So, what's your studio space like?

The best accessory for Nord keyboards is a great place to play them. Well, after you figure out the amplification thing.
Understand what they can do, dial them in, hear their glory, etc.
A lot of you seem to have some killer studio space set up. Congratulations!
I've finally dialed in my rehearsal space to a new level, and -- well -- it's really helping me musically. Total eargasm when it all gets cooking?
My wife rehabs and rents houses. I'd get to use a space in between projects and rentals. I've been in four different music houses over the last few years. Well, sort of rough, so I said "let's do a dedicated music house OK?" There was negotiation involved, but eventually she was in.
Last fall, we found the place. A sad little house with potential. A third of an acre on a busy street. Concrete block construction (important in Florida). The airport is behind us. We can make noise if we want, no one is going to complain. The floor plan is basically one big room in the center, with beds and kitchens and such as attachments.
We had to do some basic rehab, as the property had been neglected for many years. Get rid of the rats, repair the damage, new electrical, etc. But now it's up and running, and it's amazing. I can get 7-9 musos into the space, more than enough.
I hung $$$ acoustic foam off the walls. Bass traps in the corners. Rugs and curtains everywhere. Ceiling is treated as well. Ain't no reverb in this space, no matter how loud you play. Oh, BTW, wifi cameras if anyone decides to drop by. Nice track lighting.
Default sound system is a pair of $$$ Fulcrum Acoustic 12acs. Go look them up, stupid money, stupid specs. If people want floor monitors, we've got the infamous RCF TT08-a units all around.
I bring different groups over, they're always blown away by the stunning acoustics. As am I. It's forcing me to dial in my Nords for the premium experience. "Good enough" isn't anymore.
Recording is a breeze, BTW. Just hit record on my laptop and the mixer takes it all in.
May you all find sonic bliss. My keys technique is taking a huge leap forward as a result.

I'm thinking about it really hard as a result ...
