Things keep moving around in here. Some more than once. I have several IKEA shelves and 2 corner units. I’m in the midst of migrating them into the area that will become my vox booth sometime soon. I have read several articles stating that full bookshelves are good for sound control. I don’t know for certain when it will be complete but I see light at the end of the tunnel and it’s not an oncoming freight train. Then again. Is a studio ever really done? So here are some pics and explanations. I originally shot a video but there is too much movement and some shakiness that can cause one’s stomach to reach AKA Hurlcam. Pic 1. Slant shelf I built decades ago. It has 15 spaces per side. Still serves its purpose. Once I figure where the console is going, I’ll have a better idea where it go…along with another 26 unit rack. Pic 2. These shelves will be migrating downstairs to the vox area. I can’t call it à booth yet per se. Pic 3. Looking from the vertex down one ray from where the drums will live. Pic 4. My console which is yet to be moved.along with my MiniMoog atop a Westlake BBSM-10. That’s a very good jazz base copy. There is a Strat of the same type to the right of kit. Pic 5. My Baby. 1967 Fwnder Tremolux and two bandmaster 2 x 12 cabs. I don’t remember if I’ve said this before but…I bought the lower cab at a garage sale in LaGrange, IL for $5 bucks. It was in good condition. I figured for $5 it was worth it, even if it was empty. I paid the guy running the sale with his wife. I asked why so cheap. He said they were selling everything to move, even stuff that belonged to their son. The son never picked it up. When I lifted it to go in the car, it was heavy as hell. Hmmmm. Got it hom, laid it face down, opened up the back and saw a JBL D120 and an EVM12. Best five bucks I ever spent. Pic 6. my newly modified bass rig. Top head is a Crate B150. These were good amps in the day. This one needs to be recapped. Below that is a Sunn Coliseum Bass head. 320 watts of raw power. This thing is Loud as hell. Next level down is a Crate BX410. 4 x 10”. I bought it two weeks ago for $60. The bottom box is a Peavey 115 Black Widow. It sounds good. A friend came over a couple of days ago with a ‘75 Gibson Grabber and a 64’ Precision. He’s a much better bassist than me. He put it through the paces. Passes with flying colors.

Seriously I don't know what the count is at this point nor if we've already discussed the Round Hill lawsuits against both Suno and Anthropic for $1 Billion each. And Round Hill is taking no prisoners. They're statement of intent is that they are not looking to settle. https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/round-hill-sues-suno-and-anthropic-for-up-to-1bn-apiece-it-isnt-looking-to-settle/

How often, and with what? I'm just curious, and interested. 🤔😁

Or in this case, where do I put all of this stuff. As planned, my space more than doubled this morning. Now comes the heavy mental lift of figuring out where everything goes in order to make my studio much more ergonomic without sacrificing sound, acoustics, ease of use, or visual environment. Everything in it's place, everything all over the place. Mine is a challenging space as it is a 90 degree angle. I would love to put a drum booth on one end of a ray and a vocal/amp booth on the end of the other ray. I'm looking to place my 89" long x 39"x console, FX and Synth racks and keyboards within the vertex of the angle, requiring little effort to reach all of it. I'm looking at either having my Logic station with 88 key MIDI controller angle inward just a bit so that I can access other keyboardsI like being in the same room as the talent, plus I'll be talent from time to time. Thus I do not intend to build a control room. We'll see how it develops.
