Anyone that has a home recording workstation area: Did you purchase a certain brand desk or shelving brand that works best for stacking recording gear, (speakers, stereo amp, recorder, etc)? Something you can roll a comfortable chair into and reach everything? Whatcha got?
Thanks,
Dennis

Dennis,
I have an old solid-oak library table that is my project table. It's big, two huge drawers underneath.
My Yamaha can sit here, and the wires and cables go off the back side to a rack. IT is 14 rack-spaces high. has wheels and that fuzzy black carpet. Made by Odyssey. Bought at a Guitar Center about 5 years ago. Was not expensive.
I put my near-field monitors on the table. Either side of the Yamaha mixer/recorder. My rack has a Furman Power strip on top. Then a patchbay, preamps, mic splitter, Lexicon, etc.

Studio Rack
Hi Dennis,
I too am interested in a rack for my new studio. There are a couple on Musicians Friend but they are a little on the spendy side plus they don't exactly fit the need. Im looking at building my own. I found an interesting website. Heres the link:

There are quite a few different designs and it looks like I could get exactly what I want with a little bit of work at quite a bit less money.

I took a door blank (a step up from the cardboard fill hollow core doors. it is a good size. on one end I built a three shelf cab that holds up one end and I used two old lathe turned dining room table legs. the table holds my monitors, screen monitor, keyboard, and all my notes and recording log book.
simple, recycled and inexpensive.
