Here's my studio. It's a big difference from the days of hardware effects racks, mixers, keyboards and equipment stands.

Hopefully I will be able to post some new pictures soon when I receive my iCurve and Bluetooth-keyboard.

I've always questioned people's confidence in their setups being safe when they have network hubs, a blob of wires, and all sorts of other crap on the floor.

If my surge protector is so much as leaning sideways on the AC adapter plugs I get worried because of the extra strain.. yet there I see a croocked adapter hanging there (leaving the leads exposed) and a bunch of networking things everywhere...

Dude you must really trust your wires lol.

I like my setup to be relatively neat whether it took me a whole 10 minutes to set up or I spent 2 hours making sure it was perfect.
Aloha

Hi Link,

You're probably right!
Anyway - I've had my wires (and a lot worse) like that for many many years, over 20 years I belive.

Nothing bad ever came out of that exept from looking horrible, luckily I just keep things clean and hardly look under the table where the wire's are so it doesn't matter. I like to keep the rest of the areas clean, such as the floor & tables etc...but the reason the wire's are all messed up is because I change hardware so much.

I keep changing hardware ALL the time... I did "bundt/wrap" it up once, but I ended up Cutting-off the wrappers because I constantly had to get some cables over somewhere else, or remove/add new hardware. So much for bundling things up neathly.

OK - I guess I am gonna have to take some snaps of my rat's nest or should I say nests.

We should have a contest and see who has the most power consumption coming from one surge protector

take care all pics posted soon...
