Presumably, if you turned the camera 90 degrees to the right, we'd see the huge pile of junk that you'd just swept off of your desk?

S.P.

Not yet lol. Just setting everything up in the house atm. There's a pile of bass cases I'm trying to work out where to keep though

[Mornats]

That's very nice. Mine's way too cramped at the moment.

Are they 5" speakers you've got there? Was just curious about whether they pump out enough bass for you. I've got a pair of BX5a's that are a bit lacking in the bass. Not sure if it's my setup or the speakers though as my desk is right in the corner.

[ROConnell]

It looks really nice and slick! Very tidy too.

Tidy equals productive.

Though I'm not sure how productive actual work would be in there though with that nice TC rig sitting in that corner!

Yeah hs50ms have 5" speakers. I don't find them lacking (infact the floor shakes if I crank them). More important than how good any speaker is, is that you know them. As long as they're revealing enough you're laughing IMHO.

Having the speakers in the corner usually makes things basses iirc. Have you tried getting your speakers at ear level? Makes a world of difference.

We'll see ;-)

With my laptop dock there its kinda annoying having to switch the usb cable from the laptop to the desktop. Anyone know if there are any kind of switches that mat be suitable? Did consider using a hub but I expect it would cause more trouble than it solved

Cheers!

Do you know if it'll cause any latency or noise issues?

[51m0n]

Time to build some bass traps and broadband absorption I think....

(Note to self, must get on with first proper blog piece!)

[charic]

It's rented acommo and not likely to be anywhere near an "ideal" room unfortunately, just somewhere nice to work and mix

[Valhalalf]

Glad to see it went back together ok

[charic]

Yep it got a few scratches when I moved it from my grandads garage but they'll smooth out

You can still make some bits and bobs to help that arent attached to the walls though. Not too expensive or difficult either if you have some tools and time....

[charic]

Time yeah.. kinda.. Tools I can borrow

On a side note 51m0n do you know if using the USB switch would likely introduce any problems with the MBOX?

[51m0n]

I honestly dont know, havent used an mbox. Sorry!

[Rimskidog]

protools isnt great with hubs. Some work better than others. I think I might have one around that works if you want it?

[charic]

I've already ordered this thanks, its just for switching the interface between two different computers.

If its just going spare then I might still be interested though, thanks!
