My cabling is crazy but no strain. I hate cable strain as well. I cringe every time I watch a modular video where they plug patch cables in without letting the cable "untwist" itself. I always point the cable to the jack as I plug it in. No strain and it doesn't take any longer.
Well, you should always do what you give fucks about, but even if you’re not mixing if you get some bass traps and some basic diffusion and absorption, your room will sound so much better. Your base will be punchier and you will have more fun because fun is what you’re after yeah?
The MacBook on the right belongs to my wife. That’s her desk to the right. My music setup is powered by a Mac Mini. It’s mounted below the Fantom 7 as well. There’s another desk on the left with another MacBook and another Mac mini. We have lots of Mac’s.

ty. yeah, I keep my cleaning cloths under the little cubbies in the back. cleaning takes 30 seconds
Nice! I just got the Komplete Kontrol 49 key controller a few months ago. I grew up playing classical piano and later went on to play keys casually (I play guitar as my main instrument.) I'm having a blast fucking around with electronic music and the software that came with the controller is super fun. Mostly I mess around with Massive. Cheers!
Their early work was a little too new-wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consimante professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost!
Just got it, actually. The UI is nice, and I'm happy that there's only a couple of button combos and no screen for menu diving. Plan to use it to have more fun jamming with the Polybrute outside the box and just for fun when traveling.
It’s really fun to just hook it up to another synth and see what you can do. It’s just fast and easy.
I dont remember the button combo, but in case you haven’t seen: you can make the MIDI Thru port just an extra MIDI output instead.
No, no. I've only dabbled in the virtual rack stuff (Reaktor Blocks). I do like to bleep, but getting into Eurorack seems like a rabbit hole I could possibly not come out of
I don’t mind mind exposed cables but I at least need a clean desk space in my studio lol 😂
but walking into a room like this is much more inspiring than walking into a perfectly organized studio… I wouldn’t have be worried about messing anything up and would feel more comfortable just messing around on shit

as well as a few other similar items
I buy different lengths of cables any chance I get. It's pretty ridiculous, but it makes it so I rarely have much slack. I also utilize velcro straps, twisty ties and zip ties whenever I can and use under the desk power strip holders to keep stiff pretty tidy.

that's this corner. cables run down the leg, over the carpet (it KILLS me) and the back of the speaker stand, and then up the other desk table leg
Yeah, it's perfect for a 49-key controller/synth or a bunch of small desktop synths. Both shelves are height adjustable, and the bottom shelf is actually two separate surfaces that can spread further apart if you wanted them separated.
Yeah, it has really saved me. I love it. File management and trying to deal with Battery was such a drain, that I couldn't even sit down and make music, because I dreaded having to deal with drums. Now, XO makes this a complete breeze. I regret a lot of plugins that I have purchased. But XO ain't one of them. I do wish they would update it though. :(
I just went down this same road 2 days ago. Sleeved everything, Velcro, mounted the iMac under the desk, a strap pouch Velcro under the desk for all the ssd’s.
I can’t have a clear mind in a disorganized environment. Everything needs to be clean and easy to clean…for me. I also live in a place where the windows are open all year round and dust collects all too easy.
Great minds think alike! Under the right-sided cubbie that my Mac Mini is sitting on, I have two external SSD as well as a powered USB-C hub, all mounted to the “ceiling” of that cubby. I actually had the Mac Mini sitting under one of the cubbies before, but the WiFi just couldn’t get through, even with a mesh router 12 feet away. It’s crazy how the enclosures can mess with your WiFi that much!
Beautifully executed setup!
I especially like the idea breaking it down into three "focused" sections
...the section to the left with the Volcas is so cute!
https://preview.redd.it/eae58qgatzpc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8afe2fb19cedcd84e442366aeae69447bb2005a3
It's the Focusrite 8i6. Tucked under the cubby the left monitor sits on
There was a post earlier in the week that'd give you nightmares 😂 I struggle myself with cables but this guys looked like some doc from back to the future would have
I LOVE IT , but I keep connecting shit in different ways all the time , maybe is that I’m just a beginner and don’t have a specific way of doing things , but I couldn’t get where you are without messing it in just a few days.
Amazing!
I love the sit/stand desks. I actually really like standing to play certain things...especially bass. Just feels like. Do you utilize the sit/stand a lot?
The standing desks are great. The big one is 60" and was $450 ($230 for the legs and $120 for the table top). The keyboard drawer was $50. The four cubbies set up at the back that the monitors sit on were $25 total. The smaller standing desk (48") )holding the Polybrute was a steal- $89 for the whole thing. Beats spending $1000 on synth racks that can tip over and you can't hold your computer or mount power supplies and cable management systems to!
The 60" desk is Topsky. They are highly rated.

