About the acoustically transparent desk: There's a video series colab between Acoustics Insider and Music City Acoustics where they featured a design they came up with (in the last episode near the end I believe). It's basically just a bunch of planks screwed together with the narrow sides up, so there is as little surface to it as possible/sensible with the setup. That concept might work in your situation as well.
Yeah we’ve been enjoying that series! Interesting stuff ❤
I've ben using a standing desk for more than a year now and absolutely love it! I practically don't sit when working at all anymore, because standing is just that much more comfortable for me. Highly recommend it!
You made a wonderful Music Standing Desk last year and we definitely love the idea. So another win-win collaboration again! Already looking forward to the ESD1 review lol
Great video. Love your reviews. Truthful & Honest, with a lot of humour with no BS.
Just discovered your UA-cam channel. This is great. Very informative and entertaining. Many thanks guys.
Great review guys! I’ve got mine on order and can’t wait! Thank you for the video! :) 7:16
Great going to buy the Q8.
Great as always! Eric valentine made an acoustic transparent console for undertone Audio. I think he used a mesh steel type sheets. It would be worth looking into Eric's a genius 🤘
Had my eye on the Herman Miller EMBODY chair for a while. About to pull the trigger, prob in a couple of weeks from now
Find myself stood at my desk, hunched over which isn't good of course.
Really need to get a standing desk.
I have a really great custom made standing desk that also lifts quite a bunch of weight... but I think the **coolest** thing you guys did--- something that ALL studio desk manufacturers' should consider offering --- are those risers for speakers that are off the desk.
Would watch James put together a desk again for the lols.
Angle the normally horizontal surfaces of the desk back by about 10-15 degrees (experiment based on shape and size of the slab), leaving only a small horizontal keyboard, mouse, and coffee cup area. Yes, it makes the desk awkward, and I refuse to do that to my setup, but it's the only way I've seen it done and verified by measurements. Alternatively, check out photos of the beautiful Joao Carvalho Mastering room in Toronto. It's arguably the most acoustically balanced room in the world. The back of his desk has specific angled surfaces and acoustic absorbers you can mimic.
lol brilliant well done guys :-)
Acoustically transparent desk: Curuxa Customs 1 bay desk. The sides are made of fabric and sound can travel through it. If you contact them you can pick the 1 bay desk (it’s small but gets the job done!)
Yeah we love their designs! Seen them online - very beautiful concepts :)

Nice Guys! 👍🏻👍🏻Would be great if you can tell us more about the white Desk with the LED Lights build in! It looks so cool! My Dream Desk would be such a Desk in white high glossy with build in LED lights, Rack Spaces, an 88 Keyboard Tray and this all in a height adjustable motorized sit to stand! 😍😍😍 But unfortunately I don't have those Skills to do it on my own and I don't know somebody who can build it custom made for me.. 😞
James here:
The desk in my room features in most videos! It's a custom desk made by us to fit my multiple screens and workflow the best. We designed and built it in-house.
If you'd like to see some pictures:

It features heavily in videos on our second channel:
ua-cam.com/video/ZRUEC4-xYhk/v-deo.html
How do you change already saved setting to a different setting (i.e. different height)?
you just beat me!!!
Cool desk.
Any news on the new driver for the new speakers, or is a new video forthcoming?
Oh, and I was really hoping to see you upload the video-call you had with Stan at Bliesma… I’d like to know why the alu-mg drivers are the better choice for home hifi.
Hey there, thanks for the comment. We ended up going for a cabinet redesign instead, so you’ll be hearing about that very soon indeed!
The interview ended up being below our usual production standards, and so we are working on making this better for everybody - many of our viewers know that we only put out content which we believe is as good as possible, so please bear with us for that
Thanks, look forward to more.
There's a pretty annoying high pitched noise in all of the clips of james putting the desk together, thought I'd let you know.
Yeah that’s cos the old one (me) forgot to plug a mic in. So it’s the fan noise from the camera. Sorry about that!
Yet another killer video. Only one question can the desk lift FLOP CAT? 🙀 🙀 🙀
Only just! He’s a pretty big Flopper!
"Our new Atmos room" ... I am wondering how big your space actually is! Would be cool to see the updated floor plan. I think last we saw it it was long and narrow?
Our current Atmos room is 6m x 4.5m, and my (James) room is 7m x 6m and will be Atmos’d next year
@@PresentDayProduction Atmos all the things!
Oh… WE WILL 😍
Not exactly a 'transparent' idea - but how's about the desk top being mounted on a slight tilt towards you (ie: up at back, down at front) to change the amount and direction of reflection?
Good suggestion!
I’m building my own project studio right now and was also wondering the same thing about having a desk that has minimal impact on the soundstage.
I thought about covering the desk with carpet but then I also thought about having the desktop made out of Aluminium sheet, perforated with thousands of tiny holes. I’m pretty sure that the latter idea would work well but it’s not an easy task getting a prototype built.
I didn’t even see E8 in their lineup…
Sorry this isn’t very relevant to your latest video.
Thanks for an excellent channel, been enjoying you for a while now. You probably already know but just in case you don’t: Live world gear has developed at a remarkable rate in recent years due to the ‘Worship’ market across the pond. Thank God!
Thank YOU!
We wish the studio world would take a leaf from the live world’s book… the innovation in the live world should be inspiring to the studio world
@@PresentDayProduction From the Good Book😇
Better than keeping your hair on, right?
Why does a studio chair need a headrest?
As someone who sits badly, it’s a good reminder not to slouch too much
DIY vs ADAT. Whose hate is stronger?
Ooooo that’s a good challenge! I’m quite passionate about my hate for DIY…
Did you guys protesting? It's been awhile..
We’ve been super busy working on our PDP studio monitors, but we’ll have some great content coming soon!
Just started following you chaps as I found your reviews interesting and humorous and was following your speaker design etc and then boom, it all stopped. Is everyone ok? What’s happening dudes. Itchy
Hello! SO MUCH has been happening behind the scenes, that’s why we have been quiet, but you can be sure there’s something super awesome speaker-wise on the way! And more content, of course, too!
That’s cool beans, best of luck with whatever you are working on. Would love an update on your monitor design. Look forward to hearing about it. All the best. Itchy.
That’s exactly what we are working on, info coming very soon!
L I K E 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤💛💚💛❤🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
This is not sponsored video... Yeah right.
Maybe you haven't watched enough of our videos to understand that a) we don't do monetary sponsorships, and b) we are always honest in our videos.
Not only is your comment incorrect, but it's clearly based on unfounded assumptions. Watch some more videos!
@@PresentDayProduction 👎
Oh James... Mate, I love you but you are worse at DIYing stuff than my ex and she was pretty terrible at it!
FlexiFlop, make Flop fly.
I have nothing useful to say, so "nothing useful". You're welcome!
Thanks, Peter, for that valuable insight 😂 FlexiFlop, that’s going to be a thing!
A music-studio chair, built like a tank..? Should it then run on ‘groovy tracks’ rather than wheels..?
How could you tell James was working hard on his desk-assembly..? It took him a while before he put his feet up..!
Will Mark be slapping his big organ on the new desk, too..?
I see James didn’t actually go through the centre of the Earth... I suppose D.I.Y isn’t his ‘core’ skill.
I cannot explain to you how hopeless I am
@@PresentDayProduction I think that’s quite a Descartes-esque reply.
Ez first
