If you don't need speaker plinths or rackspace

I haven't used either of these myself, but I will say the 1st one looks to be far better; you have way more room for seating positions (and the first one looks restricted) and it also looks way better constructed.

Don't let the keyboard be a deal breaker - it's piss easy to install an aftermarket one or even make one yourself to be added.

I have the Creation Station, which is the older, bigger brother to this one. I've had it for 6 years or so and it's been a great desk, considering the price. That said, I think tehlord and RANN's suggestions are good - if you don't need the rack space or speaker platforms, look for a decent office desk and add a keyboard tray.

One thing to consider, though, is the height of your video monitor(s). Many of the dedicated studio desks have monitor stands that elevate your monitor too high, such that you're looking up at them. That's not ideal, and obviously there's no way to lower them. With an office desk/table, you can elevate the monitors to the proper viewing angle using the monitor's own built-in stand and/or a cheap video monitor stand (or books, etc.). I personally use my Creation Station as a music workstation only, and have my computer at a separate desk. The monitor stand is too high on the Creation Station IMO.

Thanks guys, looks like I'll be aiming for the top one in my OP. tehlord, I have something similar now. Basically a huge rectangular chunky beat-up thing from ikea. It was on clearance though and pretty bulky, and I'm probably going to be moving stuff around once I start adding sound treatment. I think the casters on the top one would help with that.

RANN, I'm in Philadelphia, PA.

You do realize it was Woody, and not RANN, who asked that question, right?

Fuck, if I had the storage place I'd drive over and get it. Where are you at btw?

i don't get why every desk seems to have the screen at an angle that will kill your back. You should be looking down not up. Most people would be better served with a very simple stand for screens , mouse , keyboard, piano which can extend past and allow room for stands.

my old setup which is pretty much my new setup except the room is bigger. Speakers at ear level. Looking down at the perfect angle. And a piano all using a basic wooden rectangle. If the desk won't allow you to sit with your legs and back at the right angles looking at the right angle, it isn't worth paying for.

And with IPS monitors, you can your screenss almost horizontal now. it is not normal looking up and if you spend any amount of time , you are going to fuck up your back.
