Thanks both. More shelves is just prolonging the agony! There are a couple of local auction houses I shall look at now that I have thought of the solution below. I could butcher a bureau so that the screen sat at an angle facing slightly up from the base of the first drawer. I have seen desks with screens set like that. I could still close it all up and pretend that it is just an antique oak bureau. Maybe. But writing this stuff down helps me process things. It is just unfortunate for you lot that you have to read it.

That is absolutely fair enough I wish you well with you search.

You people are all in league with BIG FX and are forcing me to spend big money on boutique stuff. Shame on you.

Nano Cortex. Get your preamps in there. Sell them all. Which will pay for the Nano Cortex. I am fully aware that there are subtleties which would be lost as different instruments interact with different front ends in different ways. But as soon as the Guitarmageddon kicks in, those subtleties will disappear anyway.

I guess this is the most obvious thread to put this conundrum to the hive mind. I have a desk which is a slab of MDF cut to fit sideways into one side of a chimney breast. It is almost 8'x4' and I can get LOADS of stuff on to it. Of course, the problem is that having that much space means that I actually DO have LOADS of stuff on it. I have an old bloke vanity project of subjecting the world to the noise I make when I record. I can not actually get to the kit which is buried under LOADS of stuff to pursue the creative process. Of course, I could just keep the desk tidy. But I cannot. I am not wired that way. I have been wondering about a writing bureau with the innards ripped out and mounting a widescreen monitor in there. This would be exclusively a workstation which could be closed, and the room would look significantly less cluttered. I would need monitor speakers on external stands. It looks as if my idea would need a supersized bureau, which does not seem to exist. I am not going to commission one because that would be ridiculous money. I have twin visual monitors at the moment, but could go for an ultrawide jobbie quite happily. Does anyone have any ideas?

Those are superb. I have eyed them from afar for years.

It's all about the feels!

Yummy! With a D tuner for E?

You only need to watch until 0:17.

I fancy being able to slow down a loop so that it sounds like someone has just turned the power off. Is there a pedal which will do this but without me dropping £300+ for a one off end of song thing? LIke this, but not as spendy

OK, thanks. I am not in the market right now. But I like to know these things. And I suspect I am not the only one.

So, are these going to be available commercially?

Welsh pickups bringing THE TOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!

If 4 tracks are (muddle muddle) good enough for Jaco (confusion) they are good enough for us (quizzical look into the middle distance).

Washes of flabby mush FTW!

I don't understand! Everyone needs more low end, surely.

Diolch! I have sent you a message. Yep those ATC SCM100 boxes have spoilt anything else for me. We have a pair of SCM45 where I used to work and they have made me consider doing something really rash!

SSL have a new AI powered EQ, Dynamics and Mix Buss set of jobbies. £79 initial price. Until you actually order them. Then they smack £15.80 on top for tax. Pretty uncool behaviour. It does say Tax Excluded on the page, but who reads that when the ads all say "introductory £79"? Humph.

Ooh ooh ooh. I have a Chris Childs story! As he moved up the ladder, he left a vacant spot with a Cardiff based Theatre Company which were pushing forward the boundries of theatre as we then knew it. They were called Brith Gof. With substantial Arts Council funding. I have no idea how my name came up. I lived 5 hours away at the other end of Wales. Anyway, they were writing their next production (8 way sound system on 40 foot scaff towers in one of the Harland and Wolf shipyard buildings). One player on each tower and a joystick to pan us to anywhere while the audience were pounded by waves of sound. They were also dodging earth and chalk dust. While the performers flew in on harnesses. I was sent a cassette of what Chris had put down. It was a fretless concerto. I immediately knew that I was WAY out of my depth and my time with them would last the 10 minutes it took for the MD to realise I was not Chris and never would be Chris. Astonishingly I was kept on. If you ever read this Chris, cheers! I had a lot of fun.

It is a new name for me. But those knobs look lush!

His work is the bomb.

U5. Nice.
