Currently going through a bit of a creative dry patch and feeling that I have too much gear already. I love all of it and know that I’ll regret selling any of it so definitely setting out with the intention of buying no gear in 2023. I don’t need the OTO mixer and will only buy the Bro800 if I sell the Deepmind first. Feel confident that I can resist the temptation.

Congrats to y’all who made it the whole year. It was quite tough, but this year I’ve been the most productive I’ve ever been about making tracks

Thanks for this!
This ngny22 influenced everything I purchased.
I bought for the whole year:
1 computer keyboard
1 8 port network switch
1 sound card
1 tool to make prints
1 Doumbek hand drum (as the deal was too good to pass)
I traded 2 synth for same priced synth
(this is apart from food, gas, garage bill and rent and house repair)
No software purchase, no book purchase (I have so many to read anyway)
This has been the year I’ve bought the least amount of stuff in my whole adult life!

Hey! I wondered how you are getting on with this desk? I’m looking for a motorised desk for studio/work usage and this looks pretty great
I like it very much, was easy to assemble, feels sturdy !
It’s really practical and a joy to work with. Only downside is that you have to go with the only color avaliable !

Thanks so much for the feedback! Glad to hear it’s working well. I’m not sure the three tier layout will be ideal for me to work as well as make music but am going to investigate further.
That is exactly my configuration. Working as vfx artist and making music.
Looks like this at the moment, still a bit messy but everything will be wired clean really soon.

That looks pretty sweet, thank you for the pic! Is there enough room to sit with your legs under the desk (due to the keyboard tray) and to still have the keyboard at a good ergonomic typing height?
I’m at 80.6. which means that the bottom desk is just gently touching my upper legs when I’m at correct work distance.
Monitors and typing height are higher than before which is better for neck and helped me cure an off centered elbow pain I was struggling with.
It was a bit odd at first but it felt very natural after a while.
Time to get used to it I guess…

I love it. I wish my desk could hold a keyboard underneeth. That alone is just very convenient. thanks for sharing!
