My loft setup

[Ryan Ruel]

Very nice setup, man!
To solve your F1 problem: Why not to have an additional small desk at hand behind your main DJ booth? It could hold the F1 and future investments (e.g.Maschine^^...). That way you would not destroy your existing DJ booth setup!

I have a maschine Only use it for production though. I'll see how much I use the F1 I guess! I thought about using my little keyboard stand with a table top, which would hold whatever I need temporarily and stow away after.

Well with 16.5 foot ceilings, why NOT put in some club lights It's fun! The laser is a Chauvet GBC. Just one, and it's pretty awesome.

For sound I actually have a 10" sub in the corner off the stereo. That is IT. I had a KRK RP10's subwoofer from my old place, and something about the bass in here, it reverberates like crazy. Huge bass traps in the corner, it sounded ridiculous on the lowest setting, I sold it and upgraded from my previous RP5's to the RP6's. I mean it was really odd, like having a bass bin in your house... maybe the hard concrete floors had a lot to do with that. The system sounds great as is.

As for neighbors, I'm in my mid-30's, so I don't party it up all night. I do a weekly online DJ show from 6-8pm with friends and neighbors over, and the occasional house party, which is more of a lounge atmosphere with appetizers and some nice techy deep music than a raging drunk 18yo party with dubstep. It's really not louder than a stereo at moderate volume unless I crank it.

Congratulations mate!
Love your place and would love to be at a home party in there
In other words you have the house of our dreams where the atmosphere is always lounged by psychedelia, if you did have a heavy day at the office you can always go back to the cave and RELAXX

Next goal of mine : trying to have a similar place!!

Here's some pictures of my current setup in my loft, which I lovingly called "bluedoor" (since all the doors in the building are a very bright blue, and there's a cool little loungey place up in NH called "red door").

Lighting is a bit over the top, but the idea with the LED strips is that they also act as normal lighting as well.

All lights and visuals are controllable via an iPad.
