Why you need to build a home studio during Covid19!

With over 20 million cases and counting worldwide, it's safe to say that COVID19 has had a substantial impact on every industry imaginable. This includes the recording industry. With new safety protocols in place, musicians everywhere have it rough.Whether you work in a professional capacity or not, there's no better time to build a home studio. Why Build a Home Studio Now? Why not? Several countries around the world are on lockdown or have some type of curfew in place to reduce the spread of COVID19. As a result, many of us are spending more time at home and less time out in the real world.If you've ever thought about setting up a home recording space in the past, there's no better time than now Social Distancing at Its Finest Social distancing guidelines make working in a professional studio out of the question.They're close and intimate settings. Even in large studios, staying six feet away isn't really practical. You can't social distance when you're crowded around a console or laying down tracks in a cramped booth. That's not even mentioning the issue with masks or the potential for bacteria to spread through microphones. With your own home studio, you don't have to worry about any of that. It's your own personal space to create.If you're worried about how working alone will affect your creativity, don't fret! You can still collaborate with musicians remotely. Modern tech makes that easier than ever. Read the full article
