How many other desk options did you go through before you arrived there? I doubt I would have EVER though along the lines of looking at a shop workbench. I burned up Craigslist and found my desk at some warehouse liquidation place. I liked it because it has the ear level monitor stands built onto it. And I think I paid like $75. The downside is that it is an angled table that I assembled in that room and it can never leave that room without taking it apart. I had to be really nice to the carpet installers who normally would require that the room be empty. That Husky workbench is perfect.
Right now my Right Monitor is making some bad noises and going in and out. I am pricing new audio monitors now. The FireHawk FX will not turn on! It is sad to see gear which served me well getting old in age and needing to be scarped! The monitors are the better part of 20 years old, but that Guitar rack is less than 10 years old.
Still time for one more Christmas Present
Final Tour - Not with a Bang but with a wimper! Ended.

thanks for asking.... I agree this workbench has been a great resource. Easy to move from room to room, sturdy and also adjustable to any height sitting or standing. The fact that the 61 keyboard fit like a glove was a deal maker for me. Like you, I looked everywhere. Generally prices were much higher. I spend a lot of time at places like Menards and Home Depot so when I saw this I picked it up. My only regret was I wanted it to be wider. Only now I see a wider one is avialalbe. But with the audio monitors now moved off the desktop it works fine.

I recommend all Genelec audio monitors. High quality and world class equipment.
See? You haven't got everything at all. Not by a long shot. I'm sure the team here can come up with a small list generous list. Only doing my bit to help
BIAB & RB2024 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones
Always a treat to see where the magic happens. Ya, those synths are for you guys who play live. My keyboard playing is reserved for me along and what I chose to record, by necessity!

I had to redo this post because I screwed it up. Here's my room redo. Paint, carpet. Still need to get a blackout curtain for that window and hang the wood strips on the black wall where the guitars will hang.
Regarding the bottom pic, close that storm window! It's getting cold this time of year. It's down about an inch on the top pane (yeah, I know, I'm probably your top pain)
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
You are seeing the screen that was moved out of the way to throw the old carpet out the window into a waiting truck. Where it met a fiery death in a burn pile on what my friend calls "the lower 40". Those are double pane and it's quite nice up there.
How 'bout them bowl games??? Buckeye Nation won, TSUN lost.
Yeah back on topic .. I restored a lot of memories this season, which was very nice for me. Barry & I decided to put all of our old (unreleased) ideas on a website, so we both have them moving forward. Like Dan (OP) I'll do a reveal at a later date, but it sure feels good to remember all the stuff I've done over the years (many days I am still a MusicStudent too)

Eddie, just thinking about the Gateway computer mouse mat; aren't the cow dots getting a little brown? (comment made for those that's never seen a Gateway mouse mat)
Realistically speaking, don't scrap anything! There are loads of people like me who would be happy to take your broken gear and try to get it working again.
I have already promised to box up a bunch of old gear and send to a forum member. And I do plan on doing that some day....
Excellent! I just think it's important to keep things out of the trash as long as possible.
Also, I didn't notice before, but that Husky bench looks awesome! I might have to replace my trusty old desk - it'd be really nice to have the adjustable height and wheels, let alone the keyboard tray (which my 88-key Yamaha won't fit into sadly).
...in a cover of Elvis Costello's "She" that I worked on all day today.
Elvis Costello's "She"? Charles Aznavour wrote that song. I know Elvis sang it, as did man singers, but writing props is writing props...
"When I fall under a bus, they'll play She, Good Year for the Roses and Oliver's Army. I'll die, and they will celebrate my death with two songs I didn't write. What does that tell you?" — Elvis Costello
At my memorial service I have designated 5 songs be played at specific times. 3 I did not write, the last being a cover of Sarah McLachlin's "Angel" as done by someone I used to be wildly crazy about who sadly is now among the people to whom I don't speak. Beautiful song, done by a beautiful singer both times.
The only reason any of that matters to me is that I am such a major music nerd. I believe that people in general should do research about songs they like. When I think that there are people out there who still think The Monkees wrote "I'm A Believer" it makes me sad. And how much stuff Led Zepplin fans don't yet know they stole from old blues artists I won't even get into.
I believe that people in general should do research about songs they like.
Once I did a cover collaboration with someone who uploaded the song to a site and credited the original singer, not the songwriter, as the author. When I asked if she could update the post with the songwriter's name, she took offense and deleted the song.
I think she was offended by the trivality, in her eyes, of the request.
