    I finally found the desk of my dreams for my studio, and it's called DOMinator! Coincidence? Maybe ;)
    By the way, I am going to release the track that plays at the beginning soon ;)
    Use the code "DOMSIGALAS" to get $100/€100 OFF your desk!

    I've just watched a 16 min video about a desk... And when it was finished, I wanted more! Glad that no midi packs were used in this video either. As for the desk, my requirements are a bit strange so I have someone building one for me on specs... ...but I'd get the Studio Desk just for the piano luster finish!

      @@TheFujac The truth is I use a hearing aid calibrated to give me back some of the frequencies I lost on that ear. That creates a rebalancing for my brain of the stereo imaging. On the more difficult frequencies, mainly low end, I rely most of the times on my right side ear sometimes together with graphic analiser to confirm the frequencies. Gladly I have always had great listening skills, learned to play and sing always by listening. Lots of ear training now (the ususal stuff just like getting used to a new pair of speakers or hdphones)... all works to "recalibrate" the brain" into new challenges 🙌

    In spite of the gorgeousness of the DOMinator desk itself, the lovely lights and the breath-taking aspirational gear postioned perfectly on it, ultimately it is a well-thought out workspace which will grow as you incorporate additional gear and give you a comfortable environment to spend hours doing what you love. If a desk can be considered both practical and sexy, the DOMinator desk certainly is just that!
    Enjoy it Dom! (And yes, I want one!) 😍

    I looked at a few 0f the StudioDesks but wanted a sit/stand motorized desk. and to be honest, felt they were a bit overpriced for MDF dipped in fibre glass.
    With some encouragement from Chris St'Aubyn, I decided to go DIY. I designed and built my own desk with parts from Amazon and Home Depot. Saved about $1800 compared to the basic Studio Desk offering.

    The harder one works, the more hours spent, the more important the environment. Years ago, I had the good fortune of constant overlapping fantasy projects and took advantage of the income stream to build my dream Artisan Mobile, which supported my career as a live specialist and gave me more post-production work than I could handle. I’ve recently moved home and plan to do it again in a fixed space. This plan brought me here to see your experience. Much of my construction in the Mobile was self-designed and built but I had a great control room already, built by John Archer Design. At home it will be all new and I go into this with no small amount of trepidation.

    Great review, I just order mine a hour ago. I will have to assemble it alone. I also have a Cranborne 500R8 I guess i will put it in the same location that you are using. I will use my MODX 88 for my controller. Currently i am using a Keylab mk II 61 which I like very much. I am using a 4K 55'' Sony tv for my main monitor, with two 32'' monitors I will have to come up with a layout that will work. Next step is to disconnect all my gear and move it out of my Room and then build the dominator in place, Oh lord! This is a mix of excitement and dread I have never had all my gear disconnected. I will sent a picture of my studio. Thanks

    Thank you Dom for this video. I am in a similar kind of setup. The only thing is that I never found a good place for my 88 piano master keyboard. I tried to use a stand and move it partially under the desk. But for that I really have to sit low when playing. Then my arms and shoulder hurt when using my gear further away on the desk. I noticed you sit quite high on your chair. How does that working position affect arms, shoulders, etc. Otherwise, this DOMinator desk really looks like a good upgrade. 😎

    My wrists hurt just watching this. I can't do keyboard-underneath setups. Having the keyboard underneath causes me to have to raise the main typing surface to an uncomfortable level for my hands/forearms. Since I do a lot of computer work that doesn't involve having my MIDI keyboard out, I can't justify the awkwardness, so I keep my MIDI keyboard on the desk surface just beyond my typing keyboard. This also helps while arranging in notation programs, because I'm mostly using my mouse and keyboard to navigate/use shortcuts/etc, and using my keyboard to tap in notes. If was ONLY using a DAW all day every day, then I'd maybe consider a keyboard-underneath desk.

    However, I have tested the both worlds of having a midi keyborad on a tray and directly on the desk and I'd say I prefer the latter probably because I spend most of my time producing.
    Having to move the midi keyboard back and forth isn't particularly the best as you spend more time with the keyboard and mouse so it's much better to have them coloser to you than the midi controller... Stretching to reach the keyboard and mouse during production is a pain in the butt
