Standing desk for home office
FlexiSpot E8: bit.ly/3ATRyce
Bro you really have to make a detailed video of your 'fake' Argosy console. Very impressive indeed. Also with your usual irreverent humour. Really enjoyed this episode.
I know you guys aren’t inherently a review channel. But I will say that the reviews you’ve released are incredibly thorough, transparent, and give very useful information. They’ve been remarkably helpful.
Thank you, Paul!
I think I speak for a lot of us when I say we would love the schematics for that Argosy desk! Incredible video as always, the effort you guys put in to these is truly unmatched in the audio space.
Awesome! Please do a video about making the “fake” Argosy desk. That was a brilliant idea!
Mark really gets going around 10 minutes. Less sarcasm, more genuine excitement over the impact of this work environment change. As someone who works a regular desk job all day at the same desk where I do all of my audio production in the evening, I'm pretty sure these likeable clowns just sold me on a standing desk.
Thanks Matt, it’s really really really good! Once you’re over the initial gimmick value then it makes such a difference to your day - especially if you’re using a desk as much as you are!
So crazy. I've been thinking about doing this in my home studio for quite some time. Thank you for yet another great video. The Flexispot desks look great.
Love my standing desk. I recommend.
Always check the max weight capacity when you buy one
I didn't know I needed this, but I'm in the process of building a new desk for the new studio and it would be incredibly useful. Cheap for what it is too. Thanks guys, once again you're on the money.
Cheers Koss! :)
Another perfect video on a topic that deserves much more attention!
I have done pretty much what you show here and it's awesome. Having your studio desk on a height adjustable frame is extremely useful: You really don't have to do everything standing but getting up once in a while is noticeably better for your back and your productivity - plus I hate recording (electric) guitar sitting down.
I have been thinking about a way to make height adjustable speaker stands too but haven't been able to come up with something that isn't quite so expensive, so my monitors will have to reside on the desk for now.
Can't wait to see how well your solution will work!
This is like one of the best channels I've found during this corona era. I've been putting such a lot of effort into my home mixing spot (which is basically just in my shared flat bedroom), and I just keep getting awesome tips and tricks from you guys. I don't feel like leaving to mix at school any more, as I've got everything so nice for myself here at home now! Extra big thumbs up you monsters!
Thanks Joel! So glad you enjoy our content! Keep up the good work :)
I'm like 30 seconds in.. This channel seems to be morphing into a Top Gear of audio production 😂
Wait until the next video then 😂😂😂
Biggest Congrats for the video, really enjoy it. Very interesting!!
I transitioned to a standing desk about three months ago and I couldn’t be happier. Mine is not adjustable though, so I do everything standing up. It makes me do breaks a little more, but the productivity boost and the performance aspect are so good that I don’t look back.
Great vid as usual chaps. i have built my own sit/stand desk in my studio too, and its awesome for long editing sessions. when mixing i sit down but my 2 sets of nearfileds, 1 set i soffit mounted, and the smaller set i mounted on stands behind the desk. works just fine for editing, but when doing critical mixing, i put into sit position.
I’m very interested in seeing how you guys put together that top. The racks and the final finish 🔥🔥🔥
Love your videos. Very informative and a lot of fun too!
I use one in my studio as well! It's been a great change. I track guitars standing up often and it's really helpful for that too!
You always make my smile, thx guys!
What an uplifting video! Used one of these last month and would definitely like one!
Uplifting 🤣 i see what you did there
so funny this video came out cuz i have been planning to have a standing desk when i next refurb my studio! i was gonna go for a static high table and high chair that i can just kick away to stand... had no idea that motorised desks exist so thanks for this!!
How you guys can have this desk and get work done is beyond me. I would just be using it to go up and down all day, myself.
Great video, as always!
Yes, there is that initial decrease in productivity when you first get one! 🤪
AWESOMEEEE!!! I've been using a standing desk i a configuration like this for some years now, but my speakers are not on the desk and I have been thinking about how to make the speakers move along with the desk also. So, I am VERY MUCH looking forward to a video about that build, PLEASE! :)
Great video as always - thanks a big bunch!!!
Superb Video. I'm in the market for a new desk so i'll certainly check Flexispot out via your link 👍
I died at "Twat in a Van"! Love the jam in the van series.
