Studio housekeeping, troubleshooting, and Maintenance

Following our recording sessions in March, we shifted our priorities to enhancing the studio space to further streamline the recording process and maintain equipment quality. 

One skill I learned was how to use a Die to make a thread on a steel rod. Rob and I made a small collection of threaded rods, which he then went and capped with plastic bears to serve as stress relievers for patch cables and headphone rests.

The following week, we turned the studio outward to take care of all of its power and patch cables. While Rob took care of a full new wire arrangement of the studio rack, I used his label maker to create accurate labels for each input and output.

To further streamline the studio rack, Rob used metal poles to cross from side to side, which served as stress relievers for the larger cable snakes.

I found these experiences to be very useful in the long run because they gave me insight into the day-to-day workings of a recording studio between recording sessions. With what I’ve learned at Neverending studios so far, I know much more about how to properly maintain recording studio to result in the fewest amount of issues when the next client comes in.
