An experiment.
My wife and I have been working from home (office jobs) for over a year now, so we had to dedicate a room upstairs to that. I had my music setup downstairs in a corner of the living room, but it wasn’t very comfortable sitting on the arm of a sofa to use it, plus I only had by 13" MacBook screen to work on.
Got a new 27" monitor for upstairs, for work but also for photography, so I decided to move the Mac and the music setup up there too. I can switch between my work Windows laptop and my MacBook for music/photography. I built a very rough angled shelf for the M:S, M:C and the LaunchKey Mini out of MDF. I think I’ll build a better one out of oak. I’ve a Logitech Craft typing keyboard on the way, which will help with switching between the PC and Mac. I’m interested to see if the dial thing on it is any use in Logic.
The table is very narrow, and I’m sitting in a tight alcove, so there’s not much room, and I’ve had to temporarily sacrifice a Skulpt and a MiniBrute 2 order to fit this much on the desk. Plan is to move house later this year, so hopefully I’ll have a bit more space for a proper desk and full setup then.
Forgot to mention. I didn’t do this before because with all the work setup in that room, there wasn’t enough power sockets for the Mac and the synth setup. But the new monitor delivers power over USB-C to my MacBook, and it has a USB hub, which I’ve got the M:S and M:C powered off using barrel jack to USB cables. The Audfuse is connected directly to the MacBook and running on USB power. The LaunchKey Mini, M:S and M:C are then all connected by USB to the Audiofuse. So I was able to add the Mac, audio interface, both Models and the midi keyboard without using any extra power sockets at all.
