The end of an era! I would imagine this is already on your video idea list, but I'd be very curious about which pieces you decide to put in storage and which to bring into the spare bedroom and why--whatever the reasons are. I find it helpful when musicians talk about their gear in ways that don't just boil down to what the specs are, you know?
bro you're lucky, I had to move from a house I was renting for 16 years, i was told I could rent it forever but then something bizarre happened with the owner and I had to suddenly leave,. So now I'm living year to year on 12 month leases in expensive apartments I don't like, but cannot be choosy, as there is a very hardcore housing crisis where i am, and I'm spending 2/3 of my income just on rent. So if it goes up anymore or I'm forced to move again I will literally be made homeless and have to live in my car with my dog, my synths and my daughter. I'm 59 and have no house I own and no wealth or family to rely on. I'm desperate just to find somewhere to be able sleep take care of my daughter and dog and well my synths, its becoming harder and harder to just keep hold of them. Be grateful for what you have cause it can be taken away in an instant.
I really feel for you. I hate moving, particulary with loads of computer and audio equipment which almost never seems to survive unscathed. I've recently just this year set up my studio and I don't plan on having to do it again! Once you have everything placed ergonomically and your workflow is as good as you can get it, having to do violence to that setup is really painful. Good luck with your move and here's to a positive change and good things in the New Year!
this video offers more value than you know. it made my day. good luck in your new studio. i constantly battle between having GAS because i love technology and i love different musical instruments. at the end of the day, i always come back to the creative process. i want to make music, not be a collector. it can be easy to forget that.
Best of luck with the move and the newest chapter of life. I'm so glad its not the end of the channel. I wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Moving stinks, but things tend to be easier the second time. As you plan your new studio, with all the lessons learned over the years in that space, you’ll be able to make the new space just that much better. With the transition space, you’ll be able to appreciate the new space just that much more. While in the service I had to move all over the place for years. It was always hard (moving stinks), but looking back I’m grateful for all the places I got to see, and I have an appreciation for times that are unadventurous. Every time you go somewhere new, you gain a new perspective. This is almost always a good thing-even if it doesn’t feel like it at the time. Good luck to you, sir! Looking forward to seeing you broadcast from new spaces.
When I'm building a studio, I want to have it in a similar way as you. I want to be able to put a synth in front of me and plug it in. And it should just work.
I feel you man. It's been years that I started buiding my own space and with a really small budjet so eveything moves slowly, just thinking of saving for a proper desk, so I calculated that I could maybe acquire it on 7 months or so.. to get forward. It requires much discipline, but thats life! Just have to remember that waiting something new can teach you and be worth much more than you think...
Good luck, and enjoy setting up your new space! I've had the same room for the last 15 or so years, but I've recreated it many times. I always hate the teardown, boxing if needed, etc. but setting up the new space from scratch is always a fun experience (at least once the basics are in place).
I think separation of work and discovery is fundamental. Work should be based upon consolidated protocols: basically tools (like synths, devices) that have been tested and work well to serve your process. No work should depend on new devices that, at first, seem promising, but have a bunch of bottlenecks that need to be addressed. Thats the time for Discovery processes, that will pan out all the troubleshoots and hiccups that one might face during a work session, where you dont want to be interrupted by these hiccups. Good luck on your move and new studio!
Don’t worry, many of us producers have had to downsize because of the past few years. I had a space like that till 2020. As for me, it’s forced me to have a mobile set up with a good set of m20x. And with this set up I’m actually putting out more music because it’s convenient
I am in the process of renovating my studio. My gear is all in storage besides a few pieces. I have a small temporary setup in my bedroom currently. This small setup is making me rethink all the gear in my studio. I am having more fun with an octatrack, a syntakt and one synth than I had with my entire studio. I am seriously considering buying some shelves for gear storage and continue in the newly renovated studio with minimal gear hooked up that can be changed out for other gear on the fly.
Oh man, troubleshooting for hours only to learn that there was one faulty cable somewhere along the line sums up like 90% of my learning process so far.
with you. re: disruption - always have a list of different types of jobs. Then, when a piece of equipment is out of action, you already have other things you can work on. This is probably easier when you aren't relying heavily on synths. I can just do some experimenting on acoustic guitar if I can't use any electronics.
Don't mean to pry ~ and don't know if you addressed this on a different video.... But I am curious as to Why you are moving the studio, and where you are moving it to... I have heard nightmare stories of rental spaces (Homes and commercial) that were converted into a functioning studio, but - when the owner/landlord decides to sell, re-rent, terminate lease, etc... The studio is then gone, and one must start again... I am in a position where as I NEED a space (I had a school band room for 2 decades, - retired from teaching - then had a retail store for 1 decade - sold that biz/building)... Now everything I own (a LOT), is in 2 storage units for over a year - while I decide what to do/where to go)... My decision is to Build my own studio - from the ground up - in my backyard - about a 650 sq.ft. 'pro level' recording studio... which has become a significant investment!... But it is All Mine!... That is my story, and I am sticking to it! All the Best with your move... will certainly be following... Would Love to see the move in & set up process step by step - if you were planning to document that... BTW ~ Love your channel!... As a retired "Old Fart" - attempting to become musically "successful" at this late age, you are one of my inspirations and motivations... Thanks!!

I am very sorry for the struggle you're going through. May you find a stable, safe, and affordable place to live soon.

You should probably sell the iridium for a few weeks and buy it back later.
this video offers more value than you know. it made my day. good luck in your new studio.

Good luck on the move. I hope to see more videos from you soon. Your videos and your guide has helped with how I think about music. I appreciate you.
Best of luck with the move and the newest chapter of life. I'm so glad its not the end of the channel. I wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
I felt so connected with your words. Facing almost the same aspects of “journey”. Love it. Thanks.
Both congratulations and condolences (moving is... well). I look forward to what the future brings!

Good luck to you, sir! Looking forward to seeing you broadcast from new spaces.
Looking very very forward to the process of building the new studio and of course to the new studio itself.
Thank you!
Best of luck with the move, and I hope your smaller space will be inspiring until you have your bigger studio.
When I'm building a studio, I want to have it in a similar way as you. I want to be able to put a synth in front of me and plug it in. And it should just work.
Enjoyed watching your journey. All the best for your future!! See you on the other side.
Congratulations good sir
Good luck and godspeed

I can relate, I hope your move is smooth.
Nothing wrong with being sentimental. I wish you the best in your new space!

Don’t forget to take that big box of harmony with you🎶
