UPDATE: Congrats to our winner Chris Burke!
I’ve compiled the finalists from all the entries submitted for the Home Studio Contest. It was pretty easy because I just took every submission and put them here for a vote….ummm yeahhhh all 4 of you. So one of these lucky people gets the Amazon Gift Certificate for $21.84 and mad props for the home studio setup.
So please browse through the submissions below and at the end of the post you’ll see a place to vote for each contestant. After a week I’ll announce the winner. Feel free to pass along and tell your friends to vote for yourself, bribe people, do whatever is needed. As long as you encourage them to subscribe to the site

fun fact: the art and furniture is all original stuff that i created and built.
not pictured in mine but certainly very important to the studio.. the recording room.. (its the next room over) a snake runs from my ux8 through the wall to the next room.. where we have a vocal booth using a shure KSM 44 for vox) a guitar station, using a Line 6 X3 Live for amp modeling, and a drum station which uses the shure pgdmk6 drum micing kit
I think Chris gets a few extra points for the Starbucks. lol.
unfortunately I cannot take points for starbucks, as it only looks like starbucks.. its actually from "Amazing Coffee".. a place just down the road from my office… great fair trade coffee (much better than starbucks) but, way cheaper! if only they had fancy drinks like starbucks… then I would never leave that place..
boo ya! I win!! this is perfect, because there is something on Amazon that I need for the church tech team, that you cant get ANYWHERE else!
Congrats Chris! Well done sir, well done. I will email you your Amazon Gift Certificate today.
What are the "mad props for home studio set up" that you also won??? Cheers…
Chris's Daddy in PEI!!!
Too much Apple…
