    I am looking forward to checking out your new desk. I totally agree that the integrated cable management is paramount. I just ordered a sit/stand desk with a 1 3/4 " walnut desk top. I will buy some walnut to build shelf for the gear and monitor and a pocket for the back of the desk for containing cables, power strips, etc. Good luck with the desk.

    I'm a working musician/Composer A year ago work fell thru the floor. Now it is starting to pickup as so many have quit the business and moved on. I've been at it a long time. And I'm kinda picky now so I don't take every offer. Shortly there is going to be a situation where a lot of the middling talent is moved out to pasture and the production side of the industry gets a lot leaner. And yes gear prices have been just stupid. I cleaned out my gear locker last year as I saw this coming. I felt good to de-clutter anyway. Cheers.

  • @h3lio5
    @h3lio5 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Excited to see your desk. I would say it’s not impossible to do inexpensive and good. I had an Argosy Halo for years until I blew out a disc in my back, now I have to alternate sit/standing. I built myself a new desk out of a single 4x8 sheet of plywood and put it on some heavy duty electric legs. Wish I had a CNC though, I achieved precision using templates and a router, so it took a bit.

    Building your own opens up so many options and it can be done at a reasonable cost. Even with premium materials you can keep it well under $1k and get a killer desk customized for you. Plus weight equals stability, and when you build your own weight isn’t nearly as big of a factor

    Hi Barry!
    Truth be told, I NEVER get bored watching your videos. And it will be interesting to see what you’ve come up with when you’re finished.
    Personally, I’ve been using large-format consoles (like the Brits, you call ‘em “desks”, but to me they’ve always been “consoles”) since 1968, and the Trident 32-8 I’ve got now, I’ve been using for about 8 years. How can I get away with that? Simple. IT’S ANALOG! And the output signals are VERY clean. Once I’ve got an acceptable mix, the L&R outputs are digitized, currently with an Apogee D-A converter. How does it sound? MAGNIFICENT!!
    Anyway, I can’t wait to see what you come up with, along with your new CNC machine. Good luck!
    Ed

      @@BarryJohns I honestly think that prices going down might be a boon for sales. I have two vintage synthesizers that were worth $6-7K ten years ago that both sell for $25k today. Stupid money. Beyond inflation even. I couldn't afford those today and most other people couldn't either. I am hoping that as prices drop I might be able to move more gear. Of course, if the economy keeps going, as it has been, none of what I said above may happen.

    @frankpaws Před 2 měsíci +2

    Oh yeah. I've wired recording studios and post production studios. Cable management is the biggest deal. I came in a Chief to a studio that put in 2 new System 5s and they had 100 foot MADI runs for 6 feet. No labels. Didn't know what was going where.
    I wrote up a plan for each room, shut the studios down for 3 days and rewired the entire thing with the staff but only brought B online as we were able to test that first.
    A wasn't online yet, so there was still sometime. Cable ties are your friend. So is a brother label maker.

    I agree gear prices have been insane lately but I have noticed price drops on Reverb as the good times have come to an end. I recently picked up a API 527 for $650 and a Neve 535 for $725 in the same week.
    I too built my own desk, but did not quite address cable management, so if I do it over, I would definitely modify my plans. It was my first time so you learn what went sideways as you gain experience.

    This could be good advice for liquid assets, but it is just so hard to move used gear. Once its off the shelf its 40% off immediately even if its in excellent condition. Then the amount of trolls, dead ends, bots, ghosts, no shows and low ballers to sift through out there is absolute insanity. Its always easier to buy, but then you pay a premium and you gotta pay the tax man. I try not to get too stressed about market cycles when it comes to gear. My policy is if aint gonna get used sell it, if it is gonna get used keep it or buy it.
