Dude, I love your desk and setup. Especially that slide-out shelf with your MIDI keyboard controller...I did the same thing with my studio desk, works out great...keeps it out of the way until you need it. Awesome.
Thanks for this, Rob. This is pretty much exactly what I'm attempting to achieve.I have an 88 key controller as well. Yours is the first I've seen with a pullout shelf for the controller. FYI: you may want to put some bass traps in the corners of the room.
How often do you use your 88 keys keyboard, and how did you resolve the weight concern on the sliding shelf? I would want to make sure this is rock solid. Thanks! Great job!
. Looks good! This is actually pretty close to what I’m building. How did you attach the desktop to the rest of the frame, including the keyboard drawer?
BEST. IDEA. EVER... Have a sort of mezzanine slide out desk just above the keyboard drawer where you can fit your computer keyboard and mouse, and then you can fit 2 decks and a mixer on the top...
Love the build, man! Just out of curiosity though, I'm not sure what you meant exactly by how he used the right angle braces vs how you have your shelf plywood go all to the way to the top. It looked as though in both videos you both have the top of the desk sitting directly on the plywood shelves. And just out of curiosity, how sturdy is this design anyways? I plan on using my 46 inch flatscreen as my new computer monitor and I want to make sure it's sturdy as possible.
Great job on your desk, you probably had a wire issue that caused the humming, glad it went away. I'm building a different design, hope it comes out nice like yours.
Rob, I just want to say your video was great help. You did a great job in producing the desk. Now I was wondering if everything you said for dimensions you used, if you can put that in written form. I want to send it to a friend of mine who is going to build mine. This would be highly appreciated!
Great video! What did you use for the keyboard rails (specifically, please)? Have they held up? I'm trying to build the same thing right now and I want to make sure I buy the right rails to support the keyboard and wood. …And the speaker hum might be coming from the reflection off of the mirror.
Keen to know how you constructed the keyboard shelf. You mentioned reinforcing the brackets - can you describe how? Also what wood did you use to prevent it bowing?
Hey there man, nice setup. Just wondering what sort of height/measurements you recommend for the hutch on top, in terms of the racks? Is there a standard size one should aim for? (I notice that your headphone amp, etc, all seem to be level, as if there's an international standard on rack size).
Hi! Great build. What's the height of the hutch from top of the main part of the desk to the under part of the hutch (the height of the panels holding the hutch up)? Thanks!
Regarding the hum, I had this EXACT problem in my last apartment, in fact it was bad enough that my CRT monitor (remember those?) screen would shake. I think there was a motor nearbye for the air conditioning or something my neighbor had on the other side of the wall that projected interference. You might also double check your cable and make sure the ends are screwed tight and the shielding isn't damaged. If all else fails and you can't move the desk switch to balanced or xlr cables.
@chspromusic Thanks man, the laminate flooring is on both the top of the desk and hutch. The laminate flooring was glued down with something called "Liquid Nails", worked great. Also the finish is Cherry, and I bought Cherry stain, they matched well
That is a nice desk and also a nice instructional video. I hope to build one myself, based on your dimensions, this week. So of course I have questions 4 U! What is the length and depth of the sliding shelf that holds your keyboard? How many inches are there from the bottom of your desktop to the top of the sliding keyboard shelf? THANKS, in advance
so what kind of wood do you prefer? and what do you think would be enough to hold? just stuff like speakers and monitor mixer interface not big stuff. I just like to do music here and there so my recording setup is really small and not heavy at all. thanks if you read.
if you don't care about the looks and are going to use paint use 3/4 inch ply are something.. if you want it to be sexy and stain it use 3/4 hard wood ply
The "hum" from your monitor - is it a static humming? If so it is more then likely your internet router or some other form of an electronic intercepting and causing that speaker to hum.
Who's CJD? That's a solid looking desk man, you did a great job. Why did you use hardwood flooring for the surfaces and not formica or laminent? It looks slick. How thick was the hardwood you used and did you apply it to just the surfaces? I'm getting ready to build one and like your design, but need two 12U racks on the bottom sides, which looks easy to modify. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video. Thinking about building one of these soon. And...the hum may have been caused by cable interference, happens to me all the time when I have power cables crossing audio cables.
Hey you were talking about the hum you had out of you left monitor. Well when you showed your desk the first thing i noticed were your cables all bunched up and intertwined. You more than likely have lots of electrical interference between cables and grounding issues. 60hz hum?
