Useful links: The greatest Studio Desks or your Desk of…
Above you see pics of our studio desk transformation. Oli and I were using an Argosy desk for nearly 6 years and by upgrading our studio to protools 9 we decided to get a new desk as well. An AKA Pro Wave! Why? The new cinema display wouldn’t fit and arms were no option for us. You will find a complete post about our new studio setup with gear list here asap.
The idea for the post was born, while we were looking for a new studio desk. We checked almost any dealer and manufactor around the globe eand recognized pretty fast : A great desk matching all our needs and expectations is hard to find, especially if you wanna spend not more than a certain budget.
In general, the desk is really related to your personal preferences in a) design and material b) needs and c) budget.
The best manufactors we found:

Budget wise the best desk is the one you build from scratch. This ideas and links I found very valuable and if I would be more talented, I would go for that option.
