I promised some pics of the Incredible Shrinking Studio in it’s most recent carnation (in my tiny apartment in Tokyo) a while back. Since I’ve been working on a bunch of music for a super secret project recently, I was able to snap a few pics while I had it set up.
So that’s how it looks 
I also have a table of optional stuff which can be swapped out for the Akai LPK 25 which looks like this:
From top to bottom on the left, that would be the Pentax Portable Scanner and PocketJet printer. a BLUE bluebird microphone, a Flip Mino HD (for video), a Sony ICD-UX70 for stereo mp3 recording, some audio technica pro 700 headphones (great), some Sony MDR-XD300 (cheap), and some Koss uh, somethings (super cheap). On the right side is the Traveler Pro guitar.
What do you think? Small enough? Something else I really need to add?

I just followed the link to your previous post about the incredible shrinking studio. Yeah, that one. From April. Of last year. I’m glad I did. I was going to ask what the MOTU was. Let me back tha up. I know what a MOTU is, but I didn’t know that that’s what it was in this picture. Having read your post from April, I now know exactly what everything is in your setup. Since this one looks about 99% the same. And had I asked I’m sure you would have ripped me a new one for asking a question to which an answer had already been provided. So I’m glad I jumped into the archives. The point of this post? Congratulations I guess. That actually is quite impressive. The last rig I saw with my own eyes took up the northern wall of your room at Randalls. Your ingenuity never fails to impress. Hope all is well out there! Oh and when is the reveal on the secret project?
Hey Richard! Thanks for dropping by (finally
)! MOTU stands for Mark of the Unicorn and is a company that makes music stuff. I’ll follow up this comment and the other one in a few minutes. If you can stay awake for just a bit longer, you’ll have one *hell* of an amazing article to read from one of my heroes 
I was having some database issues, so I think it’s safer for you to read the Al Lowe interview when you wake up tomorrow (and after your hangover?)
95% the same. 110% different in spirit
The Akai, the extra monitor real estate, and the chair make all the difference to me.
Don’t hesitate to ask questions, I guess that’s what I’m here for. To entertain and enlighten. I’d only rip you a new one if we we met in person and I told you a hundred times already. And then I’d go ahead and tell you anyway
