Poly’s & Desk

Cool! Yeah, you can't go wrong with an Otari and/or a Studer. What a great combination. I have an Otari MX-50.

Lovely set up.

I have a Curuxa 3 bay desk and would have preferred if the bays could be a bit steeper, like yours. I also really wanted to try those speakers but the local distributor let me down so many times I got fed up and went in a different direction.