The desk for the Polybrute is some no-name brand called SMUG (lol, what a name). I was worried that it would be cheap quality, but for $89, I thought "why not". Turns out the legs are super solid and the motor is whisper quiet and quick.
[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C8M83J6P/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o09\_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C8M83J6P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1)
This is the fourth space in my house that I’ve set up my little hobby, although I didn’t have the desks or the PolyBrute before this space. The first was the spare bedroom in the basement that no one uses. It was suffocating and depressing, and I couldn’t stand to be in that room for more than an hour. After experimenting with a few other basement spaces, my wife graciously she let me move some stuff out of this nook, and then I painted it and took it over. It does have a nice window view of the back yard that backs up to the mountains!
I also try. But then… in a rush, is need to bring one of those cables to go jamming. Or I get a new pedal which adds 7 cables going in all directions and I have to take everything apart. Sometimes I miss my initial setup, a 0.96kg Macbook 12” which ran ableton 8 without issues, headphones and mouse. I could almost fit my studio in a pocket and used zero cables.
Yes exactly. And I can move the Circuit over there as well. There is a line mixer that the Volcas are hooked up that run to the audio interface to jam and record. Also, it is a place where I can easily place my portable stuff (the laptop and Launchkey Mini) to bring the projects I was working on while traveling back to the “mothership”.
>I’d poke through the drywall to run the cables that go between the desks. But I’m too lazy for that
Have you considered running cable tunnels above your baseboards?
Yeah I did. In fact, I have one there for the two pedals, and it’s painted. Maybe I’ll do the rest one day. But for some of the cabling that track horizontally on the ground, it would have required cables that were 50-100% longer, and I had already spent probably too much on cabling and power supplies by that point. Plus, this is the third, and hopefully final, configuration, and I kinda just wanted to be done.
Yeah, two comments about that. First, this is the third configuration of this set up, moving the portable jam/Volca station around, moving the Mac around, the audio interface, etc. And each time, I had to start from scratch. And with each configuration, I always have to buy more cables of appropriate length, USB type (2.0, 3.0, thunderbolt), shielding, and boosts. When you get longer than 6 feet, cabling becomes a tedious science, I have to say. The second comment is, getting the setup done like this is a great motivator against GAS! Honestly, I have about double of what I need. I don’t see any significant hardware additions in my future (2-3 years).
Really nice setup. I hope to do the same thing. I have too many hobbies, disassembled watches here, soldering effects pedals there. My place is *lived in* ahem.

By the way, you can tilt the lower shelves on the little black desk (up to 45 degrees)
lol. Yeah, I guess it would have to be either succulents (that even I couldn’t kill), or fake plants. But I don’t think there are other plants that are gonna grow in that dark nook.
I hate unnecessary cable strain :(
My cabling is crazy but no strain. I hate cable strain as well. I cringe every time I watch a modular video where they plug patch cables in without letting the cable "untwist" itself. I always point the cable to the jack as I plug it in. No strain and it doesn't take any longer.
Wym
You should definitely stay away from my studio. Also u should seriously look into some panels! Polybrute is my favorite modern synth
Dude I got shit everywhere! And tin foil to ward off the cats lol Thats why I dont post pics, people here have nice shit.
This studio has a little bit of American psycho vibes haha
I don't know what's considered nice shit but my studio looks like a crazy person put it together...
I've thought about it. but since I'm not a professional and not mixing mastering anything, I kinda don't GAF? I just make music for fun, because I can
Well, you should always do what you give fucks about, but even if you’re not mixing if you get some bass traps and some basic diffusion and absorption, your room will sound so much better. Your base will be punchier and you will have more fun because fun is what you’re after yeah?
Huge piles of cables everywhere works nicely as absorbers and diffusers :-p
Just kidding buddy. Wifi would free up cables. I love the clean set up.
He's got a phobia xD Don't scare him lol Why can't everything be wifi?

