Organizing your studio I need your Tips

[oscarmartz]

Hello everyone. I am of dedicating one of the rooms in my house to record my podcast ( a studio) Right now everything is a mess. Wires going everywhere. Computer stuff hanging everywhere. I would like some tips as to getting organized I want to do the best cable management I can

Strip the room and start from scratch with a goal of reducing your stuff by 1/4 or greater. If it isn't functional or if it's something you only use once a month, then move it out.

I agree with Dan. Start from Scratch and clean it up. I recently did that to my office and i was shocked at the amount of wires i removed

[Podnutter]

I agree clean up what you dont use and get it out of there. Good cable management goes a long way.

Velcro wire straps are your friend!

Yes, I agree cable management is an art. I've seen some studio tours' that look like a Fire Marshal's worst nightmare! Conversely, I’ve seen a couple of studio vids were some of us Pagans have invested in studio grade furniture. Typically, these include built-in wire routing channels, and spacious work surfaces vs. particleboard variants.

Of course the downside is that pro-grade stuff is ridiculously expensive, so I guess it just depends on our priorities. Now, I also agree that content is key, although I have a hard time taking a webcast seriously when a studio is untidy or filled with toys. At a minimum, folks may consider losing their troll dolls, scattered magazines, action heroes, and even those cool looking lava lamps.
