Audio Gadgets from Santa?

I was just curious: Are any of you hoping to get any musical equipment or audio gadgets for Christmas? If so, what is it you’ve asked for or what are you hoping to get? If not, what equipment/gadgets would you love to receive as a gift? Something for your home studio perhaps?

You never know, Santa might be reading this.

I will probably get a SM57 for this Christmas if things goes ok. With this economic crisis it’s getting harder and harder to get what you want…
As for “wish list”, mine can get quite big. It includes ribbon microphones, preamps, flugelhorn, a piccolo trumpet, a Les Paul Classic and list goes on…

I just got a M-Audio USB keyboard for my birthday on the 6th. I’m hoping now to get the Garritan Personal Orchestra Reason refill.

Would love either a Zoom H4N portable recorder, or this desk:

Hopefully Santa isn’t feeling the recession lol

drool I’ll take everything in that picture except the mac lol.

On second thought, I could use the mac as a boat anchor…

I’d love Trilian http://www.spectrasonics.net/instruments/trilian.php the Acoustic Bass video demo here http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7308500&server=vimeo.com&autoplay=1 is super impressive …

... Garritan Personal Orchestra 4 http://www.garritan.com/products_gpo4.html would be really nice too …

or the Jazz (&/or the Funk) Addictive Drums Adpack http://www.xlnaudio.com/?page=products&p_page=adpaks ...

or this great VST synthesizer http://www.acesynth.com/ ...

... c’mon Santa ! I’ve been a nice boy

I have the original Zoom H4 recorder and it is great but im guessing the newer types are much better now.

Anyway i highly doubt i will be getting them any time soon but two synths i have always wanted are the Ensoniq Fizmo and the V-Synth GT, both sound amazing.

Hello All

@MusicforMedia As for the desk, i would prefer to buil it on my own for that price listed…even if Santa will pay for it, its only laminated “presswood”. Look the one i build for around 600$ here ,its not just laminated, its massive wood and has exactly the meassurements i wanted SO….. ask Santa for a few wood plies and start beeing a carpenter :))

@Pixelside Whats wrong with that Mac ? I needed 2 of them to keep my desk where it belongs to :))

@Santa May you bring me a nice Rhode for x_mas and i would kiss your bell for that

Happy x_mas to everyone …. may your wishes come true !!!!

Hey danieldust, Can we all hire you to build us a studio like that too? Lovely studio/photos! What equipment do you have in there? Do you record/produce for a living?

Hello Scott

When i browse trough my “while building the studio” picture library, some dark memories come back and remind me “never do this again” It was 6 months full of hard and dirty work :))

No, i cant afford to live from the studio allone anymore. Back in those days without mp3 it was possibel, but nowadays no record label will pay you enough for an album ( 6 months work ) that you will be able to pay your rent etc. during the producing.

So, if anyone wants the plans and sketches for the studio and desk etc. , im happy to share those :))))))

Have funn all you out there and be nice to santa !!