Hello, I think your studio desk is pretty awesome & I was wondering if you could possibly share a list of the required materials used. Thanks! I'll be attempting a similar build soon!
hey could you send me a link to where u got everything to build the desk... id like to build my own but id like the desk top a little bit bigger so i could fit a xone 92 on it to mix
hey there, quick question, i already have a desk that will work for adding a hutch to, i really like how yours is set up, mine will be a bit less deep but still have the same construction, i was wondering how tall it is from the top of the desk to the top of the hutch?
question.? did u use like a finsher paint for the wood or flooring like cjd and if it was flooring what kind is best ..? like the ones that snap together.? thanks hope to hear from u soon
if the hutch is 76" wide i would estimate those speaker cones to be 64"+/- apart. you should have made the main table top much deeper because your sweet spot at the apex of the speaker field is way behind you while sitting in a working position, even with the drawer pulled out. The most important to consider in a studio is speaker placement, if you are DIY a desk, before you start, understand the concept of monitoring at a 60 degree triangle. you need to be as far from speaker as they are apart
@leonelgomez Thanks. You can customize the desk for the Motif. My keyboard is 56 Inches long, and about 60 pounds. You just need to get strong drawer slides.
Thinking about building a very similar desk to this- so I have a few questions. What's the width of the two shelves that the desk sits on? Again, probably obvious, but what is the dimension of the keyboard shelf? I'm wondering if it's appropriate to cut the keyboard shelf about 1/4" shorter than the distance between the two shelves, to accomodate for the slider.
***** Also, so your hutch only has usable rackspace in the middle- or have you chosen that? I want my hutch to have usable rackspace in all 4 locations. So, 19 1/8 * 4 = 76.5. With 3/4" spacers (there's 5 of them), my desk would need to be 80.25" wide, with no extra gaps like you have. I wish there was a little more documentation on the exact dimensions you used, but that's just me being greedy : )
Very nice studio, i built a desk for my studio too, but i made a "lite edition" of an omnirax model, the "F2" but is a litle big for my space, maybe i should watched your video before starting to build. A question; can the keyboard desk hold a Motif XS8? that's my keyboard and you must know, is very heavy and so big. Where we can hear your music?. Greetings from Mexico City (sorry about my english i know it's no so good).
@soulessdelu Each one has 8 power outlets in the back and 1 in the front. You plug all your audio equipment and computer into it. It's supposed to clean up the power that goes into your equipment and protect it against power spikes and small common things that over time will damage your equipment. It can take away buzz/hum in your monitors - and also it's nice to just flip 1 switch that turns all your shit off at once.
Question for you. I have almost the same set up as far as monitor size and a 88 key keyboard, i am planning on building a desk in similar size, can you tell me if you have noticed any bowing and how did you support underneath. I'm afraid with all the weight i have on my desk over a period of time it will start to bow. Thanks
Hey I really appreciate your video. I understand that the main desk depth is 27" and the hutch depth is 12". Is the 27" inches from the very front of the desk to the very back of the desk, or just from the front of the desk to the start of the hutch. I think it's the first one, but my wife insists that it's the other way around. Also for those who keep asking, Rob already said in a comment a long time ago that the hutch height is 6.5". Just so everyone knows.
hey, shouldn´t the minitor speakers be on a thingy? i heard the desk itslef can affect the sound especially bass. like shouldn´t they rest on these pad things¿?
@LabRatRecords Hey thanks for the heads up, i didn't even know that controller existed, but I just looked it up on ebay and i couldn't find it, also tried google, couldn't find it anywhere
Hi, just wonderin' how thick the plywood is?? I have a leftover box of laminate and that's about a 1/4 inch so I'm guessing 1/2 inch plywood or fiberboard, not sure which one you used, let me know plz :) also, what is the height of the hutch? Thanks Great Design!!!
A late respons. But the humming sound in your speaker is (most likely), that you have the power from same socket in the wall (or extension), that would be computer and both monitors, this makes the groundsignal jump around. Try putting computer in 1 wallsocket, and the monitors from a different one. Nice build!
what is the length of the space where you put the keyboard what's the length and the wide.. and what's is the length of the middle part cause you gave us the wide dimension which is 17 and 3/4 in. but you forgot to gave us the length of those spaces. thanks bro..
Hi, sorry for asking something you said in the video, but I don't know if I'm deaf or something but i didn't understand when you said the dimensions for the rack I know that is 19in but how much was from wood to wood? just to make space for rack rails. Could you write them for me please! I'm also in the way on making a homemade studio desk and the one you made is great!!
Was disassembly built into the design? If you wanted to move house, how easy would it be to break this down and rebuild it at another location? That's pretty much my number 1 priority in design right now
+Ace Sul He said its held together with carriage bolts because it was too big to just move in to his room as he built it in his basement. So he can take it apart and move it whenever he wants.
With the rest of the dimensions what is the depth of the drawer and the depth of the plywood legs as well as the height of the inner legs and the dimensions of the braces on the bottom of the main desk?
Also what is the hutch height? You have the depth and the width and all of that but you never gave a height, unless I just missed it, in which case sorry!
hey I also have the m-audio profire 2626 and am looking to get that same headphones amp. do you have a video on how you hooked all that up and how its all configured? reason why Im looking to get a headphones amp is because I can't get the second headphones jack to work on the profire while I'm trying to record. Im kinda new at this and would appreciate it if you could help me.
I believe the second headphone jack is connected to the main volume so the main has to be all the wayt up to get volume from the jack.. try a Mackie biknob or nano patch
This desk deserves to be in the middle of the center wall equally distanced from sidewalls... that way your sound and reflections will improve... and the mirror next to left monitor is just wrong... good job on that desk bro...
Hey bro, I am looking to make one of these. Do you have the diminutions and the names and sizes of all the parts written out somewhere? I'd like them to use as a guide line please.
@Robfalcon501 what is the length/depthof the piece with the keyboard on it? can u give me the exact specs of the legs and how to build them piece by piece
Just so you know you shouldnt have your desk in the corner for mixing purposes. You should have it in the center of the wall so you get equal sound on both sides.
@bleakerthanyou2 Thanks man - but yeah I think it's actually something to do with the amplifier because I've plugged it in all over my house and it still will buzz, and I've bought balanced cables twice for it...and a ground loop isolator, nothing worked, I'll probably end up buying a new one or upgrading
Dude, I love your desk and setup. Especially that slide-out shelf with your MIDI keyboard controller...I did the same thing with my studio desk, works out great...keeps it out of the way until you need it. Awesome.

Awesome desk and good inspiration from this to make my own!
That desk is sweet man nice job. I might just try to build one next summer when I'll have some spare time.
How often do you use your 88 keys keyboard, and how did you resolve the weight concern on the sliding shelf? I would want to make sure this is rock solid. Thanks! Great job!
Love the fact that you gave dimensions.
Sweet desk man! Thanks for goin into detail!!!!!!
This is very good...I appreciate you taking the time with the dimensions
Peace
This is a great video. Thanks for posting this.

cool desk. I'm for the 88 keyboard rollout trays. It's a must for keyboardists.

Great job! Is the hutch secured in some way or is it just resting on the desk? Thanks!
Great video! What did you use for the keyboard rails (specifically, please)? Have they held up? I'm trying to build the same thing right now and I want to make sure I buy the right rails to support the keyboard and wood. …And the speaker hum might be coming from the reflection off of the mirror.
Very nice work, bro. I actually like your video more than his (which is also good, no hating!) because you went into all the detail. Thanks!
Great desk man!! one question though..does the keyboard wiggle when you play it? and does it make a lot of noise when wiggling? thankss
Nicely done!
Keen to know how you constructed the keyboard shelf. You mentioned reinforcing the brackets - can you describe how? Also what wood did you use to prevent it bowing?
Hey there man, nice setup. Just wondering what sort of height/measurements you recommend for the hutch on top, in terms of the racks? Is there a standard size one should aim for? (I notice that your headphone amp, etc, all seem to be level, as if there's an international standard on rack size).
Your Studio SUCKZ ....NOT!
In reality Your Studio Is AWSOME hands down The best home set up i have seen in EONS!
Great job KUDOZ Man!
Hi! Great build. What's the height of the hutch from top of the main part of the desk to the under part of the hutch (the height of the panels holding the hutch up)? Thanks!
Cool Video.
I have a Yamaha xs 6 Keyboard and is very heavy!,Do you know how much weight the rollout tray will be able to stand?,thanks.
Regarding the hum, I had this EXACT problem in my last apartment, in fact it was bad enough that my CRT monitor (remember those?) screen would shake.

chris tragedia I think there is a thin 'iron-on' veneer available too....you could cover the cut edges with it, if you want to dress it up a bit.
The "hum" from your monitor - is it a static humming? If so it is more then likely your internet router or some other form of an electronic intercepting and causing that speaker to hum.
