This is my workspace where I do all of my production work. It’s actually grown a fair amount bigger than it used to be, but is still rather small. It’s very important to me to keep it fairly portable so that I can work on the road, and if I ever decide to move to a new city I can move it with me. Simplicity and knowing your software is very important to me as well, I’m a firm believer of it’s the carpenter, not the tools.

Specs:

• M-Box2 Mini
• M-Audio KeyRig 49
• MicroKorg
• MacBook
• Reason 3.0
• ProTools 7.0 LE
• Evolution UC-33 Controller (not shown)
• M-Box Micro (not shown)

Note the ghetto computer speakers- these are really just for listening after producing. I normally mix on headphones for the most part, a pair of AKG’s that have absolutely no boost on them. It really helps me get a grasp for the “true” sound of my track, they never lie. I’m really more of a software user when it comes down to it, I write all my automation by hand (tedious, I know), and most of my melodies are done by hand as well. The keyboard is used for chord progressions, and working on other types of music with other producers (one doing a beat, one doing piano work etc). If you have any more questions please post in the comments…

Also if you want to discuss your own home studios, I have made a thread in the message board where you can post pictures or list your own specs: check that out HERE.
