Recording Studio Mixing Desk Build - DIY

Here is a quick walk through of me building and then testing my desk. I built this for under $150 bucks and I think it turned out great!
As you can see I built the studio desk with minimal amount of tools. Actually could have been done with less than you see here. If you want the Sketchup file for the Desk let me know and I'll be happy to send it along. Visit me on my Facebook page and send me a message: / redtonestudiogear
Measurements on the desk were done with REW software (which is cheap and free), right in my budget! No better feeling when you do it all yourself and it turns out great.
This was a great addition to me Recording Studio and has already proved super valuable in fit and function. A proper Mixing Desk is more than important for great workflow.

Thanks for showing your process. Your video has convinced me to build my own desk as well.

super wykonane mnie podoba się kolor mahoń adekwatny do Retro zależy jak komu taki kolor pasuje i podoba się serdecznie pozdrawiam i zostawiam łapke w górę miłego dnia

[@redtonestudio2982]

Thanks for watching. I too like the color, it fits well with the rest of my studio I think.

[@dirtkeepsthefunk]

Wow, your cabinetmaking/carpentry skills -- it's like watching improvisational art! Really inspiring, and on both fronts (your skills + the desk).

[@redtonestudio2982]

Thanks for watching! I had a bit of a plan at the beginning so not too improvisational this time around, but things always go awry and designs need to change mid project!

My friend I know that your channel Is about music but I like your Woodworking skills and I think I Will use your desing. Sorry for muy english. Greetings from Buenos Aires. Argentine

[@redtonestudio2982]

No problem on your English, my actual job has gotten my down to Buenos Aires before, beautiful country. Feel free to steal all my designs, sad to say though I sometimes make them up as I go.

Excellent work! May try this in the not-too-distant future.

[@redtonestudio2982]

Thanks for watching! Give it a try, it was a bunch of fun besides the layers of paint...

*WHAT ACOUSTIC GUITAR IS THAT ON THE INTRO and how was it recorded "signal chain"?*

[@redtonestudio2982]

It's been awhile but for sure it is my Martin D-28. Most likely it is mic'd by a AKG C414 into my FMR Audio RNP then into my interface a QU-16.

[@trevastill5248]

Can you upload the Measurements?

[@redtonestudio2982]