Thanks for posting this!
can you build me one
Who's CJD?

Also is your hutch attached to the desk? Great Video by the way!!
Nice video. Thinking about building one of these soon. And...the hum may have been caused by cable interference, happens to me all the time when I have power cables crossing audio cables.
can you send a link in your description of that transport controller on your desktop, is quite interesting and I'm looking into it myself
Hey you were talking about the hum you had out of you left monitor. Well when you showed your desk the first thing i noticed were your cables all bunched up and intertwined. You more than likely have lots of electrical interference between cables and grounding issues. 60hz hum?
Hello, I think your studio desk is pretty awesome & I was wondering if you could possibly share a list of the required materials used. Thanks! I'll be attempting a similar build soon!
way better video than the other one
of your hutch is 76, how'd you compensate for the 3 middle wood bars and the two at the end? wouldn't that make the overall length 76 + 2.5=78.5?
hey could you send me a link to where u got everything to build the desk... id like to build my own but id like the desk top a little bit bigger so i could fit a xone 92 on it to mix
Love the Desk Rob! Been looking for something like this. What is the thickness of the plywood?
So do you have the measurements and demonsions and supplies we need to be able to build this desk cause I would love to have a desk like this
hey there, quick question, i already have a desk that will work for adding a hutch to, i really like how yours is set up, mine will be a bit less deep but still have the same construction, i was wondering how tall it is from the top of the desk to the top of the hutch?
question.? did u use like a finsher paint for the wood or flooring like cjd and if it was flooring what kind is best ..? like the ones that snap together.? thanks hope to hear from u soon
Nice Desk......can you tell me the distance between your hutch and your desk...
and again verry nicely done..
they glide smoothe, when you buy the glides, they all have a max limit of weight they're made for, i made sure mine were strong enough
not bad ! how long did it take you to build this ?
if the hutch is 76" wide i would estimate those speaker cones to be 64"+/- apart. you should have made the main table top much deeper because your sweet spot at the apex of the speaker field is way behind you while sitting in a working position, even with the drawer pulled out.
The most important to consider in a studio is speaker placement, if you are DIY a desk, before you start, understand the concept of monitoring at a 60 degree triangle. you need to be as far from speaker as they are apart
What is the interior dimensions of the shelf for your stuff? Also, where did you get the materials from?
@leonelgomez Thanks. You can customize the desk for the Motif. My keyboard is 56 Inches long, and about 60 pounds. You just need to get strong drawer slides.
I like your table very kool.....!
The shelf under the monitors, are they 3u high? Do you think that's the optimum height or would you make any changes? Thanks
3u is 5 3/4 inchs... if the desk top is 30" high then yes 3u would put the studio monitors at ear height which is important...
Thinking about building a very similar desk to this- so I have a few questions. What's the width of the two shelves that the desk sits on?

@OzBoomBap86 if you have windows 7, the calculator does conversions, if not, just google inches to centimeter converter
Hey how much space did u have to factor in for the sliding shelf brackets in the middle section?
Hey man great video. Can you please tell me the height of the hutch. It's 12x76x?
Very nice studio, i built a desk for my studio too, but i made a "lite edition" of an omnirax model, the "F2" but is a litle big for my space, maybe i should watched your video before starting to build.
A question; can the keyboard desk hold a Motif XS8? that's my keyboard and you must know, is very heavy and so big.
Where we can hear your music?.
Greetings from Mexico City (sorry about my english i know it's no so good).
How high is it from the ground to the keyboard tray?
@soulessdelu Each one has 8 power outlets in the back and 1 in the front. You plug all your audio equipment and computer into it. It's supposed to clean up the power that goes into your equipment and protect it against power spikes and small common things that over time will damage your equipment. It can take away buzz/hum in your monitors - and also it's nice to just flip 1 switch that turns all your shit off at once.
what are the measurments on the frame? specifically the pieces that the carriage bolts go through.
Thanks
Question for you. I have almost the same set up as far as monitor size and a 88 key keyboard, i am planning on building a desk in similar size, can you tell me if you have noticed any bowing and how did you support underneath. I'm afraid with all the weight i have on my desk over a period of time it will start to bow. Thanks
@AndrewHaagMusic pine, yes i stained it a cherry color to match the laminate flooring i put on it
Hey I really appreciate your video. I understand that the main desk depth is 27" and the hutch depth is 12".

