My proposed new set up for the music room.

The design of the set up allows using the system as a live play
and a record studio without changing or modifying the gear.

The heart of the performance, the keyboard (G70).
The heart of the recording, The PC (laptop) prepared with
MixCraft Pro 8 (daw) and boost ready flash ram, touch screen.
19 inch external monitor.
M-10dx digital mixer and Roland Quad capture
audio/midi interface.

All connections are digital.. mixer, audio interface and laptop.
Recording via MixCraft(daw) and Tascam DR07 from the mixer(M-10dx).

Sound support (speakers) run off the mixer.

Main sound are Roland Cube 100's RAC active from M-10dx room analyze control.
(flat).

The Marantz voice rover will be controlled separately from the mixer
as a monitor.

Another (Podium 802) will be controlled with aux send from the mixer.

Live play will be from the G70 intirely. Into the front inputs of
Quad capture, and out of the 1 and 2 out puts on the back.
The outputs will be routed into the mixer, thus all will remain digital.

The G70 will have arranger functions, song sequencing , mic and harmonies,
controlled within the G70. Also tablet or cell phone connected into audio input.

Spacewise and gear wise, this is a relatively small footprint, and the 12X13 room
will be fine. The G70 will sit on a Roland V-stand. The mixer will sit on the G70.
The audio interface, laptop and 19 inch monitor, on a desk.
Roland Cubes in each corner, Marantz on desk (ear level), and additional Podium
as a floor monitor.

What I like about this design... I can use the same exact setup on stage or studio.

This is what the room will look like in the dark

Fran are you recording MIDI or audio? What's your MIDI sequencer- MixCraft, or the on-board sequencer on the G-70? Sounds pretty comprehensive!

Good for you Fran - quite the techy

Ted I prefer to sequence MIDI with the G70 sequencer, and audio project recording with MixCraft.. Simple audio recording (quick record) on the Tascam DR07.

The G70 will let me do a midi capture using a style and I can add or change the sequence . all within the keyboard.
If I want to, I can send the sequence to MixCraft, and use VST's.. Save as an audio file.. I could also add sample loops before mixdown.

I'm impressed

Nice Fran. That's just how it's set up in the Smithsonian.

I am insulted and my inspiration is now... gone

On a serious note Fran, I plan to do something similar but I'm a great procrastinator and also very lazy. Good luck with your project.

UH, I will show my ignorance by asking if there is supposed to be a link or photo in that post ...

I was thinking there would be a photo showing all kinds of lights shining ...
