i will say that leather computer chairs EAT SHIT for production

i end up using the most uncomfortable chair i have just because you cant relax too much in it

go back to russia - you commie.

So I'm gonna lose the desk and put this shit on the floor on boxes, speakers on the other side of the room. who's with me?

I migrate back & forth from having my setup on the floor to a chair stylee. I like both for different reasons. I just switched from a floor based setup to a chair oriented studio for a number of reasons, but will still use the floor for some things, & may switch back to the floor again if I move my studio to a new location. Ideally, everything I have would be on hydraulic lifts to accommodate both setups!

Here's one of the nicest studios I've ever seen:

I have my fondest memories in life from a time when my mattress was on the floor

mine is still there..

Same here, there isn't enough height for a bed so I sleep on the floor

Your ceiling is only 4 feet high? Are you a hobbit?

love it

This is my next move.....

I thought about this today and really liked the idea. I'm not sure if I'm going to the floor or the stand up studio now. When I was a teenager I used to bring egg crates out to the front room with a sampler/drum machine and record player and make crappy tunes on cassette. So there is that memory that makes me fond of that type of set up. But I think my 30 year old knees might not dig it so much anymore.

your right on .
fuck sitting at a desk.

I agree mess usually inspires you somehow

For me its my 43 yr old ass. I am sitting down so long that I am doing something bad nerve wise, legs and feet go tingly. I figure if I force myself to stand (and lean on my desk like a bar if necessary) I will have to keep my body moving and the weight on my feet. I already stand up when I play guitars anyways. I will still have to do a lot of sitting for other stuff, but at least there will be less of it.

same here,making music while sitting makes me feel like i'm 65 years old or something.

^^^

that's why i have setup my joint 70% sitting and 30% standing... that way i have some physical action as well and keep on moving, get less tired and keep myself in action... sitting the whole day is killing so is standing. you need a change.

Id like to see some pics of your stand up studio?

I'm retarded so I don't know how to sit on my chair, so I allways have a feet under my ass on the chair, and then I allways have serious "itching" in one leg... call me dumb but I really like the stand up idea.

cheers
