Mike Kraze's Offcial Set up Renovation / Production Friendly

Mike Kraze’s Offcial Set up Renovation / Production Friendly

Well as stated in the title I needed a more production friendly set up to make it more convenient for production as I spend hours upon hours on Ableton. With my old set up there was so much wire and midi routing going on that it was hard to keep up with the many change I would make as I dabble in many different genres and each requires a certain set up of things.

If you have any questions feel free to ask, now on to the pics:

Sorry about the crappy iPad Air photos, enjoy :smiley:

Is that a DJM600 i see there? Very impressive. Wish i had that kind of space to set up in :slight_smile:

Thanks bro! It’s actually the Behringer DJX700, it’s basically a knock off of the DJM600, I love it.

v2lab huh, Simply clean huh, sup Florida brah!

Haha, yeah, you’re down here I take it?

Grooveboxes… Grooveboxes… Grooveboxes… :wink:

yes!

It ain’t a decent studio without a lava lamp, leather couch and some booze :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

lol…ain’t that the truth. I spin better when my lava lamp is on.

Actually…the recording classes I’ve taken, the professor was vehement about that part…that it didn’t matter if you were running HD3 and had a collection of fully tuned rooms and an API console just for the drum bus…if you didn’t have a lava lamp, it wasn’t a real studio.

I have yet to be in a pro studio that didn’t have at least one. The one I worked at for a while, turning it on was on the checklist of things to do before an artist came in (we had one in each control room).

There are some that disagree, and state ferns are where it’s at. :wink:

proper. :slight_smile:

LOL this guy knows what’s up

I love the atmosphere the glow from a lava lamp brings to a room, when I get my GoPro I’ll take a night shot.

Damn, now I want ferns in my room, this room could use some life.

By the way here is my newest track if you guys would like to listen to a chill tune:

Need some new ferns in my studio as well. :wink:

Listened to the track, love the oldschool vibe though I’m not that big of a fan of Lana’s vocals on this one.

It’s not one of my favs but for some reason I just kept getting drawn to the lyrics when I was working on the song lol

I have a fake plant chilling in my room/ studio. It adds a nice touch to the space. :sunglasses:

Here’s another angle taken on my buddies GoPro last night
