I just finished a minor overhaul in my studio.

This little adventure included:

• re-arranging the soft Edit Panels of the SmartAV Tango to appear in the extension bay (on the right) which makes it more convenient to us right-handers.
• going back to a single-keyboard layout to allow for easier reach to the music stand.
• placing the primary audio interfaces in better proximity to my monitors to run some very short lengths of cable to the monitors – which reduces the chance for interference/noise to creep into the lines
• Running two DAW (digital audio workstation) computers side-by-side in the “machine room” closet – with the second machine attached to the 22″ LCD monitor that’s mounted on the wall (turned off in this picture)
• re-dressing the Mogami cables that run to each speaker.
• dressing/tying down everything to keep it all relatively neat

Now that everything is relatively neat and clean, I feel like I can get some real work done. All in all – I love the new look and feel. There’s still some stuff to work out, but it feels like a much more in-control creative space, which will help me stay focused on projects and get things done.
