When you Enter your Studio. Whats the first thing you turn on?

Not the light switch or your girlfriend/boyfriend. :slight_smile:

Whats the first switch you head for?

No studio, but the surge protector I strapped to the table leg.

To be a little more serious, usually the 707 now as it takes just a little longer to boot than the Model:Cycles, but sometimes simultaneously.

Moog Model 10, as itā€™s oscillators take an hour or more to stabilize. I do it first thing in the morning, then make my coffee, take a shower, go for a walk. By the time Iā€™m ready, so, too is the Moog.

Depending on what Iā€™m going to do either the Xone db4, or my computer (and then the db4 :P)

Things that record other things. So either a sampler, a field recorder or a computer.

All of it, because there is not much of it anymore.

My ā€˜studioā€™ is just a table with my synths on instead where most people would have a dining table.
Iā€™d love a room I could call a studio

Seems to me that you have one. What you lack is a dining room.

Tbh I donā€™t ā€˜dineā€™ , I just eat food sat on my sofa watching tv.
Dining is posh.

The you go. You have a ā€˜dining sofaā€™ (or ā€œdining kneesā€ if you want to go portable) and a room you donā€™t use for anything else that you can call your studio. It is merely a problem of nomenclature.

I had that once.

Real nasty.

Mixer

Anything that needs time for the oscillators to warm up/stabilise - e.g. Dreadboxes (v1s)

Is that safe for the gear? Or to ask differently, how to make that safe? Iā€˜d love to have a master switch for all of it (rather than going device by device) but Iā€˜m afraid of blowing a switch and/or surges destroying gear upon turning it all on.

I am also clueless here, so any pointer/insight would be great.
