Hey, I'm Rory. Just got my gear working fully today.
Very very basic, but I'm so excited about it.
MacBook Pro (15", 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM)
Alesis iO14 Firewire interface (Thanks slavedave!)
Shure SM58
Behringer XM8500
Sennheiser HD465 headphones
Altec Lansing speakers salvaged from an old Dell computer
I use GarageBand and a little Pure Data, and I'm very interested in getting Ableton when I have some money together. I have a Roland EP-7 keyboard that I'll use as a MIDI controller when I get some MIDI cables.
I think some monitors, a condenser or two, and a Korg Nanokontrol will have me set up rather nicely for a while. At the moment, I record drums, bass, guitars, vocals, and a little musical saw on my own, and I'd like to start indulging my Autechre/Aphex Twin/Radiohead/DJ Shadow ideas when I can get Ableton. I'm listening to a lot more electronic/sampled/DSP stuff than anything else at the moment.
Here's a little demo I did to test my gear if you're so inclined;

Horrible drum sound. That's the first thing I want to learn.
...Room could do with a tidy...... :pac:0 -

Hey all,
My name's Anthony. I play guitar and "sing" in Stanton's Grave (a punk band), and about 2 years ago my wife and I bought our first house, so I decided to turn the garage into a studio to record our music.
It's still a work in progress - I've made it my goal to get some treatment done before spending any more money on mics, pres, or any other gear
I put together a PC last year (I had been using a laptop) to run Cubase 3, and I've got an Alesis io26 interface.
Up 'til recently I used EZDrummer to program all the drums on my tracks and played all the instruments myself, but in November I finally recorded the full band, including the drums.

Hi guys,
Carl "Calle" Corneliusson here. Just wanted to introduce myself and what I do. I'm Swedish and moved to Dublin in 2001. I've always been involved with music, either playing or producing, but never worked with it full-time. There always seemed to be better paid jobs in a different field
I guess I kept the dream/magic alive by keeping it as a hobby. I still write, still play, still produce as much as a can. For the last 4 years I've built up a home recording studio to a level where I want it to be. It's in Roundwood, Co Wicklow and I couldn't think of a nicer environment to be creative in (..I know, we DO get snowed in occasionally) I still haven't made up my mind if I want to turn it in to a commercial facility, we'll see. To begin with I'm interested in building up a network of contacts/bands/other fellow engineers and producers. In order to kick this off I've decided to see if I could find a singer/songwriter to work with to try out the new setup/the room etc. This would be an opportunity for someone to get some free quality studio time. If you know someone good, let me know and let's see what happens...
Cheers
Calle

You're so right Paul. The Tannoys can't be recommended for mixing. I recently sold my pair of Genelec 8040's (sound great, but never worked for me mixing. Have a lot of friends who love them) Stuck with the reveals for now and they were given to me to try out when they came out so eventually I got used to them and know how to mix through them. I'm looking for a replacement for the Genelecs though and have my eyes on models from Dynaudio and Barefoot (ouch pricey...but VERY good) Problem as always is to get to compare in a proper environment, side by side
The Sony DMX...love it. It's small, enough channels, insert aux sends and returns. Sony Eqs/compressors/gates on every channel..touch faders and automation. Great desk...until it breaks down and Sony don't support it any longer...Hmmm. Cross that bridge later. Should probably buy a second one for backup..they are cheap as chips used at the moment. Does it sound good? It really does, but do I really know mixing through those horrible Tannoys
Hope to see you on plug-in day.
Cheers

Welcome aboard Calle,
that's a lovely looking set up you have there for a home studio, I'm very envious.0 -
Yo guys!! so to introduce myself..
in June 2009 i was introduced to the Bloody Beetroots.I was thrown into the deep end of the mysterious swimming pool of Electronic Music... i then turned onto Mstrkrft, Kraftwerk, Deadmau5, Calvin Harris, Boys noize to name but a few.. I then became really interested in how all of this music is made.. it helps that both of my parents a music parents! so i got a Hercules DJ Control MP3 Controller.. i started mixing around with that , which led me to my first "gig" djing for 14/15 year olds Christmas 09.. and i have recently purchased the M-Audio Oxygen 25 MIDI Controller...

what's up, im living in limerick, been trying my hands at production for around 3 years but not as consistantly as i would wish for (work, life in general)
but have been into djing and all since i was around 14
very open minded to most genres of music (emo, c'mon like), but my heart'll always be more into the electronic side of things, since i was basically reared on it....mainly progressive house and trance (sasha/digweed) in the early days...but yeah i listen to all sorts
i tend to make a lot of mellow stuff, trip hop with my own tracks...but i hope to get a lot more experimental, which i think i lack in my structure of creating most of my tracks
i hope some of ye get a chance to check some stuff out, as i think criticism from a stranger is a lot more reliable than criticism from a friend
so yeah, ill be checkin a lot ye're stuff out on here too of course