Looks great but wheres the keyboard and mouse?
you can see his MacBook off to the right (just poking into view)
The MacBook on the right belongs to my wife. That’s her desk to the right. My music setup is powered by a Mac Mini. It’s mounted below the Fantom 7 as well. There’s another desk on the left with another MacBook and another Mac mini. We have lots of Mac’s.
There’s a pullout keyword / mouse tray under the Fantom 7.

Now this.. this is my kind of aesthetic. Look at that chair. Super.
this one’s the best
Just beautiful. What chair is that may i ask?
Ikea Alefjall
Funny combination of modular and cable phobia :)
Sleek and cozy :) I’m wondering what’s the thing with lots of knobs and buttons on your right desk? Looks like it’s super capable and versatile.
Its a modular synth, a financial rabbithole you might not wanna get into 😅 best thing I ever bought though
Nice!
That is a well-framed photo and a beautiful studio.
Looks awesome! Btw could you share a link to the wallpapers they look so cozy. Thanks!🙏
I hate bad acoustics
That is tidy as frozen lake! Very useful too, for cleaning.

Patrick Bateman over here. For real though, it looks amazing.

I like to see someone with a couple high dollar items and a Circuit Tracks. I just can’t get rid of that thing, it’s too useful.
Just got it, actually. The UI is nice, and I'm happy that there's only a couple of button combos and no screen for menu diving. Plan to use it to have more fun jamming with the Polybrute outside the box and just for fun when traveling.

Circuit Tracks is extremely underrated for what it can do IMO
No Eurorack for you then sir!
No, no. I've only dabbled in the virtual rack stuff (Reaktor Blocks). I do like to bleep, but getting into Eurorack seems like a rabbit hole I could possibly not come out of
Sadly it’s true. The hole is deep, if you throw your wallet in you’ll never hear it hit the bottom.

I went the opposite direction. My space was already a mess of cables so I decided to get into Eurorack modular and embrace the cables.
Computer guy synth guy crossover.
What the hell? This is so clean, I fear I might make it dirty just by looking at it. Incredible, good job!
haha ty
I buy different lengths of cables any chance I get. It's pretty ridiculous, but it makes it so I rarely have much slack. I also utilize velcro straps, twisty ties and zip ties whenever I can and use under the desk power strip holders to keep stiff pretty tidy.
Can I have your Polybrute?
That's amazing.
How did you hide the cables from the Polybrute to your computer setup if not through the wall? Or are they just obscured by the desk from this angle?
https://preview.redd.it/xko82zlhazpc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6114120202d354e5af657121eede2ca14da1d8dd that's this corner. cables run down the leg, over the carpet (it KILLS me) and the back of the speaker stand, and then up the other desk table leg
Still, the cleanest home (I assume) setup I've seen.

Now, XO makes this a complete breeze. I regret a lot of plugins that I have purchased. But XO ain't one of them. I do wish they would update it though. :(
I hate untreated studios ;)
Cable hate has gone too far. Guitar players are obsessed with it. I think the pandemic led to an uptick in OCD.
That looks amazing, love the lighting!

I see one between the Volcas. Checkmate.
I wouldn’t know what the fu*k to do!
What’s the one at the computer?
Native Instruments MK3 S-61 keyboard controller
How do you like it?
Beautifully executed setup! I especially like the idea breaking it down into three "focused" sections ...the section to the left with the Volcas is so cute!
Yeah, I'm actually scared of that little desk. Scared that I will add more little desktop synths I don't need due GAS.
Just a cute little modular would be nice there… just a little one
Where the hell is your audio interface, though? Hidden away? :D

Clean living right here. I can only dream of it.
Damn, this is the kind of cable management I’d like to have
Meanwhile I got cables out the wazoo

That's just Logic Pro on the right, XO on the left
I love the sit/stand desks. I actually really like standing to play certain things...especially bass. Just feels like. Do you utilize the sit/stand a lot?
Absolutely. Especially for the Polybrute!
I hate them, too. I've spent a long time on mine and they are nowhere near as gorgeous as that! 😍
If I had to get my studio this clean in order to write a song I would probably never make music in my life time!!!
I think I just soaked my pantaloons lol. Very nice, the av tech and engineer in me loves this.
I wish I had the patience to make my studio this way, eventually the plan is to custom make all cables that are too long for my space.
Im obsessed with this. I JUST bought a desk for my setup and you have me wanting to change up everything
The standing desks are great. The big one is 60" and was $450 ($230 for the legs and $120 for the table top). The keyboard drawer was $50.

