Setting up a home studio is super exciting for any creative person. It’s your very own spot for making music, recording podcasts, or whipping up video content. But turning a spare room or a basement corner into a functional and inspiring workspace takes a bit more than just plugging in your gear. To really get the best out of it, you’ll want to think about the space itself, how you power everything, and the kind of light you’re working with.

Creating Your Creative Space

How you lay out and organize your studio makes a huge difference to how smoothly you work and how comfortable you feel. First off, even if it’s not a separate room, try to define your space. You can use rugs or furniture to create a visual boundary. And don’t forget ergonomics! Your chair, desk height, and where your monitor sits should let you work for hours without getting all stiff and strained.

Acoustics are another biggie. No need to build a fancy sound booth to make your room sound better. Simple things like heavy curtains, a fluffy rug, or even a bookshelf packed with books can help soak up those rogue sound reflections. This means cleaner recordings and more accurate monitoring.

Band Members Bill, Sean Paul and Steven in Happier Times

On Monday April 18th, while on tour with the band Aficionado in Cincinnati, OH, roots-punk band Nightmares For A Week awoke to a real life nightmare: their van had been broken into.

The band has posted pictures of the gear that was stolen on their Facebook page (http://facebook.com/nightmaresforaweek) so if you live in the Cincinnati  area, please take a look at the local pawn shops and keep an eye out for the gear.

Black Halos Gear Stolen in Montreal!

Black Halos

The Black Halos are an awesome bunch of guys that are one of my favorite garage/glam rock bands as well as being good friends of mine. A couple of nights ago the band’s van was stolen after they played a gig in Montreal. The van contained all of their equipment and merchandise. Like all working bands, the Halos do not have the funds to replace this equipment and are both emotionally and financially devastated. Those of you who know me well know that I have in the past been the victim of grand larceny and that my feeling on the subject is that stealing is just as bad as murder.
