Setting Up a Space
Having a comfortable work space is critical to working efficiently. If your gear isn't readily available, you aren't going to be as likely to use it, so don't cram yourself into a corner someplace or exile yourself to a basement.
Being comfortable is vital to working efficiently. You can either make do with the tables and chairs you already own or invest in studio furniture. Yes, they make furniture just for this kind of thing! But before you furnish your studio, establish your main focus. For most people, easy access to their primary instrument is their greatest concern. Then comes placement of the recording device or mixer. If you use a computer, do yourself a favor and put the computer on the floor if you can. This will free up much-needed desk space. Figure 3-2 shows a well-organized recording space.
