I just want to say I appreciate you giving full disclosure in the intro of these reviews. To many TH-camrs don't do that, and even don't want to acknowledge that they have gotten things from someone. (Looking at all those G-Fuel TH-camrs.).
Basically I just click on your videos to listen to the crisp, clear audio quality and that amazing voice. Don't you judge me! Oh yeah and the info and humour is great as well.
I got this desk today 50% off and it came defected. I couldn’t even pass step 5 because the desk doesn’t fit into the frame. And that step is the most crucial since all the rest of steps are dependent if everything fits properly. The screw holes are too far away from the actual frame. I am getting a replacement but after talking to customer service for 3 hours, it seem like they don’t know anything about construction
Great, honest review brother. Thank you for taking the time and energy to create this video for us. Time for me to make my own as this isn't as high quality and large enough for my needs.
What is the length of it? Picture at web site shows a keyboard with lots of extra room. But the keyboard in picture is not 88 key. My Yamaha 88 key P-126 is nearly 52 inches long.
Buyer beware. Had substantial issues on a Flexispot desk purchased through Amazon. POOR workmanship!! Missing pre drilled holes, no explanation of how to assemble certain pieces ...etc. I left my experience in an Amazon review. Flexispot contacted me and tried to pay me off to remove my review. Gross. I decided I didn't want to be bought off and left my review up. There are better ways to go!
I have attached lots of things on the underside of my desk. For some items, I am using magnets. Totally out of view. You can make brackets out of plexiglass. Really convenient. Looks ugly when you lean down and look at the bottom of the desk but fortunately it is not obvious unless you force yousefl.
@@BoothJunkie serious question. If you're just recording voiceovers and not doing much livestreaming, do you really need so much processing in real time ?
i have a montage m8x, it is fairly tall, around 6 11/16", and I am having a very hard time finding a "keyboard desk" that gives that kind of clearance. Most stop around 6.5", and that just doesn't work for me. I'd prefer an electric sit-stand, and I've looked at Argosy, RAB, AZ, Studiodesk, and all the others. Studio desk has a "modular" system that basically is just two nesting desks that fit inside each other, but, they give a 7" clearance. However, that's not what I'd prefer. Anyone have any ideas???
If you put a keyboard in the slot and were playing it, would the desk shake and vibrate? That is probably important, just to avoid distracting movement of the keyboard.
Thanks for sharing your VO hardware construct. You may have done this already but in a future video could you also share your general workflow from recording to rough editing in an app, please? I ask because I noticed your mic on this desk and wonder what you use that for. I've seen you in your VO booth, but...
hi great video. Did you assemble the desk or did the delivey person assemble for you? I'd to buy a studio desk but i'd rather have someone assemble the desk for me.
Hey Mike, Thanks for the video! I have been looking to upgrade my desk for a very, very long time. And I would love to take advantage of that coupon. However, there is a sad lack of dimensions for many relevant aspects of this desk. For one, I must know the actual height of the sliding tray. I use a very bulky midi controller, and I am simply afraid that it would not be able to slide in/out with the leveling control hung in that space. Hopefully, I'm not asking too much, but could you measure that? I would also request a measurement of the *inside* width of the tray. The website only mentions the dimensions of the entire width of the unit, which is unhelpful. Obviously, the actual tray itself will be a tad bit smaller in terms of what can actually fit on it. I can't find these dimensions in a review anywhere, and its not located on the store page or the manual. That is usually a negative determinant for me when I am buying something, as those details matter. If I end up purchasing this desk and the MIDI controller doesn't fit, that would cause a lot of headache from needing to send it back and restore my current setup. Thanks :)
Where can I find out the details of the various mounting solutions you show on this video? I'm currently looking for studio monitor stands, computer monitor arm and I really liked the mic arm you are using for the Lewitt.
hey booth junkie, quick question: Do your monitors shake when you are typing? I'm seeing them shaking all the time while you are using the table and I'm a bit concerned about that (thinking about buying this desk)
Mike has an isolated audio booth separate from his editing studio. It's probably best to record audio in a well-treated space with limited reflective surfaces. He has several videos about using improvised spaces like closets using blankets and other sound-absorbing materials.
@@BrianBloom I know but for youtubers and livestreamers, that might not be possible. Also in many recording booths there are glass windows. Not sure if the glass window causes problems or not.
The tray and the clamp problem are deal breakers for me. It could also use "wings" or slots on the sides for clamps from the sides. I will not EVER use anything without having my gear on arms. Never again. Even my mic has a VESA adapter to use a monitor arm.
I do a lot of coaching from my desk helping people getting Reaper set up, etc..., and so I switch mics at my desk a lot. That mic is way overkill for a control room mic, but it's great for VO.
@@BoothJunkie Yeah, I bought one. I love it. Absolutely smokes my old NT1-A. But that is why I asked. Seemed like overkill, but your use case makes a whole lot more sense. Thanks!
It's actually not that wobbly -- perhaps it appears so becuase its on casters that were unlocked. There is some movement, which I address in the video, but I have several thousand dollars worth of equipment on the desk in this video, and none of it is at any risk.