I have to admit I learn as much about audio as I do British humour and slang from this channel. well done! always have cool content.
the video intro = badass. great job
Interesting to see how the value for money has changed - I was in this situation about 12 years ago. In fact, you've just reminded me why I ditched my speaker stands and got a couple of foam wedges instead: it was when I bought my standing desk! I love it, and I actually now stand up to work pretty much all day when I'm doing my day job (software dev). The studio isn't set up at the moment, but when I've finally moved house I'll be reviewing my studio desk options very carefully in the light of this video because the desk I bought was more limited than the one you reviewed, and it cost me a shade over £2k!
Another excellent and useful review.......got me thinking. Hmm. Thanks guys!
Thanks, Nic!
Very nice video, good job
Excellent video guys. I need to do this for my new studio build.
Thanks for watching! :)
Awesome setup! I look forward to your Adam Audio T8V review. I have the Adam Audio T7V studio monitors and I think it’s the best set of affordable studio monitors. In their price range, there’s simply NO competition. Perfect.
At 4:54 that "standing" icon looks like he's at *ehem* full attention 😂😂😂😂 Great video guys. I'm inspired and gonna have to build one soon.
I wondered how long until someone noticed!
I just got the T8Vs. They are excellent.
But, Is it up enough?
.
Love your channel , keep it up ya poms!
.
Beers and cheers from a Twat downunda.
Thanks for the video
i laughed so art at the coffee bit. nice work
Will the real Present Day Productions please stand up? This was proper good inspiration for a future upgrade. Just brilliant guys. Thank you! 👏
😂😂😂 best comment so far
I gave up on Discord, never worked for me to be honest. Still watching here :). That way of desking has been in my wifes office for sometime. She uses a desktop version that is manual, changed her life too. I think this would help me a ton too. Thanks for the review guys.
Thanks for watching, Tony!
Great concept, if I ever have the space... Thanks!
Thanks Peter :)
Awesomeness! When you raise and lower the main monitors, that will also change the way the speakers interact with the room. I realise the room is exceptionally well treated but it would definitely be interesting to see the measurements in the lower and raised speaker positions.
Acoustic Fields once mentioned that they had subwoofers on chain rigs so they could move them up and down in the room to fine tune where they positionally smoothed out the room modes best. I assume your current seated position gives you a flat-ish (nobody has flat) response. Will that get worse/better as you raise and lower the speakers? Furthermore, people who buy platforms for near field speakers often just hear the altered room/reflection response when the speakers get raised a few inches. So having a few feet to play with will definitely show some noticeable changes….so I recon 😆
Can’t wait to see the main speakers on platforms. I wonder if you can have a single button to raise the desk and both speakers to a pre-set position…..coool as!
It’s all very room dependant. In our studio there is no noticeable difference in sound between the sitting or standing position (in the case of the nearfields on the desk).
I’ve got to get one of these now!
I bought an IKEA desk that goes up and down by using a crank, it was the most affordable option. I play guitars, and I also prefer to do that standing. Before it meant lots of bending down, having to hold the guitar with one hand so it doesn't knock something out or get dinged while I operate the DAW, or constantly putting away to sit and pick up again to play, annoying stuff. Now I can play standing, than just walk to a desk, do whatever on the PC, then take a step back to play again. Seamless.
8:40 .. thank you! iam laughing tears ;-)
Great video, guys ! The content is great and the humour is really refreshing ! Thanks ! :-)
Thank you Roderic :)
@@PresentDayProduction I'd like to create my desk and I'd like to know what is the heavy duty Upliftdesk stand you choose. I don't see it... In France... Is there a specific model I could chase ?
The FlexiSpot E8 :)
Great video as usual, the cat animation was 'UP THERE' with the best! I loved the sequence where you guys looked like you were in a scene from 'Land of the Giants' Did Mark master 'Get Up Stand Up' or was it the cat in a natty shirt? ✌️😜👍
If that Hammond falls from that high, someone might die! lol!
DYI desk build very impressive!
I've been looking at that Argosy sit/stand desk and thinking "someday," but this seems pretty doable; thanks!
And an awful lot cheaper!
Great review lads ...and very much an item on my "would like" list. The model draped over the desk could have made a bit more effort though!!🤣
Mark I really would like to see a detailed video of how you made the Argosy console. I want to make one just like it. I have the Flexispot EC4 frame.
It’s was literally as you saw in the video - two IKEA shelves, some MDF and a bit of imagination!
@@PresentDayProduction You didn’t show measurements and shape you cut the pieces to. Even if you just posted a hand drawn schematic of the diagram with measurements it would help.
Great post, but i do wonder how the sound will be if the monitors also can go up. Great desk btw, bless.
