Windows? I specifically arranged shit to maximise the window views ![:D]( "Very Happy")
I switched to a laptop to gain freedom and properly utilise the living situation we are blessed with- I can move between:
Open air/windows as walls:
Sitting on the pier/beach side garden with headphones, or facing the sea on the glass porch when it's colder (which is most of the time around here![:D]( "Very Happy")
)
Facing big windows with windows everywhere, also above me:
Main living room looking at the sea with my big hifi 2.1 setup (huge, 5m high room in a wooden house leads to very nice acoustics)
Windows to the right and back:
Secondary living room downstairs (lightly treated for home cinema) with a Genelec 2.1 setup
Facing one single window:
I very rarely sit in the downstairs actual studio room because it has so little natural light compared to the rest
Windows above me and to the sides, facing the forest:
My actual favourite creative spot, the loft where my guitar amp and analog stuff is spread on the floor like toys, with small near field monitors... I often don't actually bring the laptop here, just play, get lost in the music and maybe record with a Zoom if I really feel like it. Garbage ergonomics and acoustics compared to the rest, but somehow so inspiring! I always dreamt of having a loft when I was a kid, now it's my personal space, sort of like a man-cave but it's a man-loft![:D]( "Very Happy")
I sometimes check my mixes at work where we have a professionally treated demo room hosting Genelec 8361As and no windows at all![:o]( "Surprised")
Earlier with a windows tower PC I was stuck in the studio room with only one small window and it was quite depressingindeed. I guess I've slowly given up on it, robbing equipment piece by piece for the other spaces, and I'll probably repurpose it soon for another guest room. It just feels so closed in, even though it's supposedly the proper place for making music.
