#1 Sharing co-working space with my wife.

#2 my home office! (I transitioned from music industry work into data science over the last few years)

how do u make these trasitions? I was thinking if getting this midi keyboqrd, how do u feel it?

@funvengeance took a lot of hard work over a few years and I had some non technical expedience in tech which assisted me. If you look up my post history there are a few long posts from throughout that process. I’m 3 weeks into my first serious data science role now (and currently WFH!).

@funvengeance the faders are a little jumpy but ok for most things, the encoders are quite nice — good acceleration curve. The pads are average but fine for cliplaunching or sampling/slicing. X/Y pad is decent. The best part is the keys which have a great feel and are nice and expressive with a wide range of velocity curves. Lots of customisation possible for all functionality. I would rebuy.

Looks like an acute lack of monitors

@electrineer haha, that’s something that I miss from work! I get by though.

@molaram what factors here would you say contribute? I’ve had repetitive issues in my music career when playing double bass a lot but in computing I’ve used this kind of highly raised screen for a long time and I find it very comfortable. Any setup I’m working with gets tweaked endlessly until it works perfectly for me ergonomically. I’ll welcome anyones insight or point of view though.

@OscarSouth the angle of your wrists is important, and doing the same thing for a long time is bad

@electrineer these are things that I think about and analyse day to day — the steep angle actually helps me a lot as I only move my hands to the keyboard to type (‘free floating’) rather than resting in that position long term.