Hey Guys,
I'm french and i leave near Limerick since 2006. I left France where i use to DJ an awfull lot, in club and in Rave party. I use to play guitar in an Hardcore band called DTF(http://www.myspace.com/dtfhxc), after being in bands from punk rock to Electro Dub.
I don't play much as much guitar theses days, but i still play bass from time to time, some blues on guitar and I own an indian sitar as well - not really good at it, but amazing sound.
From the moment i came in ireland, i start DJing less and less, but played once in the Trinity rooms in Limerick - i mostly play in house partys...
I have started producing by myself a year and a half ago, and experimented with a lot of different gear.
I have settled on a Roland SH-101, a tenori on, a launchpad, an ipad with LiveKontrol, and a TR-606 - and a mac with ableton
My DJ gears are a Xone62, a technic SL1200, a Numark TTX and a Traktor Kontrol X1.
I've tryed to DJ CD's but it's not for me. I like Vynil a lot, but don't buy any anymore
started posted tracks on soundcloud something like yesterday !0 -

History
Originally 12 years in various bands (original rock, rock covers, wedding covers good, wedding covers bad, jazz, big band) on bass and drums. A lot of the time in more than one band at a time. Burnt out at 30 and took a break. Took up acoustic and electric guitar seriously for a change.
Discovered computer based recording 6 years ago and off I went. 100+ tracks later and still going strong aside from a 5 month old baby enforcing a hiatus. Composing any kind of music that comes out of the ether. Fan of rock, electronic and acoustic. There are no rules only passion.
Current setup.
iMac 21" running Logic Pro 8 for production and Tracktion 3 for sketching and FourTrack on the iPhone for doodling.
Line 6 UX2 sound card, gtr and mic input
M-Audio Keyboard thingy
Alesis nearfield monitors
Mexican strat
Korean strat
Brand X bass
Ugo semi acoustic nylon
Washburn acoustic
a wonderfully patient and encouraging wife
mics and stand etc
Don't need anything else except inspiration, time and space.
The wonderfully patient and encouraging wife is the best part of your set up Welcome aboard.

Alright Lads?!
Been recording for a year. Bought Logic 9 in January 09 and fumbled my way through it up until now. I started a new band back then and there is only two of us so i needed to record backing tracks for our gigs and then ended up recording all our tracks for release 'cause we're broke. Still not great at it. Have taken a bit of a break over the last 2 months as mixing has completely wrecked my head but i'm goin to have to get back into it now
. Setup is as follows:
Macbook 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo
4gb Ram
Logic Pro Studio 9
Line 6 Studio KB37 for interface and Midi Controller
Tannoy Reveal 6 monitors
Phillips FA950 Amp
Reason (Line 6 Version)
Ableton Live (Line 6 Version)

Hey all, I'm Mike!
I'm 22, from Limerick! I've been playing in bands for years, with Supermodel Twins & Windings these days. I've had an interest in engineering and production since I started playing in bands, and I just taught myself along the way. I've done some live sound and basic home recording down through the years. Currently, I'm a student at LIT, just finished 1st year of Music Technology & Production, and over the last year, I've gathered a nice little collection of gear, basic enough, but it does the trick Doing a bit of work experience this summer in a studio at home too!
Here's what I'm wreckin:
Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo/8GB Ram
Presonus Firestudio Project
Tascam US122L (Use this live with Mainstage 2)
KRK RP5 Rokit G2's
MILLENIUM HP 4
3TB G|DRIVE HD
Korg nanoKontrol
M-Audio Oxygen 61 (2nd gen)
Akai LPK 25
19" External Monitor (An awful heap of junk, but it works!)
Pro Tools 9
Logic Studio 9
Cubase LE4
Ableton Live 8
A Mad Amount Of Plugins
A few cheapy Condensers, Ribbons & Dynamics (they do the trick!)
BLUE Bluebird - (Pride and Joy!)
2 x SM57
....and all the bits that go with all the above!
A few various guitar & bass amps, various stomp boxes, and a few nice guitars!
Looking forward to learning some stuff here! Cheers lads!0 -
I’ve just twigged I haven’t introduced myself here, so,
this is my little set-up, where I like to let loose on, loose myself when I have the time to sit down after jumping off the mouse wheel of an evening. I’d done a city&guilds in audio engineering in the early 90’s. Got the bug then for sequencing and the idea of using a computer to record music, it was Atari ST’s and Cubase back then, how things have moved on since then. Anyways I’m plugging away on my own stuff (for the want of better words). Hopefully someday soon it will be fit for people to hear it.
MacBook Pro 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8gb of ram
Cubase 5
MOTU 828 Mk2 Usb for Audio and Micro Lite for MIDI
Yamaha CP300 Stage Piano
Yamaha Motif XS Rack
East West Complete Composers Collection containing: Symphonic Orchestra Gold, Pianos Gold, Symphonic Choirs, Ra, Goliath, Stormdrum2 & Voices of Passion
DT100 Headphones
Cheap amp and speakers – (to be updated as soon as I can raise the money)
&
Instruments that don’t need electricity or computer
- Selmer Tenor Saxophone
- Yanagisawa Soprano Saxophone:D 0 -

Hi all, Dave here. Trying to set up a little business in the ol' music industry. Our studio name is Licks Home Recording Studio and we are based in Dublin. We do recording, mastering and producing for all types of music.
Me and my partners have been playing music since we were very young, from guitar, bass, keyboard, piano, to drums. And we have been recording and producing music for quite some time now. Only recently have we decided to do it professionally - as in, make a business of it! We'll see how it goes eh?!