Nice!
Floppy needs to do more segments
I agree!
When its 2021 and the Clarett OctoPreX still the main interface in the middle. Gotta be a magic tool
It is indeed a magic tool. We’ve had every high end converter through the doors you can imagine, and nothing sounds as clean and neutral as that thing!
@@PresentDayProduction on a system without thunderbolt , do you think its a good a idea to use the 8preX as a slave to oher interface via ADAT?
Amazing video and I love the idea of this but I'm struggling to make it work with optimal speaker positions without needing a crazy deep desk to get the speakers far enough away for proper placement. Maybe a kind of step up section to the desk, that's further away like those cheap Z desks you can find on gear4music (like a spoiler on a car that's up and back).
Yeah that could work - but as you shouldn’t stand all the time, just as you shouldn’t sit all the time, I think speakers on stands is the best option and then pick either the sitting or standing position for critical listening and do the other when you’re editing, or emailing, or other tasks that don’t necessarily require you to be in the sweet spot. That’s working for me!
I like this.
LOL! "Twat in a Van"
Great video, thanks. Is there any wobble on the desk when it's in standing position? Do you think it would support a keyboard tray and still be stable when the tray is extended? Thanks
There’s not much wobble at all. I (James) could sit on it at its full extended height and it didn’t wobble much!
It should be absolutely fine with something like a keyboard tray. It can hold a huge amount of weight so a tray would be easy!
I've been doing this for 4 years now. Built from a IKEA motorized frame
You mentioned that you would want to get two standing desks, one for your work and one for your monitors, can you sync up the motors so that when you press one button they both go up or down?
Those monitor stands under the t8v monitors are cool which are they ?
3:27 😳🤭 holy chyt!
You use some speaker stands at one point (not the home made ones, the ones with the shelves). What are those? Where can I get them? What are the pads below them? I have the same issue with speaker height and this looks like a very nice solution
Would love to see the moving speaker stands too
ruclips.net/video/WAUmKQ2HXGg/видео.html
This is amazing! Which model did you use for the larger heavier setup?
We only had the one model throughout - the E8
Once I move into my new place I am getting this. Wow, thanks!
Nice one! It’s a really great investment
Great vid, just wondering if you have a link for the 2 black speaker shelves shown in the first desk example? thanks.
If you’re thinking of the shelves at 6:30 ish, they’re actually IKEA shelves!
As for the ones on the super desk we made, everything is handmade by us.
@@PresentDayProduction IKEA shelves? Looks like I'm off to IKEA in the morning! Thanks for the info and keep up the great work! I found this video very interesting, Cheers!
Just wondering how you got the legs so wide for the desk. How does that work. They look really narrow in the product images on their site.
Also, did the desk wobble much in use.
I'm considering one of these as well, and is thought i could just get a deeper desktop and mount speaker stands in the back corners and the rest towards the center, so the speakers would still be fast enough back. Wouldn't that work fine? Why do you need to get two more of these adjustable bases?
I would need to get two more of these because our main monitors are ATC SCM200s which weigh around 90KG each!
I really liked this. But, please comment on this: How is the stability? I'm not just talking about it being safe. I'm talking about how much you can feel the desktop wobble or shake while using it or leaning on it while working. Does it feel as solid and stable as a regular desk? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for watching! Yes, it’s as solid as a rock. Even at the extreme of its height with half a Hammond on top there was only a small amount of wobble - and that was due to the wheels. With its regular feet it’s really stable.
@@PresentDayProduction Thank you for the reply! You guys are great. :-)
if you put speakers on them the sound will change when u stand up , will they not ? they would in my control room , mayb you have lots of headroom lol . great vid as always you are getting more crazy with each video your both mad as hatters . bsafe DUDES ;)
How are you going to synchronise desk and speaker movement, would all three work with one control?
Working on that one….
I've been contemplating a similar solution for quite a while for the studio desk.
Similar to yourselves, biggest concern is speaker placement. Considering how critical speaker placement and acoustic treatment is in the room, and the fact that speakers should be as de-coupled from things as possible, every real recommendation out there says speakers should be on their own stands.
Any advice on the best way of putting speakers on a desk (like this scenario) without compromising sound quality?
I think the answer for me would be to do the critical listening sitting down with the monitors on stands, then stand up for checking on headphones, editing, and less critical tasks
9:41 Does this imply that multiple E8s can be linked together? Or do you have to walk to the monitor stand E8s and adjust the height again?
