Demo: Part 18 of 286 steps to a killer studio
Topics: Studio | Leave a Comment
Today managed to rip my lazy arse off the couch and get some work done on the basement studio. It’s only been in planning for about 3 years, so it’s not like there’s reason to be hasty about it. Instead of electrocuting myself I took a trip to the local Ace Hardware (after getting a falafel no doubt) and purchased a non-contact electrical tester.
After flipping some breakers I knocked out the small wall that held the old door to the room that was my ’studio’ – there was a couple switches in the wall that had to be handled with care. I got the studs/footer/header out and managed not to do anything that would require a tetanus shot (unlike last weekend).
I also laid out where the new walls will go with masking tape. Damn, it will be awesome once this is done.
I had a small revelation today. There’s always been a fitting spot to put my KX88 in my new studio layout, but now that I have my turntables here in Seattle (which take up the same amount of space {18″ + 48″ approx}), I wasn’t sure how to fit everything in. A few days ago Kim came up with the great idea of having the keyboard on drawer slides mounted under the turntables, so that I could slide the KB out and back in as needed. Brilliant! Today’s revelation was that it was probably more feasible to just put the KB stand on a wagon – same effect (slide out/in when needed) and no need for major supports in the wall for mounting slides.

Today’s ambition was brought to you by:
It’s caffeine and 12% ‘premium’ malt liquor – basically legal speed ball.
