>>107084006When you post like this you're basically telling an entire thread that you're a miserable person with a not-so-fun life, which is kind of embarrassing. Try being a little more positive instead of only seeing the negative things and you'll quickly realize that you're becoming a happier person.

I'm still working on my battlestation so I don't wanna post it yet. I need some good speakers (nothing too crazy though) and a desk mat. Any recomendations?

>>107084555I thought that was a real floppy for a second and not a coaster.
>>107084761It WAS a real floppy, but it didn't work so I turned it into a coaster.

>>107084555What happened to the mini crt? El papi de todos ustedes
>>107084444Depends on the size you want and a budget you have. For around a $100 you can look into presonus eris 3.5, it's decent for it's size. Mackie CR3.5 is similiar. If you have a bit more space you can look into used passive stereo-pair and hook it into an amp from amazon. Local speaker prices can be a real steal.
>>107085299It's in my closet. I moved my setup back to my bedroom (I was using my guest room as my office until last month, but then I actually got a guest), so now I'm just using my bigger CRT for my PS2 et al.

What the fuck happened to these generals? I remember lurking these threads around 2012-2015 everyone had monster setups with massive bedrooms full of cool shit. These battlestations are third world tier.
>>107089096feel free to post your monster setup in a massive bedroom full of cool shit
>>107083195Kino setup, would proudly ask if you're winnin'.

What kind of setups are the best for your mental health? Something that feels anti-claustrophobic, spacious, but also homely with warm lighting and soft materials and neutral or beige colors?
>>107083195Slightly outdated photo.

>>107090802
>>107090802>>107091540This but unironically.You need a window with a viewside of a lot of greenery or at least a couple plants.
>>107083195who the fuck still uses these big speakers for audio?i have never seen these in my whole life
>>107091641>bookshelf speakers>bigSounds like you've never really heard recorded music. What a sadness to only experience it through shitty headphones.
>>107091540This is literally how I would spend my days on the computer during the summer if I could haul my tower downstairs to my yard by the forest.>>107091548I already have the "window to outdoor nature" part secured, I just need to secure the brightly colored electronics and upholstery I guess.
>>107091641Those aren't big speakers though
>>107092151based and Native Instruments-pilled

>>107093107Looks cool, what's that small screen?
>>107092151Those are some massive speakers.
I don't understand how people manage to live with ANYTHING under their desk or table. I lost my mind after a few months with how uncomfortable having a drawer set underneath is despite it being aesthetically pleasing.I need at least 1 meter width of clearance for my legs to spread, I can't sit with my legs forward. It feels boxed in and uncomfortable. Which makes all of my big wooden desks unusable in the practical sense. But it also looks dumb and space inefficient to just have nothing underneath the table.

>>107093468Neat. What do you use your Sonnet SEL for?
>>10709348810G nicFelt kinda silly to use up a pcie slot just for a nic when I had thunderbolt ports The sonnet was $125 brand new which is expensive for a 10g nic but dirt cheap for that pcie enclosureI rationalized it that I could swap the included intel x520 for a 25gb or 40gb in the future kinda noisy tho
>>107093628Very nice, yeah makes sense.
>>107084838Overnight Sensations?
>>107084838Also always face tweeters outwards! Just saying, small difference in this case though.
>>107093057<3 :3
>>107084360Does having the speakers propped up actually make a difference or is it mainly looks? Just bought a pair for the first time and thinking about it
>>107095674made mine sound worse. it depends
>>107095674usually you want to have them aimed at your head
>>107095684>>107095802With near field monitors, you want them to point at your ears/head. Otherwise wide field, makes little difference.
>>107095805>With near field monitors, you want them to point at your ears/headgeneric and outdated advice
>>107095834retard
>>107095834Try it. These days it's very easy to do your own benchmarks, plenty of software and a mediocre microphone will do.

>>107095869It's okay, anon.
>>107095889>>107095886npc warning
>>107095854P.S. and obviously it's generic advice, it's the main rule, it's not universal though, hence why you should try yourself
>>107095902retard
>>107095902wouldn't an NPC follow generic advice instead of trying themselves?
>>107095914>hurr durr look at me i'm so clever i keep repeating the some generic advice i read on reddit

>>107095674>Just bought a pair for the first time and thinking about itJust mess around with them until you like the sound.
>>107095942No need to get upset, anon.
>>107095947fuck you
>>107095978You too. <3
Why the arguing? >>107095805 and >>107095910 is good advice.
>>107095987nigger
>>107095992it's generic advice
>>107096005So? What else would you call advice that tells you to test yourself?
>>107095674>propped upIdeally you'd want them at ear level to begin with
>>107096024that's not what he said.
>>107096052lmao blind nigger
>>107096052>that's not what he said.>>107095910>it's not universal though, hence why you should try yourself
>>107095674There are a few advantages. Speakers generally sound best with the tweeters at ear height, and having them on stands cuts down on first reflections off the desk surface. As a more practical matter, my desk just isn't wide enough to properly position them and even if it was, I'd still rather have that space open for activities.
>>107096070>it's not universal though, hence why you should try yourselfhe said that after i called him out
>>107096176>>107095854
>>107095028Yup.>>107095040It makes no realdifference. I set it up one way, set it up another when I moved.
>>107096184also said after i called him out
>>107096197I think it's pretty obvious that if they sound worse when propped up, it doesn't apply to your use case.
>>107096197because >>107095805 is the usual ground rule
>>107096210and that's why i said it's generic advice to say speakers always sound best at ear level
>>107096221Propped up isn't ear level.... You don't need to prop them up if they are already at ear level.
>>107096196>It makes no real differenceit absolutely does. whether you care about it or not is another question.
>>107096196>>107096243The difference would be miniscule though.
>>107096243Maybe a little
>>107096243It's imperceptible without some sort of assistance. 90% of what I listen to is mono anyway.

