Studio Journal + four-part series

One Weekend of Making the Room Work

This weekend was not about building the perfect home studio. It was about making the room easier to enter. I wanted a space where a guitar could be picked up, drums could be played, a friend could plug in, and an idea could happen before the computer had a chance to turn it into a setup job.
