There is tons more that I would love to have .. but this is just what came to mind today at work.

Been busy

So I finally got all my gear, minus the DJ equipment, to my parents house. They gave me a room to setup as a studio. I started this project 3 weeks ago and helped my dad empty out the room and start to prep the walls for paint. Last weekend I went to Lowe's and bought some dark gray flat paint and started rolling. It really darkened the room, this is what I wanted to achieve, and now its time for some cool mood lighting. I want to make a calm workplace with minimal distractions. My father is a great guitar player but has a very busy schedule and needs a place where he can just walk in and play.

I moved my desk in and started assembling my 3 tier keyboard stand. I bought a small rolling cart for my Akai MPC-2000 but I'm not sure if its going to be sturdy enough for it. I have 3 more keyboards that need a place to sit but I'm sure with time we will find a place for them. I will post some pictures of the room as soon as I can.
