Good evening.
I have not been posting anything meaningful for months. During the last year I had difficulties in focusing on anything rational and have been unexcitingly been recording sounds while standing the same table where I eat, watch tv and do my smart working routine.
I was sincerely considering to stop due to lack of enthusiasm, also because big part of my recording action for years have always been to simply go to a rehearsal room with mixer and digital recorder and use the amplifiers etc. That space has been vital for many years especially for vocals because the only way to record vocals are in one of the two bathrooms that, unfortunately is small and have a terrible reverb. All vocals recorded there sounded muddy. It's cool because it is 100% soundproof but has this terrible reverb.
A few months ago things changed and I organized myself very differently. I bought some reflection filters and et voilà issue solved.
I then created two "sound space" where I record now sounds. One is in the bedroom where I placed my multi-track, and from time to time I move there different synths and machines. That is where I record most of the noise/industrial parts. I still need to find something to place a stand to keep bigger synths, and chains of boxes. I go there at least 2 times a week for at least 2 hours.
Then I reorganized my working desk in the living room where I have my imac, and there I mix everything with some decent monitors. I also use a couple of midi controllers to record the more musical stuff foresta di ferro and collaborations.
I use it almost every evening, even if I am not "composing", simply to explore the endless sound libraries and VST I have.
Cool thing I can play quite loud because neighbors say they don't hear that.
