OK.

Need some inspiration and a few ideas.
Who has a tiny home recording set-up?
Photos?

Let's see how organized you can be in the smallest amount of space!

Thanks

"organized" = not a total disaster/ you can get plugged in quickly!

My setup has changed a little bit since this photo. I now have my JC120 under my desk and my pedals that were in the crate under the Moog are now spread around pretty haphazardly in front of the chair. Also the bass and guitar necks lie on the corner of the Rhodes and desk.

Overall, this setup is treating me real nice in a corner of my room

Yeah that space in the picture above is what I would consider almost huge... I guess people living in cities like Tokyo, NY, Paris, etc. have a different definition of tiny ;).

Panoramic makes it look more spacious. this room doesn't even qualify as a spare bedroom. Somehow we have the whole band in there. Recording is done via a scarlett 18I8 into ableton.

Yes the Japanese have a knack for utilizing even the smallest of spaces. Watch some of their architecture tv programs. Amazing how they can fill spaces with more storage capability. No space is wasted.

Yeah, well, I've been living there for a while so I know that first-hand :). I shouldn't complain, we have a relatively spacious place for central Tokyo but I'm far from having a dedicated noise room, sadly.

Anyway, for any space related to some creative activity, the main thing in my opinion is to be able to start doing what you want without having to spend 5-10mn moving things around, plugging/unplugging stuff, etc. Once you have that you can start thinking about proper monitoring, etc.

The smaller the better.
How low can you go?

I would love to see what people here use for home recording. I have nothing to contribute sadly.

My living space. Apartment recording sort of blows. If there is one thing I want, it is space. Property is where it's at.
