GUIDED TOUR OF THE STUDIOS
Hi! I'm Philip Tan, also known as FireHazard. This is where I sleep, play, relax and work on my own stuff: the FireHazard Studios. In this photo, it looks like a Wacom graphics tablet is going to punch me in the ribs.
One angle of the studio, with my messy bed in the corner. Next to my bed is Blaise, my 486DX2-66. Mostly Pascal work on Blaise. On the TV are my phones and USRobotics V.Everything Courier, my lifeline to the net.
The most important unit of the studios, my Apple Power Mac 9500/132. I do everything from DTP and web publishing to video editing and MIDI sequencing. There's a Truevision TARGA 2000PCI inside and two 4Gb Fast/Wide SCSI-2 Micropolis AV Gold drives under the small monitor. An Opcode Systems Studio 4 does the MIDI. There's also a small Hi-Fi above it (not really in picture) that makes Descent rock!
The second most important part of my studio, a Mackie 24:8 mixer. Almost everything that makes noise comes into here. The primary noisemakers are Alesis Monitor One speakers, not in the picture.
I'm literally a bedroom DJ, with a Vestax PMC20SL mixer and a Vestax CD-11 double-CD player. They're good pieces of kit, but the CD-11 is a little old and buggy.
A Yamaha W7 is my chief sound source. Other sound sources include a Korg X5DR, a Roland JV1080, and a Roland S760 Sampler.
Alesis 3630, Alesis MEQ-230, Alesis QuadraVerb2, Alesis RA-100, Roland JV1080, Mackie power supply, Tascam 202MkIII, Tascam DA-20, Fostex RD-8, Re'an patchbays.
What, no analogue synths?
Yes, unfortunately, FireHazard doesn't have any analogue stuff yet. I'm hoping for the Novation BassStation Rack to hit Singapore so I could start blurbing away. Oh well, thus endeth the tour...