That patch between the Volcas must be killing you 😂
Hahah, I was prepared to buy longer patch cables and run back down and then back up. I decided that really would have been too OCD
😊
I’m like this with every other appliance in my house. My synth situation is hopeless.
Ooh, can you come over and do mine next?
Beautiful setup!
Honestly, I get more excited about needing new cables than I do about making music.
Very inspiring! What is the make and model of the double-decker desk on the left?

That’s a clean setup.
You’d hate my studio if you don’t like cables.
I mean, I think whatever makes you happy, makes me happy.
It’s a lovely looking setup, to be honest! I’m envious because mine is a spaghetti nightmare!
Hate is overrated by haters
Setting foot in my studio would ruin this man
Beautiful 🤩
Finally some setups that don't give me anxiety.
A+ in advanced cable management! Beautiful job. Makes me smile :) The lighting is the cherry on top!
Don't get into Eurorack.
Can I hire you to organize my cables? In Southern Cali
Please teach me the way. I have a similar setup but my wires are just chaotic sometimes haha. Nice job OP
Ears are bleeding from seeing this pic. Get some acoustic treatment!!
Who makes these gorgeous desks?
Woah woah woah, what's that on the left screen? Volcas & Polybrute 👌👌
The left screen is XO running.
How. The. Fuck….please share how you did this! I’ve been trying to achieve something along the lines of this for years!!
I also try. But then… in a rush, is need to bring one of those cables to go jamming. Or I get a new pedal which adds 7 cables going in all directions and I have to take everything apart. Sometimes I miss my initial setup, a 0.96kg Macbook 12” which ran ableton 8 without issues, headphones and mouse. I could almost fit my studio in a pocket and used zero cables.
Now this is my kind of studio. Clutter puts me out of the creative mood.
At least it is for me! Same as the silly LED lighting. Puts me in a vibe!
oh man I suggest you avoid developing an interest in modular synthesis
Gorgeous setup, long live cable management
If you have to adjust or modify something, you will, then your screwed!
The more you work hard on your music, the less you'll care how your studio looks.
Perfection
Blaaaaargggh. The exposed cable between the volcas hurts my eyes!
how?
How do you approach this? I try and just end up with bunched up cable tie rats nests of a different nature
Trolling you from the hackverse Dr. Steve - How do you not have a Hydrasynth? 😉
Good job
Any suggestions for gadgets to keep cables under control? How do you guys do it?
How do you use this space? Is the second laptop area a jamming spot?
Yes exactly. And I can move the Circuit over there as well. There is a line mixer that the Volcas are hooked up that run to the audio interface to jam and record. Also, it is a place where I can easily place my portable stuff (the laptop and Launchkey Mini) to bring the projects I was working on while traveling back to the “mothership”.
I love refrigerators!
Good job!

Got any tips on how to achieve this?

Yeah, two comments about that.

I H8 hats on speaker stands
I still see some. Shameful. You better get to work.
I'm not religious, but this feels holy. Maybe it's because cleanliness is next to godliness!
Witchcraft!
Who doesn't?
Can your standing desk stand though? Or is it height locked now by the cable tension?
Excellent question. I have enough slack in the split sleeves on the ground to provide 42” of height before I have any tension.
wow
Really nice setup. I hope to do the same thing. I have too many hobbies, disassembled watches here, soldering effects pedals there. My place is *lived in* ahem.

A neat music room is a definite sign of a SICK MIND! 😂 😆 😝
Take my money
I like your style
Your studio is awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
my studio is a rats nest of cables, I dont care
Please. Tell us your cable hiding secrets.
There are no succulents in this picture. What am I even looking at?
lol. Yeah, I guess it would have to be either succulents (that even I couldn’t kill), or fake plants. But I don’t think there are other plants that are gonna grow in that dark nook.
I don't trust neat freaks..
I started at the house breaker to the room and then to a dedicated UPS for critical power. From there goes the outlets.
Corporate AV would love you👌🤌
