At least now I feel slightly better about my own messy studio. Mine is a tiny 10'x10' room, and I'm constantly struggling to find room for more gear, while fighting my natural tendency to accumulate clutter. As long as you can still use the gear, I wouldn't worry too much about the aesthetics.

I have recently been trolling the photo section of the list and noticed how much more tidy everyone's studios seem. Mine is not at all! It doesn't usually get in the way but I must admit it makes it hard to have someone over to jam with. I decided to use public shame as a means to stir me to do some cleaning. So here are my "before" pictures: http://gallery.me.com/ ersatzplanet#100007&bgcolor=black&view=mosaic&sel=5 Hopefully soon I can post a set of "after" pictures. I'm hoping some others on this list have some clutter to share so I don't feel too bad... -James, in the basement, hopefully tidying up a bit.

My studio room is completely useless at the moment, it's so messy. Some of us aren't actually cleaner than you, we just choose to only take pictures on the occasions when we're clean! -Brandon

Thanks you really made my day. I thought I had a messy studio ;-)Cool gear though. Amazing that you have those Mirage samplers! They sound soooo gritty.

They are so dirt cheap in used shops when you find them. I think I got the rack ones for $75 each at the time. The keyboard Mirage was the ONLY keyboard/rack unit/synth I have ever bought new. I've had it for decades. Lucky for me I never learned to play on a regular keyboard and the horrible action never bothers me at all. I have around a hundred disc for the things but really use only 3-6 sounds on them. I have a Piano disc I got somewhere that I always use - a beautiful dirty gritty real sounding piano. The added benefit is that the CEM chips in them are worth MUCH more than what I paid for them! -James On Jul 21, 2008, at 11:54 PM, achtung_999 wrote: > Thanks you really made my day.
