I don't know how much you'll be able to show us, but I'm really looking forward to seeing "your first proper session" in February. I want to see this place in action!
the studio looks really amazing. i love the colors of the floors and the acoustic panels etc. i think you've achieved the funky functional non-sterile but professional non-office-like vibe. well done.
The Jaspers racks are really nice for keyboards. I've got two of the rectangular racks and a few of their other tiered stands, and its so nice to have them. You can adjust the tilt of each synth and they are modular, so you can move things around easily.
If you got an AC unit above the guitars, blowing down hot air on them, you will eventually dry them out,. they are going to need some work and the neck relief will change. Nice build! bet that room sounds cool when you are done.
1 vote here for guitars on the walls. I've done it in my studio, couldnt figure out a better way to store them and have them ready to use, without too much floor space. Happy Holidays!
Very cool design, particularly the control room. My setup is much more modest. I have a Home Depot crankable standing desk with my Arturia Keylab 88 MKII on the top, and a keyboard drawer below. There's a Presonus compressor mounted on a small shelf, where my SM7B connects and a MOTU interface mounted under the worktop, my Ableton Push 3 sits on a small shelf. But I would love a nice big studio like yours ;-)
If you want, you can also look into the option of having a "drum-brella" like they had in Barefoot recording (eric valentine) amongst other places. I think it would be a really fun build:)
take a look at some Par 16's Mains voltage, the 12v ones are a pain in the bum. LED MR16 bulbs; narrow for the guitars and wides for the floor, this will sort the lighting out in the booth. dead light, easy to hang. - just a thought! r Gott nytt år
As I just spent like the last 18 months laying cables for 15 synths and 10 effect pedals - all connected via 1/4 patchbays - and the sheer amount of power-, audio- and MIDI-cables (in total: at least 350) is pretty overwhelming, I wonder ... aren't you taking "setting up a synth corner with everything hooked up" a bit too lightly? Where are the MIDI connectors and MIDI to CV converters? Do you have a proper MIDI clock to rule over all of that? This has been quite a nightmare for me 😣 Also when they upgraded our 5 story apartment house with a spiral escape staircase at the side of the building, they used steel modules - each with something like a "flower pot" in the center that fit into the one below, with one stair attached to it, which then could be rotated and screwed tight to form a staircase. Maybe a better option than building a 5m tall steel monster and then wondering how to erect it without anyone dying 😉
I’m going to just re-setup my rig I had in my last studio, I’ll have a separate patch bay in the rack underneath the synth shelves, I mainly just use one thing at a time, so clocking hasn’t been too much of an issue for me so far.. maybe one day I’ll get something a bit more elaborate but I’d rather do more of a cv based setup in that case.. as for the spiral staircase we have a plan for how to brace the central pole while we construct the treads etc.. watch this space!
@@idea_farmWell for now, I'm using a hardware ERM Midiclock (the small one, not the big Multiclock with individual time offsets per channel) going into a MioXL hub and an CV.OCD by six4pix to convert clock and MIDI to CV. That allows me to remote-control even my "CV only" gear to some degree from a hardware sequencer or DAW at the other end of the room. So far, I've been able to route and address everything without any nasty MIDI loops or doppler effects, even though I'm using 3 hardware sequencers (2x Polyend Seq and a Squarp Hapax). I'm quite happy with that setup, but it took ages to finetune - like: which synth acts as the master keyboard and which only listens ...
Hey there! love your videos. plz let me know in the future if you would also be willing to sell the studer rack/cart you built. I also have a 962 and this looks like exactly what I need (:
I have worked as Servcie electronic engineer back in the late 90's for Yamaha , Roland , and Korg and lots of music equipment as mixers, effects, PA and other stuff. But today i work against a bigger company with replace obsolete components on circuit boards, sometime redesign layout. And for hobby I service HAM radio equipment as i also are inte Radio stuff. So if you need some electronic (music) repair help in future you can ask me maybe i can help, no garanties tho.
You've got to be very proud. What an amazing accomplishment.

I imagine it's no small task but i think adding a "drumbrella" type panel that you could lower from ceiling would give you some cool options
Love all the plans! Happy new year and best wishes for 2025! It is going to be amazing!
Happy new year!

How fun with the organ/keys restoration projects!

Definitely agree with gobos + leaving the walls bare. More options for u and your clients
That studer is a Jem ❤️
Happy new year Idea Farm .. hope to see you sometime in the future 🙂
Good luck! In 2025 I’ve been watching since the old days and look forward to all you’ll do in the future!
Really nice, living the dream 🤟🏼
Best wishes for the new year
You too, have a good one!

Great episode!
Happy New Year! =)
Thanks! You too!
shoot in 60fps when doing handheld videos like this, it makes it way easier
for us to see things when the camera is panning
Deffo got to be a synth rack built out of scaffold poles and painted with matt black emulsion 🤘🤘
Crack on … sorry that’s a different channel 😂

Yes ok I will.. you can see me build this one in a video a couple of months ago.. maybe you can make your own?
@@idea_farm Yeah! def a cool project - Just not the handyman myself (: obviously make sense to sell as a whole. Just keep me in mind (:
What kind of studio monitors are you using?
Atc scm20a, Adam sub, ns10s
Just wondering... Is that a Fairchild in the rack or an UnFairchild?
It’s a POMchild!
@@idea_farm Ha! That unit caught my eye too! Would be good to have some vidoes on the outboard at some point

Wow thanks for the offer.. I might (definitely) do that :) how can I contact you? Feel free to drop me a line on Instagram!
@@idea_farm i have posted a email at your Store contact form. 😶
Blade Runner was in 2019.
Wow that was ages ago.. what’s next then? demolition man?
@@idea_farm That's in 2032. A nap and we''re there.
