Has anyone else noticed?????
I think it's really good that people are so enthusiastic about music, production, Dj'ing but what I have noticed that is quite disturbing about this thread is the amount of people (about 95% of all the photos) who show they clearly don't have a clue about studio set up, acoustics, speaker placement, audio engineering or even basic ergonomics in a "working" or studio environment.
Don't get me wrong there are a lot of constraints (space, layout, materials, budget - the list goes on) but christ, I just don't understand how so many people on this site can spend serious amounts of cash (£2K and upwards in many pics) on serious, pro kit and get it so wrong. Please invest £10 in a book to learn how to set it all up - why do you think us "Dj's" have such a bad name in professional circles.....

I have a clue- I have a degree in such gubbins!
I just choose not to give a crap about the majority of it
Anyone anal about this stuff would have a field day looking closely at my studio and probably picking fault with it,...but ultimately they can go ram it.
That sort of bollocks is precisely why I got disillusioned with the whole industry a long time ago.
My walls arent parallel, and the ceiling is slanted- that is good enough for me in terms of acoustics.
Will post some current pics later so you can have a heart attack
As a very wise man, producer, engineer, and dear friend said to me years ago:
" learn the rules, then break them"

Why does a DJ need to worry about acoustics?
Why bother spending money on decent kit then?
Would you buy a Maclaren F1 only to ever go 100m down the road to your paper shop, when the speed limit in your area is 5m per hour?
My point is that I'm seeing so many people spend ridiculous amounts of money and obsess on this forum (and others) about the best/latest/highest quality kit only to set it up in a way that will only detract from it's proper use.
If you can afford to buy it and you want to use it for making music, why not install it so you get the best possible results out of it.
Not that I'm picking on anyone in particular as many photos are just criminal, but take as an example the guy with two Mackie SRM450's in his living room. Unless he lives in a detached house in the middle of a field, he will never be able to get those speakers up to the volume they were intended to be used at and they will just sound noisy. They are PA speakers, and are really not a good choice for a home DJ set up.
I can find more examples if you want but just look at the pics - there are literally hundreds of schoolboy mistakes.

ZeJayMan - That is exactly what I'm talking about!
There are so many little things that can be done to improve a set up.
