Come on lets start sharing our setups, its inspiring lookin at different setups specially home studios. I'll start of with mine. Pretty basic but effective ya get me!8)
Im 18 yrs. old and im about to finish my music production course this July. I got plans taking all the things i've learn back home (Baguio City) prob after i sort out my vocal chain, ship them all back home and start making music with ya'll!
I've been doing partime as an assembler on a light engineering company. Nope i didnt get anything from my parents except for my bedroom. Im d one who painted the room aswell, i've learned a lot of things growing up in Philippines that most kids here in england wont even touch, so yeah im blessed!:lol:
