Price is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing recording studio furniture for your home. Fortunately, there are some ways to find good quality, inexpensive furnishings that will be ideal for your home music studio. Here are a few good tips to help you get started without costing a ton:
Surf the web - Besides shopping in regular music stores, you can get great studio furniture finds at different online stores and auction sites. Use eBay to look for great sales on both used and new products. Recording studio furniture shouldn't eat up more than fifteen percent of your budget if you are just a beginner. Save the zebra skin producer's chair until after you produce your first platinum record.
Go for a minimalist approach - Simplicity is key when choosing home recording furniture. It's a smart idea to get studio specific furniture because your racks and desks will be holding the weight of your most valuable equipment. Cover the essentials first; including a stable desk for your mixer and computer, an erogonomic studio chair, and component racks for the recorder and amplifiers. You can also make do by getting creative using doors for tables, cinder blocks, or even folding chairs if you're on a restricted budget.
Plan for the future - If you're thinking about expanding your home studio later on, keep this in mind when purchasing items like an effects rack. With the rack for example, be sure that it has enough spaces so that in the future, all your effects can be stacked on the rack while still being accessible. With good planning, you won't need to re-buy many pieces, which will save you money in the long run.
In these challenging economic times, it's vital to find ways to reduce costs. For budding recordists and musicians, this simply means getting inexpensive yet functional studio furniture. Just keep in mind the practical tips above and you'll be well on your way.
