CC Ricers Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 With my new job I can finally afford to build a small hardware studio. I just got Roland MC-505 and as more instruments eventually make their way in, I have to reorganize my room around them. Thing is, I live in a small apartment and power and room is a big factor. So there are some questions I'd like to ask. How do you manage power and space? Especially from those that live in small places like I do. There are few outlets in my bedroom. I need to use this room because it's the only one with a PC, but the PC uses a powerstrip that takes up both outlets on one wall. There is also some DJ equpiment that shares the other outlet. They're all hooked up with standard power strips. Where does that leave room for my music production gear? My brother uses my room to play guitar sometimes, and I often have to unplug one device to hook up his amp. With other equipment expected in the future, this will no longer be acceptable. So you bedroom studio-producers, how do you pull it off? What power equipment should I buy? Should I invest in a backup supply? It's not uncommon to have the circuit breaker to flip when the whole PC+guitar shebang is on and suddenly the AC's needed in the next room.
