I’m not sure a laptop with headphones plus some Korg Nanoseries 2 pieces technically qualify as a studio. I bought a board to put the laptop on that has a cushion attached to the bottom so it’s nice to use in bed. The LED lamp is also part of that board. The headphones I use are AKG K450.
Apart from what can be seen on these photos I also sometimes use my M-Audio Keystation 49e.
Huge benefit: A lot of my more recent songs haven’t been created at home entirely or in parts.
I received those headphones (AKG K450) as a gift and thought they were pretty good for their size, though a bit uncomfortable and too much bass imo. Also, though I looked after them, mine broke - one driver stopped working.
Update on my laptop studio:
I dug up the old stereo in the basement and made an unused drawing board into a makeshift studio. I can nicely move the laptop from this to the setup shown above and back, everything (including sound) is plugged into a USB hub so I can plug and play After some fiddling with the bass and trebble knobs on the amp I got it to sound decent enough to be able to judge a mix on them. Nothing compared to proper monitors but it’s a start.
EDIT: Plugging the USB-Hub into the iPad using the camera connection kit works nicely, too. I can play Animoog, Sunrizer, Nanostudio and the Korg apps with my Keystation and hear it all on the speakers via the USB sound card. However I couldn’t get the nanoKONTROL to register in any app other than the Korg ones (in which however it’s insta-mapped)
Behringer mini FBQ, its cool the way the lights on the sliders flicker to the frequency’s, I only really use it when I’m on the decks, I try to not use it when doing a mix down and referencing stuff.
