Recording Studio Furniture - factors to consider when buying.

Today there is so much variety in recording studio furniture. Finding what meets your needs shouldn't be a problem.



When it comes to choosing recording studio furniture I consider factors like,
#1. price
#2. quality
#3. compatibility
#4. future plans
#5. comfort.

#1. Price.

I suggest that you only pay what you need to pay. No more! Why pay $400 when a $300 product can do the task? It's true that sometimes the studio furniture which costs $400 is of a better quality, but not always. Sometimes you buy the more expensive product and end up paying for features that you never use.

If at the end you think that the more expensive piece of recording studio furniture is right for you, ensure that you're getting value for money and that you have use for the features it offers.


#2. Quality.

This one is pretty straightforward. I don't buy junk. I'm not saying I never have, but I usually find that buying poor quality musical equipment puts me in more expense later. I end up going back to buy something of more quality. My advice? Save yourself a headache and buy top quality recording studio furniture.


#3. Compatibility.

It makes no sense to buy studio furniture which is not compatible with the musical equipment you already have in your studio.

Let's say you're buying a studio workstation. You should take a look at factors such as the size of your musical equipment and the number of gear you already have, before making a purchase. You should ensure that you have no problems when it comes to fitting your keyboards, computer, mixers or effects unto that piece of recording studio furniture.

#4. Future plans.

You certainly don't want to buy a piece of studio equipment like a studio rack only to find out that a few years later it can't accomodate all the effect units that you've 'piled up'. You want to make sure that it has enough spaces so that later down the road your effects can still be stacked up on that rack and be easily accessible. This is why I like studio racks or stands which are expandable. I suggest that you think of future demands, for whatever piece of furniture you're deciding on.

#5. Comfort.

Whether it's songwriting, performing or recording, you will be more productive in a comfortable environment. The type of recording studio furniture you choose will certainly have an effect on your degree of comfort.

With all the various designs that are available, you may want to buy recording studio furniture which is built with a musician's comfort in mind. When you're at work, you want everything to be within arm's length. If you were buying something like a studio speaker stand, you may want to consider factors like height and adjustability.

All the best, my friend.
