@@DjSuperK I've built my own desk more or less modeled after 2000$ high end producer desks last week. I had some tools but I'd say between the screws, paint, solid wood, mine is all pine, and machines you can buy, borrow or rent with 300$ to 500$, you're good to go. It's not that hard. I was just dedicated and careful. Edit : I'm clumsy af and the furthest thing from an expert wood-worker. It was my 1st time doing sthg like that ever. I'm just lucky to have had enough space to do it.

Thanks for reviewing this! I thought about getting a Platform table for so many times, but was never quite sure if it would work out for me.

The Output Desk is still an amazing contender and perfect solution for many. To me it gives you $2,000-$3,000 worth of studio space for a fraction of that. For space issues, I highly recommend printing or writing down all the specs, marking them off in your space with painters tape and getting a strong visual of this working in your home.

Well, Glorious Sound Desk Pro seems to be better. What do you think?

About to move into a new place with my own dedicated office/studio so I've been considering a desk like this. Thanks for the timely review.

Been looking at this desk for months now, but yeah, it is huge... Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it always good to have more info to weigh.

Thanks for the vid! Like you, I bought this (same finish) shortly after it came out and have really enjoyed it as the centerpiece of my studio. I do use the top shelf for monitors and an iMac, and a second monitor vertically mounted above the iMac screen. Also am using the 9u of space as follows: left side (Focusrite Clarett 8Pre, Focusrite Claret OctoPre, Samson S-Patch patchbay); center (Warm Audio TB-12 Tone Beast Preamp; iConnectivity Mio10 MIDI interface); right (1x Furman PL-PLUS DMC Power supply/conditioner; Musicians Gear MG900SC Power supply/conditioner). Because my desk is backed up to a wall/window, the patch bay and MIDI interface is really helpful because I don't have easy access to the back of the desk. Racking power and interface is also pretty convenient, and those are all connected to other things in the studio. My biggest pet peeve about the desk is that the keyboard tray has those really pointy corners in the center cutout, and I'm constantly banging my knees on them, which is really painful.

Great practical review of one of the better desks. I based by own modest design on this one. The plans are "Open Source". Just on that basis, this makes the business worth supporting if and when you have the means.

Nice video, I'm currently in the process of building my music room so... It's time to get a nice desk. Your video came just in time. Cheers.

I am finally ready to make the jump to this desk. I’ve always been dawless to the point that I think it’s a detractor, and part of that is because I don’t have rack space in front of me to put some expansion I/O mainly to process sounds once I record into DAW. Keyboard tray is also huge plus, frees so much desk space. I debated for a while but I think I’ll bite the bullet

Just found you. You made a really great first impression. I am not dawless at all but your philosophy resonates! Respect!!

It's soo interesting! You're the first person with radical views on the output desk. Everyone else, including myself, views their weaknesses as strengths, which would be perfect for me. But the fact that you put your opinion out there, means there must be others like you. For other producer friends, we like our screen there to see our midi input and plugins for piano or synth. And also I don't have another desk to place my keyboard on and having an under space actually is far more space-saving (so my other friends also agree) . Anyways, have a good one!

One day I'll have enough space to spread all my gear out permanently...! Looks like a good workspace solution but that price tag! You could buy some great music kit with that money lol. Great honest review though to be fair. Glad to have discovered your channel, all the best, Andy

It’s a beautiful desk. I’ve listed after it myself, but I’m also an apartment dweller and it’s just not practical. I would love, love, love if Output would consider making a small version (say, in the 47” wide neighborhood instead of the 60”). Thanks for the review and all that you do! Love the channel!

*lusted. Heh.

I love it . The trouble is the more your space needs expand or contract, i suppose the mentality is . Everything needs and must fit. In reality it doesn't you just end up having to mod stuff as you did to skip being forced to completely upgrade.

Lving the details n the deep dive.

Keyboard off to the side sucks big time because you lose workflow speed moving back and forth to the desk. Trays are almost mandatory assuming you use you keyboard fairly frequently.

I had the same problem with the separators not sinking all the way into the grooves of the top piece for your monitors. Unlike the instructions, I connected the two separators to the upside down top, flipped it over and inserted that assembly of three pieces into the table piece.

What is the width of the space of the keyboard tray before you modified it?? Would an Akai MPK249 fit there without the modification?

That's the problem a lot of us have. When you have a number of things, trying to get the perfect thing and put it in a place where it will stay...cause people like to move things after a period of time. Crazy as it sounds I was just as happy on my mv when I had it on a big box. It mean I could get close and it felt natural. And it was litterally a box. So sometimes (especially when size is an issue) we have to improvise and maybe it will never be perfect and i'm not going to lie that sucks lol.

Thanks for the brutal honest review. I was looking for ways to save space, and while a piano drawer will work perfectly for that, I’ll be looking for a smaller design.

I work best with piano on the side anyway!

Output's website has a keyboard compatibility chart to show which keyboards will fit.

Glad I saw this video, I was considering this desk but don’t think I could live with all those patched spots 🙁

Actually this video made me thinking about modifying my desk for music purposes. I could drill holes for cables an mount a rack system. It would be some handiwork required but even if I have no experience with wood. This could be totally worth it

What desk is that pictured @ 1:17 ?

Here's another comment lol, I move my stuff around a lot too. I started on drums and used to always have a new set up, one thing I live about the drums. It's carried over to producing. What I like about it is it usually clears out my energy and provides a freshness to my approach. And of course sometimes it's by necessity too if I'm in a shared space lol - speaking of drums, no one ever lets the drummer have enough space! Hahaha!

Just found this video as I was looking for the Sidecar review. Your two middle panels are inverted, that's why it's not aligned.

Sparkly earring is SPARKLY! (Good video as well.) ;)

Nice video. Im looking to get a desk too to put in my bedroom. my apartment is small since I have a roommate. when you got your desk, did you put it together or did you have somebody else put it together?

Immediately replying to the thumbnail: I'm loving my rolling stand under my desk

I can't believe 3 years ago it was $700, it's $1000 now!

Love the vid! How're you finding the Audiofuse Studio? I'm currently weighing up that and the 8Pre

The exact reason I built my own desk with the keyboard front and center as part of my dawless live looping setup

I ordered a Platform desk like 3 weeks ago, but sadly there is quite a long waiting line nowadays - 14-16 weeks. Due to the current situation.

Thank u real helpful🙏🏾

Awesome vid! I change my setup all the time too, I get bored very easily... Just spent a day on it yesterday, got all my old synths finally wired in. Excellent review, love the look of the Output desks, just wish they had a slightly more orange teak-like version!

Nice video Jade. I was looking for a proper desk for my small apartment and I found something similar to what you have, a bit smaller, but I have the same problem with the keyboard tray and my System 8 is going to be too tight. Would you mind explaining a bit how you expanded the space? I was thinking about doing something like that, but not sure how to do it, except for making new holes so I can have more space between the keyboard's controllers and the desk. Cheers!

Hello. I appreciate your video on Platform use. I did not understand exactly what you did to modify your key tray. I am putting mine together now. My wish has always been that the key tray was a few inches WIDER. Did you widen your tray? Anyway I would appreciate knowing what you did.

a lot biger ? thats what she said lol

so you're telling me your desk is twice as expensive as your monitors ???