And still gives an honest review of the pros and cons. Much respect.

I’ve been looking for something just like this! Thanks for covering this Mike!

Thank you for the head's up on the keyboard tray moving. That's a dealbreaker for me, and I appreciate you sharing that.
Great, honest review brother. Thank you for taking the time and energy to create this video for us.
Time for me to make my own as this isn't as high quality and large enough for my needs.
Thank you very much for that review! Very helpful for decision making! Much appreciated! 😊
I wish I had room for something like that. Enjoy it Mike it's a killer workstation
your audio sounds great.
Wait, you recorded this previously WITHOUT PANTS???

Yep -- great trick with the plexiglass! The cable management trays I have under the desk are held on by magnets.
@@BoothJunkie serious question. If you're just recording voiceovers and not doing much livestreaming, do you really need so much processing in real time ?
I want to see you do characters on D&D Critical Roll TH-cam Channel. Guest appearances, season regular?!?!
Hello fellow Critter! Love that these communities overlap
maybe I missed it. Is this actual wood or MDF?
Is there still a way to get one of these? This is the only one I've found that will fit my space but they seem to have stopped making them.

what microphone are you using to record your vids? you sound great
I wonder if you could replace the rack ears that are included with more standard ones.
hi great video. Did you assemble the desk or did the delivey person assemble for you? I'd to buy a studio desk but i'd rather have someone assemble the desk for me.

Nice cable management :D
the clamping issue and the rack ear stuff is a dealbreaker. shoot.

Looks like this isn't available anymore. I clicked the link and the page said "deleted."
Thank you for this review! What is the width of this desk?
hey booth junkie, quick question: Do your monitors shake when you are typing? I'm seeing them shaking all the time while you are using the table and I'm a bit concerned about that (thinking about buying this desk)
Hey Mike! Really appreciate the in-depth review! Question: does the keyboard tray get in the way at all when you're using the desk seated? Thanks!!
Dunno if you noticed but you can always adjust the desk by adjusting the height
I’m in love.
4 units of rackmount space, No?
What microphone was used to record your voice for this video? Sound is stupendous (naturally)!
That looks like either a Lewitt LCT 640 or a 540. One or the other
Can you easily remove the keyboard drawer when not in use (so it doesn't hit your knees at lower heights if you are just using the desk for typing)?
Its a standing desk for a reason….
Can the desk and monitor reflect sound and cause problems in your audio ? Also wondering about glass in windows.
Mike has an isolated audio booth separate from his editing studio. It's probably best to record audio in a well-treated space with limited reflective surfaces. He has several videos about using improvised spaces like closets using blankets and other sound-absorbing materials.

I will not EVER use anything without having my gear on arms. Never again. Even my mic has a VESA adapter to use a monitor arm.
Do you use that Lewitt as a control room mic?
I do a lot of coaching from my desk helping people getting Reaper set up, etc..., and so I switch mics at my desk a lot. That mic is way overkill for a control room mic, but it's great for VO.
@@BoothJunkie Yeah, I bought one. I love it. Absolutely smokes my old NT1-A. But that is why I asked. Seemed like overkill, but your use case makes a whole lot more sense. Thanks!
Namaste from India🇮🇳 🙏
👋🏻
Yo!
Is it me or is it super wobbly? Like my god that worse than a folding table from a camping shop WTH
It's actually not that wobbly -- perhaps it appears so becuase its on casters that were unlocked. There is some movement, which I address in the video, but I have several thousand dollars worth of equipment on the desk in this video, and none of it is at any risk.
@@BoothJunkie Ahhh that makes sense.
