!!!BUILDING YOUR FIRST HOME STUDIO RECORDING RACK!!!
I've done a thread on putting together a rack for your portable rig, so let's talk about building a BIG rack for your home studio. You may be thinking " I don't need that do I?" and honestly, that's up to you. Some people want to spread their gear around the desk a bit. Once you reach a certain point, racking things up is the only way to get your desk back. Let's review....
To RACK or Not To Rack?*Racking up your gear can recover needed desk/work space
*Racking up your gear can make powering and unpowering the gear easier.
*Adding a Uninteruptable power supply can protect all the gear in your rack.
*If you get a rack with casters/wheels, your entire rig is portable for remote recording work.
*It also allows you to protect your gear at home or abroad by letting you close/latch/lock. Just don't leave it in your van while you are getting some food!
PART 1: Buy a Rack!!!!
*These can be found on Ebay or any music supply web site for around $200 and up. I bought one for my home studio specifically. It's not meant to go gigging. It has
1.) 10 Rack units will fit in it.
2.) A mixer will sit on top and angled up.
3.) It has a nice door in back for cables.
4.) BIG casters/wheels.
**** IT WOULD NOT FIT IN MY CAR!!!! I had to rent a truck to get it home!! Take size in to account. It costs about $250 U.S. Here it is.
I"ll add to this thread as I continue the build.
