hi everyone 
thoa, i bought the "desk" used from a kind gentleman here. it's a quiklok stand...but i can't remember the exact model number...it is a semi-customizable one where you can buy extra joints, parts (for ex: for the 2 speakers you see, or the top centre rack holding the monitor).
digihub and iansoh, it's the earliest model i believe...i bought it from during a work trip to san francisco i think in '98...still going strong after all these years
bongman, yea, i noticed yours was an EX7 after posting and you even added a 5R!! cool! for me, i was shopping for a used master keyboard last year and the EX5 came up...i was curious about its multiple synthesis engines (which the later models either dropped or turned into options) and found one very reasonably priced at ishibashi. ex5tech was definitely a contributing factor to my decision!

u guys have some amazing studios. im just starting out on home recording. im planning to get a EMU 0404 USB and currently im only working with a guitar and a mic. how do u ensure proper sound proofing? does the curtains have to be really very thick? and do u all keep ur room permanently ar conditioned? cos my room faces main road which makes it noisy and dusty.
THOA

Where did you get the extra parts from then? From the same person you purchased it from? How much did it cost you?

If you look closely at my photos, i'm actually using an Emu 0404 USB for my recording via a mixer. Short of hiring professionals i think it's hard to say if you can really do "proper" sound proofing but i guess every little bit helps. I'm using 2 layers of curtains, 1 is a thick PVC-like blackout curtain, the other is a thick velvet. I've also got them setup to cover the doors. Makes quite a lot of difference (cuts out a lot of mid to high frequency sounds).

Should be a good insulator i suppose. So if the room is hot, it'll stay hot, if it's cool it'll stay cool. Cost wise i'm not very sure cos my dad is in the curtain biz so mine were basically free.