Out of the box you’d have to adjust each one independently, but as the keypad plugs in on a Cat5 cable we think there could be a hack…
Cool Intro
10:51
😂🤣😂🤣😂
How does this effect speaker placement/Sound? nodes,etc..
That will depend entirely on your room. I’d advise getting a seated listening position sorted, with speakers on stands behind the desk, and getting that as good as it can be, and then adopting the standing position for less critical tasks such as editing, admin etc.
Planning to get one! How stable is the desk? Debating whether to put the monitor speakers on the desk, or leave on stands. Relative position, seated, would be the same. But concerned - even with something like the IsoAcoustics 200 desk monitor iso stand - about the acoustic compromise by having a less stable structure - presumably the desk is (a lot) more wobbly, than a decent 1m high stand. Thoughts? Thanks!
The stand has been really stable while we are using it. Even with a lot of weight on it, and even at it’s full height, it’s remarkably stable.
@@PresentDayProduction Great - many thanks for the (speedy!) reply. Debating whether to put the speakers on it as well, and between this and the Jarvis. The latter has a higher weight capacity, which might be handy. But I'm guessing might be a bit more wobbly, from what I've gathered so far ...
Do you have plans you can share?
Is it “Sanodesk” as in sanitation of your sitting? Or did they get short of t and d when trying to type in Standodesk?
We were also wondering this!
@@PresentDayProduction Although a very good thing to have in the workspace. Much better to stand up for blood circulation and such ‘good’ stuff.
Pic @ 7:40. How does that work? Didn't you have to cut out the desk top between the rack sides to accommodate the rack gear? Could you detail the build in another video?
It’s easy enough to cut a square out for rack gear with a jigsaw. Or square up the racks at the front so you don’t have to
@@PresentDayProduction I wish you added more details on how you built the desk.
Nobody sells exactly the desk the way you made it, with the two tilted rack panels only to the sides and that can accommodate the speakers on their tops. Companies usually sell workstations either with a whole long shelf that has 3 columns of racks (meaning the display will be too high), or otherwise they sell desks with tilted side panels, but that do not have the space to hold the speakers on their tops (which is not ideal for a standing desk). Your desk is the only example I could find after weeks of digging online that would check all the boxes. Too bad its tutorial is a sequence of jumpcuts lasting no longer than 50 seconds including the funny animations and jokes (and don't get me wrong, I did like those animations a lot).
Still is more info that I could ever find anywhere else for a sit-stand music desk, but as I am not an experienced woodworker, I am still intimidated.
Your work is exceptional btw, you have boosted the quality of your videos immensely over the years.
We intend on making a desk kit at some point in the near future, after our speakers are all launched and everything’s moving
That's the Standing Preset button?
Which model are those speaker risers at 6:40?
IKEA mini bookshelves
Kali in8 V2 review?
Do you happen to have a coupon code or link for the US flexispot site?
The US site is www.flexispot.com but we don’t have a discount code for that unfortunately - I have emailed and asked for one for our US viewers!
@@PresentDayProduction Thank you 🙏
Is this channel where you rewired your studio to thunderbolt or fire wire only. Might of been a patch bay. Any way it was cool.
We have a Thunderbolt Focusrite Clarett 8PreX, so maybe that’s what you’re thinking of!
We also have CAT5 between the rooms.
@@PresentDayProduction Yes that’s it. Thanks. I want to show some studio engineers that video. Thanks 🙏
That’s quite an expensive electrical appliance, just to help raise your old organ up... but I suppose it comes with age. Rather than buy more desks, perhaps dig a hole/pit in front of your listening position... put the desk in it... and raise/lower yourself, as required.
Is there a link to the suppliers or company?
The top link in the description will take you there:

... Just kidding, PLEASE, for the love of God, don't try it! I still don't know how mine got into my basement and apparently I was the one lifting it with a friend. Too traumatizing a memory to remember anything :P
My brain has also removed many memories of shifting those around!
In your face rising desk in my face : )
well if you're not keeping it i'll take it off your hands for a couple of quid and some petrol money
Been trying to think of a witty comment, but can't rise to the task
Instead of a Hammond, you should have gone with the “high Rhodes” opportunity…
Boooooooomph!! 🤣🤣
@@PresentDayProduction Let's hope the waterfall keyboard doesn't live up to its name?
fun ----- but.............
Twat in a van hahaaa
I envy you because you own a real Hammond (I bought a Viscount Legend to survive).
But come on... This is surely the most stupid way to use a Hammond organ! LoL
