I’ve had this setup for about a year now. I’m new and not very good at all but I’m learning every time I turn the gear on. My setup is located in my unfinished basement. I created an L-shaped booth out of plywood and it works great for now. I made it extra long to accomodate my friends’ gear when they stop by to jam. I have plans to finish the basement in about a year from now if the funds work out.
I like to DJ and make beatstrumentals. Here’s the link to my soundcloud page -

Ah but I’d need the space for it too I’m happy with my Ikea desk for now. It’ll be much better when I have it facing into the room and I’m not playing to the wall.
As promised, here are some pics showing the development of the booth. It’s a quick and dirty setup to go with the unfinished basement.
The front of the booth has a 12" Christmas LED rope light tucked under the lip. The lights under the shelf (facing the equipment) are DIODER strip lights from IKEA (Shop Quality & Affordable Products - IKEA CA)
