My loft setup

My loft setup
Posted on: 02.04.2012 by Caleb Demillo
Here's some pictures of my setup in my loft, which I call "bluedoor" (since all the doors in the building are a very bright blue, why not? Secret lounge.).

The lighting came about over time. The initial idea was that the LED lighting could also be used for accent lighting. It expanded from there...

All lights and visuals are controllable via an iPad, which triggers cues and scenes in ShowCad Artist and Modul8.

The 5D definitely helps. The camera (with the 16-35 F2.8 L) lens definitely makes my space look HUGE. In reality the room is about 30'x15' (still decent size, but not an airport).

I like to go to sleep at evening and hope that when I wake up I have some how taken over your life and that I now own all of that. But no I wake up and I still have nothing compared to that haha.

Well good for you. : D
Hopefully when I get a job I can upgrade my stuff from my mixtrack.

And, I've gotta turn this plane around

Lighting is a bit over the top, but the idea with the LED strips is that they also act as normal lighting as well.

For sound I actually have a 10" sub in the corner off the stereo. That is IT. I had a KRK RP10's subwoofer from my old place, and something about the bass in here, it reverberates like crazy. Huge bass traps in the corner, it sounded ridiculous on the lowest setting, I sold it and upgraded from my previous RP5's to the RP6's. I mean it was really odd, like having a bass bin in your house... maybe the hard concrete floors had a lot to do with that. The system sounds great as is.

As for neighbors, I'm in my mid-30's, so I don't party it up all evening . I do a weekly online DJ show from 6-8pm with friends and neighbors over, and the occasional house party, which is more of a lounge atmosphere with appetizers and some nice techy deep music than a raging drunk 18yo party with dubstep. It's really not louder than a stereo at moderate volume unless I crank it.

Congratulations mate!
Love your place and would love to be at a home party in there
In other words you have the house of our dreams where the atmosphere is always lounged by psychedelia, if you did have a heavy day at the office you can always go back to the cave and RELAXX

Next goal of mine : trying to have a similar place!!
