One of my best friends died recently of cancer; he wanted me to have his drums. This got me to redo our studio; I pulled all the equipment out and all the wires, and then redid everything. There are hundreds of wires of all kinds so it was not an easy task to do, I now have drawings of where every one of them goes.
I also go a bunch of new gear. All of the instruments run through the mixing boards into an interface that sends them to the computer to record them. The electronic drums and synthesizers all talk MIDI, a computer language for musical instruments. I can there for play any of them from any other one, but mostly I play virtual instruments that I have using the keys and electronic drums, ones that are software and plug into the studio program on the computer.
I also made the computer table.
Currently we are in the process of balancing out everything, and making sure the computer knows what and where everything is.
I play drums just not well, now I will need to get good at them. My wife is also learning. We both play everything else and sing; I also play harmonica. Soon it will be fun time, so if the house is a rocking don't bother knocking just come on it, as the song goes.
The gray deck on the wooden rack is a video editing unit.
Electronic drums, you can play software drums or use it's sound, best of all you can play on headphones and not drive others crazy.
I only need one more guitar dear!
I have the drums miked out so I can hear how bad I play, or use it to get better. And for friends who can play well.
The things with all the knobs are mixing boards, the audio comes to them and then goes to a unit in that rack to the studio program in the computer.
Looking to the other side of the house, we mostly live on that side, there is a metal door that can close to seal off the sound from both sides of the house.
