Post Your Workstation Pics!

Grinner, are those seperate waveform displays under the 2 LCD's? What kind of LCD's are those as well? Love the old school CRT. I need one of those as well.

When I was visiting a well respected facility in Mexico most of their desks were large sheets of plywood on saw horses.

Anyone else have some cool workstations they want to share?

I'm holding off showing pics until I rearrange and get my new plasma. But Panasonic is taking too damn long!

 

[Jonathan Stevenson]

Which one are you getting?

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Either the TC-P50VT25 or the TH-50P3F13* Both are 50" and use the same panel, both 3D capable. The latter model is the "pro" version, which can take the various input boards. The model number on the latter may change, I've seen a few variations of it as Panasonic hasn't officially announced it yet. Both should be on display at NAB. with the VT25 model coming avilable to buy before the end of April.

There is also the TC-PxxG25 models, which will be very similar, sans 3D. However, they only run at 48Hz for 24fps content so flicker is often apparent. The two mentioned above will operate at 96Hz for 24fps content. I'm leaning toward the pro model unless it takes them too long to deliver or the price is too far out of line. Traditionally, the pro models are only $100 to $200 more than the top of the line consumer models, but they get you on the interface modules. Like the TH-58PF12UK. 12th generation 1080p panel for about $2250 delivered. But it costs $2400 to get the dual-link HD-SDI module for it. The VT series is supposed to have a full ISF calibration mode with support for gamma curves, etc.. If that's the case, I see no reason to go the Pro route when I can use an AHA Hi5 3G HD-SDI to HDMI converter for like $550.

My apartment about 4 years ago. I've moved since and had a new studio setup in my garage. the garage setup is actually balanced and padded but havent gotten around to taking a picture yet oh yea and a lot cleaner than the apt too

 

[Jonathan Stevenson]

If someone is interested, here is a pic of my home photo/sound workstation, more serious color correction is done at the photo club lab lab 10 minutes away.

 

[Jonathan Stevenson]

Looks like the image doesn't want to load all the way?

 

[Matthias Hutter]

Hmm, works fine for me.
I have uploaded a more compressed version, does it work now?

[Jonathan Stevenson]

Ah, works fine. Guess my browser was being stupid.

Love those audio monitors! What model are they?

Dynaudio BM6a's. Sweet.

I'm a big fan of their stuff and have recorded and mixed many tracks on my BM15a's.

 

[Matthias Hutter]

Those are BM12a's.
I've bought them half a year ago after months of test hearings, and I really like them. The EMU 0404 Interface sitting beside them cannot hold up to that standard, but sadly there wasn't enough money left for something better - at least for now.

12a's even better!

When your finances allow look for a used Metric-Halo ULN-2. Steller audio performance and will be the perfect match to your Dyna's and worth every penny.

Love Dynaudios - are they definately not BM6a Mkii's ? I thought the BM12a's were a bit bigger...

about to put down some cash for a pair of Dynaudios - but trying to decide what model.

How have you found them ? are they good for just general music listening as well as editing ?

As I don't do sound editing for a living (I'm a physics student), thats what I mainly bought them for. But after long test hearings, I'd say it mainly depends on location and preferences. If you're listening near field, don't have a too holm room and enjoy neutral, revealing sound, they are hard to beat. As a bonus, they don't suffer nearly as much from ear fatigue as many other studio monitors do.

Yeah I have heard about them (though not actually heard them), but I did not have more money left.

They are the 12's. Maybe they look smaller because my desk is rather small.

Good night,
Matt

 

[Charles X]

Great thanks for that Matthias...
Sounds like just what I'm after for my medium sized room.
Now to try and listen/compare the BM6amkII vs BM12A and make a decision..
Only thing I'm thinking is that the BM6amkII's might be better should I decide to get a sub down the line... hmm