>>1070875503D pipes screensaver?i want that fucking laptop/netbook thing
>>107097099Yes, 3-D pipes on my desktop.You can buy a laptop like it from ebay or whatever for about 100 bucks. It's just a Panasonic lets note cf-sv7.
>>107097148SEX
>>107091641>i have never seen these in my whole lifeThis is just kinda sad.>>107096747>its nowhere near big speakersI would say it's even on a small side. The only decent tiny speakers I heard were Ilouds micros.>>107095040>always face tweeters outwards!Tweeters should face sorta towards your ear; it'll help with stereo imaging. But it's not a big deal if it's a bit off. >>107095674>>Does having the speakers propped up actually make a difference or is it mainly looks?Stands help to decouple it from the desk. There's other ways if you have big enough desk to put it there. Also you can mount it on a wall or a shelf.
>>107097225>Tweeters should face sorta towards your ear; it'll help with stereo imaging. But it's not a big deal if it's a bit off.I mean outwards from eachother in a horizontal plane. I.e. like >>107087550 not >>107084838
>>107087550>>107097148Is it true the touchpad can scroll in a circular motion? Kinda like a iPod?
>>107097247yes, chirol scrolling, and its been a thing on most synaptics trackpads for almost 30 years.>>107097243both are mine. It makes no real world difference. /g/ complained because I do not tilt them back. /g/ also complained because I do not cant them inward. I'm going to sit and listen to the coasters in mono anyhow so who gives a shit.
>>107097243Oh. I can't see why it would matter besides the aesthetics
>>107097284The theory is that wider separation is going to create a more immersive sound and. The reality is for speakers like this, placed where they are, the extra 5CM doesn't matter.
>>107097284It also helps with stereo imaging, higher frequencies are easier to pinpoint by your ears.
>>107097278>both are mine. It makes no real world difference. /g/ complained because I do not tilt them back. /g/ also complained because I do not cant them inward. I'm going to sit and listen to the coasters in mono anyhow so who gives a shit.Autism.>>107097284>Oh. I can't see why it would matter besides the aestheticsWhat >>107097311 said.
>>107097311>more immersive soundI mean sure... At this size, it would make all the difference. Inward looks neater.
>>107097383>Inward looks neater.
>>107097478
>>107097278>It makes no real world difference.it does. say you don't care, but it makes a real world difference
>>107097383>the extra 5CM doesn't matter.in a nearfield setting literally every single centimeter matters
>>107097665Please, then by all means, enlighten me on the differences it makes when I am listening to pet sounds in mono. I'll wait.>>107097679It's literally personal preference on what you like, and the content you listen to. The vast majority of the music I listen to is not stereo, and there is as a result no imaging benefit to having a wildly spaced set up, or a centered set up.

>>107098867Comfy /bst/ though.
>>107098913Thanks, it's pretty much done, slightly dated pic though, there's a 27inch portrait display between the right speaker and laptop with a monitor arm.

>>107103369Yeah, why not. It'll probably be alright if you have some furniture. Also, if you gonna buy some decent sized speakers you should try them without the sub.
>>107103369A room doesn't really need "treatment" if it has furniture. It's one thing if you're in a cinderblock cube, but if you've got carpet or a rug and a couch you're fine. Plants, bookshelves, lampshades, all those things will scatter reflections.

>>107087550>>107097205What a neat design.
>>107110080I love that japanese design is stuck in early 2000
>>107097205>>107110080>>107110372is the laptop itself not early 2000s?
>>107110414It's from 2018. It has an 8th gen i7u.
>>107110742Cute! Tiny trackpad, dvd-drive, tons of leds.
>>107083195>There are users on /g/ who only use one monitor
>>107092695>two left handed input devicesdid you lose an arm?
>>107110971At one point I didn't even had a monitor. I look at this photo and think that I need to clean up my workspace again
>>107110971Multiple monitors are precisely what's making your life miserable. Too much distraction, noise and general saturation of mind.
>>107106818Really love this guy's wood.
>>107111029I can't stand multi monitor setups, even though I like the look of them. I just have my pc set up to run on one monitor at a time, despite being plugged into 2 monitors and my TV. Honestly just end up using my 'puder on the TV 99% of the time.
>>107110971I had two monitors at work. All I ever did was leave outlook and ms teams open on the other monitor. Extra screens doesn't really help my workflow. I am not transcribing data, or constantly referencing material. I look at and make changes to engineering drawing packages all day.On top of that, multi monitor set ups look janky to me usually, messes up speaker placement, limits where you can put your tower etc. One screen per computer is all I need.
>>107097925>forward assistwhat a retarded design.
>>107106818That's nice. I mean, is that your fucking CEILING above the monitor? Grim. But other than that shit, very nice.
>>107104306>this 1 hispanic country out of 12 is not 3rd world, therefore youre wronglol
How big is too big for a deskmat or mousepad? I fear that my 120x60cm carpet will be too big for a table with a cork board on the wall I need to access.
>>107111869If it fits on the desk it's fine
>>107096747What sucks about windows media player is when I rip a cd into it, the only metadata that ends up in the file is the text, Not the age of the album or the cover image if its available. Is there a way to fix this or should I just use a different ripping software.
>>107104469I've got one too
>>107111482>is that your fucking CEILINGyeah it is, its a 140 yearold house you kinda have to make use of odd areas best you can
>workflow >productivity SOYA
>>107114142Where does one get a robe like this?
>>107114142That's a very relaxing room, but it bothers me that they took the photo in this way, top down and with a flash, it doesn't do the scene justice.
>>107111482Lots of old buildings have angled ceilings where the roof is. Old pic.
