I moved recently to a bigger and better place in Leyton with my girlfriend, and not only is the studio an upgrade but we have enough space to rent out our dining room for co-working during the day now too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1600\/1*wh6959ncpxjWw7xQF6dQXg.png\" alt=\"Sam in his home studio\"\/><figcaption>Sam in his home-studio in&nbsp;London<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>As a musician yourself, how important is it do you think to find the right space to record and produce in?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s very much part of my personality to make my surroundings as nice as I can, I\u2019m a massive neat freak and love everything to be as ergonomic and hassle free as possible, so that has always extended to my music setup too. I guess a lot of musicians work \u2018on the fly\u2019 but I love being in a familiar space that I know really well and feel totally comfortable in. I also hate people hearing a work in progress, so it\u2019s a real luxury to have a room that I can make as many weird noises as I want in without being overheard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>What are some of the most important inclusions in a home studio?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a very glamorous answer but now software is so good the vast majority of production can be done on a computer, especially electronic stuff. Recording live acoustic instruments and vocals well requires a quiet and acoustically treated space though. I\u2019d say second to the computer the best speakers and audio interface you can get your hands on are pretty crucial, and again the speakers ideally need to be in a well treated space so that you know what you\u2019re hearing is \u2018accurate\u2019 and will translate well across as many devices as possible. Everyone\u2019s different but in my experience mixing on headphones doesn\u2019t turn out well compared to mixing on speakers. Also I\u2019d say spend as much as you can afford on a high quality and diverse microphone or two and branch out from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>In your own studio, there seems to be a lot of little personal touches. What are some of your favourites?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m pleased with the laptop stand that I made, It\u2019s an arm that pivots at two places so that I can move the laptop from instrument to instrument and easily press record etc while I\u2019m playing. The laptop sits on a rubber-painted wooden dish with holes for wires to poke out at the sides so that I can put all the hard drives etc etc that I need neatly underneath, I really hate clutter! The keyboards all pull out away from the wall on their scaffold stands that I made which also makes life a lot easier, so they tuck away when not in use. The general idea is that everything is really accessible and always set up as much as possible so that nothing breaks the creative flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1600\/1*4aP_qAYbsABgTwlbuWny1w.png\" alt=\"Sam's home studio\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/l\/sound-terrace-studio-leyton\/6122044d-974c-4d30-8d7f-a083a1fef931\" target=\"_blank\">Sam\u2019s music studio, available to rent on&nbsp;HotPatch<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>For other musicians who may be starting off, what do you think are some of the advantages in renting equipment and space like yours, over building your own studio?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Building up an arsenal of expensive equipment and the experience to know how to get the best out of it takes a long time, so until you feel you\u2019re at that stage it\u2019s great to be able to go and try things out with someone like me\u200a\u2014\u200aI think it\u2019s important as a producer to teach people whatever they\u2019re interested in about gear etc as you go through the process of making music together, so they can go on to make informed decisions about improving their own setup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned so so much from working with the guy who produced my first album. Alternatively though getting into the nitty gritty, technical side of production understandably isn\u2019t for everyone, so for musicians that want to focus on just the music hopefully a space like mine will enable them to do that, with me filling in the technical gaps or adding extra instruments they don\u2019t play themselves etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>Do you have any advice to other owners of studio\/home space?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d say if people have got to the point of owning their own studio then it isn\u2019t really for me to offer them advice, everyone does things differently which is the beauty of working with different people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5><strong>Where can people find you if they\u2019re interested in seeing more of your work?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>My website is&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/samthomasmusic.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">samthomasmusic.com<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Sam\u2019s debut album \u2018<em>Blind Theatre<\/em>,\u2019 is available to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.justmusic.co.uk\/releases\/blind-theatre\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">buy<\/a>&nbsp;or<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/7qmtlnR2uY59othuD2icjp\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;stream<\/a>&nbsp;online.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you that person \u201clooking for<em>&nbsp;music studios near me?\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>Or for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/s?address=London%2C%20UK&amp;bounds=51.67234324898703%2C0.1482710335611201%2C51.38494012429096%2C-0.3514683384218145&amp;pub_category=music\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">music studios to rent in London<\/a>?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hotpatch.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HotPatch<\/a>&nbsp;to browse a full selection of rentable music studios today.
