OK, I had to Google EWI, because I didn't know why you would have to stand to play an East West Instrument virtual flute or clarinet.

You don't necessary have too, but it gives you better control and technique to play standing than having your torso all curled and reduce your lung capacity.stratatonic wrote: ↑04 Apr 2021OK, I had to Google EWI, because I didn't know why you would have to stand to play an East West Instrument virtual flute or clarinet.

It was a Behringer remake
That's a superb setup with one major drawback - the speaker positioning sucks! Apart from that, nice one.MixerJaexx wrote: ↑07 Apr 2021My studio hardware set up is on a custom standing-height stainless steel desk. I do a mix of standing and sitting by using a barstool-height chair (out of frame).
The most freedom (and fun) is standing, but while sitting I can access most of the rack hardware, all 24 channels of the mixer, the 49 key keyboard (via keyboard drawer), isomorphic keypad, universal controller, modular synth, patch cables and drum pad (now positioned on the wall below the modular synth). But because sitting and reaching to the left or right quickly is slower sitting, it encourages you to stand up. Standing more is my goal so it works out. (I also use a chair with no padding to encourage standing more.) This set up also supports normal computer use (notice the keyboard and mouse are front in center) including gaming (space for throttle and joystick or iPad second screen, etc). It’s great for digital painting too, I created the art for my Sound-sized Treats album on my standing desk while playing the Reason project files and watching the mixer faders move with the songs.
I choose this desk set up as it’s far cheaper to build a modular stationary high desk and use any number of barstool-height chairs than to build or purchase a convoluted and far more expensive transforming desk. My custom studio rack and desktop wouldn’t fit under a moving desk, a moving desk wouldn’t support the weight of all the hardware on the desk (including network equipment behind the mixers), I can transition from sitting on a chair to standing in seconds and the standing desk allows multiple people to stand and work together (up to three with my set up).
Yeah, I agree that I’d prefer the speakers placed different if possible. I don’t recommend people positioning their speakers this way. But it’s the best set up for the constraints of space and not mounting them to the walls (avoiding bass rumbling through the walls). To the left of the set up is an entry way to an alcove-like area that can’t be blocked. This set up literally can’t take up any more space to the left, right, top or bottom. These speakers are placed between a rock and a hard place.