can u tell me the name of the HardWood flooring that u buy for this desk !! and can u tell me where can i buy it
hey, shouldn´t the minitor speakers be on a thingy? i heard the desk itslef can affect the sound especially bass. like shouldn´t they rest on these pad things¿?
nice.. and a $30 keyboard.. awesome.
@CjDAudio No worries, thanks for the inspiration.
@LabRatRecords Hey thanks for the heads up, i didn't even know that controller existed, but I just looked it up on ebay and i couldn't find it, also tried google, couldn't find it anywhere
@trynphre i don't understand...you mean how far does it slide, or how low from the main surface?
it's the kind that snaps together, you pick your paint finish and buy packs of it, laminate flooring
you saved my life, but please post the height of the hutch
Hi, just wonderin' how thick the plywood is?? I have a leftover box of laminate and that's about a 1/4 inch so I'm guessing 1/2 inch plywood or fiberboard, not sure which one you used, let me know plz :) also, what is the height of the hutch? Thanks
Great Design!!!
Power conditioner protects your gear I. The event you excessive voltage etc LSAT thing one need is their gear burning up. A must have
A late respons. But the humming sound in your speaker is (most likely), that you have the power from same socket in the wall (or extension), that would be computer and both monitors, this makes the groundsignal jump around. Try putting computer in 1 wallsocket, and the monitors from a different one. Nice build!
Hey rob can I get instructions to build that desk. I'll be good with just a list of all the suplies. Ty
what is the length of the space where you put the keyboard what's the length and the wide.. and what's is the length of the middle part cause you gave us the wide dimension which is 17 and 3/4 in. but you forgot to gave us the length of those spaces. thanks bro..
Anyone know where I can buy the brackets where the rack mounts are?
Hi, sorry for asking something you said in the video, but I don't know if I'm deaf or something but i didn't understand when you said the dimensions for the rack I know that is 19in but how much was from wood to wood? just to make space for rack rails. Could you write them for me please! I'm also in the way on making a homemade studio desk and the one you made is great!!
have you checked for power cords crossing the audio cable for your left side monitor hum?
if you use shity un grounded things yes... his hum is from a bad outlet... in the wall
Was disassembly built into the design? If you wanted to move house, how easy would it be to break this down and rebuild it at another location? That's pretty much my number 1 priority in design right now
+Ace Sul He said its held together with carriage bolts because it was too big to just move in to his room as he built it in his basement. So he can take it apart and move it whenever he wants.
With the rest of the dimensions what is the depth of the drawer and the depth of the plywood legs as well as the height of the inner legs and the dimensions of the braces on the bottom of the main desk?
Also what is the hutch height? You have the depth and the width and all of that but you never gave a height, unless I just missed it, in which case sorry!
I still did not get, which keyboard type is that exactely?
What kind of plywood did you use and did you stain it?
what was the height from the hutch to the top of desk?
hey I also have the m-audio profire 2626 and am looking to get that same headphones amp. do you have a video on how you hooked all that up and how its all configured? reason why Im looking to get a headphones amp is because I can't get the second headphones jack to work on the profire while I'm trying to record. Im kinda new at this and would appreciate it if you could help me.
I believe the second headphone jack is connected to the main volume so the main has to be all the wayt up to get volume from the jack.. try a Mackie biknob or nano patch
This desk deserves to be in the middle of the center wall equally distanced from sidewalls... that way your sound and reflections will improve... and the mirror next to left monitor is just wrong... good job on that desk bro...
hey man what type of wood did you use for the desk?
Hey bro, I am looking to make one of these. Do you have the diminutions and the names and sizes of all the parts written out somewhere? I'd like them to use as a guide line please.
@Robfalcon501 what is the length/depthof the piece with the keyboard on it?
can u give me the exact specs of the legs and how to build them piece by piece
what kind of wood did u use was the top artifical floring
i wanna do my own
can u tell me the equiment that i need and the intruction ?
Just so you know you shouldnt have your desk in the corner for mixing purposes. You should have it in the center of the wall so you get equal sound on both sides.
what kind of display monitors do you have
@RossCreations haha never mind! I must have missed it in the vid. I'm almost done making mine... will post a video when done!
@bleakerthanyou2 Thanks man - but yeah I think it's actually something to do with the amplifier because I've plugged it in all over my house and it still will buzz, and I've bought balanced cables twice for it...and a ground loop isolator, nothing worked, I'll probably end up buying a new one or upgrading
no it was in the new windows movie maker, i didn't realize i had the two clips set at different volumes
what kind of soundcard you usin in your pc?
