What is your home studio creative space like?

Hey,

What is your home studio creative space like? Do you have a dedicated room for music or any creative space spot in your house?

Maybe you work with a laptop on a sofa in the mornings and in the evening in another room for music?

Got one big room for a studio and all kinds of work, including home office.

I found it effective to have my laptop near the sofa. This way, when I can't stand the desk anymore, I can lay down and still be productive.

Would be nice to have a dedicated space, but it's pretty much made up of a laptop stand on the desk in my home office. I'm just about entirely in the box, with the core being a workstation laptop repurposed from a prior-gen gaming laptop, and a couple of mini-controllers (keyboard and pads/knobs) small enough to live under the laptop stand.

I work most with it there, because it also attaches to the bulk external drive with my sample libraries on it, but for sketching/prototyping or tracks that don't need the sampled instruments I tend to move it around, not outside too much as it doesn't have much battery, but right now I'm posting from it sitting at the kitchen table having a midnight snack and installing plugin updates

I guess for playing around with music on the go I've got Cubasis and some plugins on my phone, but I can't say they get a lot of use, I find it much easier to work with a full-size screen and movable windows...

I’m lucky enough to have a dedicated room in the house.

Spare bedroom turned into a dedicated office/music laboratory.

My studio space is an entire wall of the second living room. -> old laptop + controllers + hardware synths + monitor speakers
I also use my "general purpose" PC in the living room for music, mostly with headphones. This one is more suited for CPU-heavy plugins.

A corner desk in a downstairs bedroom -- also in the room is my spouse's desk, a big aquarium, and a broken recliner that doesn't recline. So it's pretty crowded.

I kind of want to move my stuff to the other spare bedroom or even into the living room, for a little more room and quiet (especially when the water level in the aquarium is a little low, or someone decides that while I'm working on music is the perfect time to practice her dulcimer). But it's where both of us and the dogs hang out all the time, and if our computers weren't in the same room we'd probably rarely see each other.

And a bed, I assume?

Nope! It's a 3BR house, so master and guest rooms upstairs and "office" downstairs.

So it's not a bedroom then

So it's not a bedroom then

According to realtors it is, according to reality it is not. Sometimes, for reasons that will never be clear to me, my wife calls it "the second bedroom" which makes the ones that are upstairs and across from each other the first and third bedrooms...

And yes, this confusion led to a box being "missing" for 12 years since the day we moved here

We live in older victorian style home with tall ceilings. I have been able to use one of the three floors for the studio. None of the rooms are large and I was limited as some of the walls are load bearing. It took a few summers to get it built/renovated. Three rooms are truly sound proofed in that you can play live drums in there and not disturb the rest of the house (double walled, floating floor, neoprene pucks, air gap 5, layers of Quiet Rock etc) Two other rooms are quiet but you can't track drums in them if someone is home. Not shown in the photos is the AMP room. My son has moved some stuff in there so it is not in the best shape to use for now. The rest of the rooms are not treated but suitable for jamming out ideas and editing video material. One room is a full apartment so clients could stay overnight, shower and get to work. The studio is private now, I took on paying projects so I could afford the gear and building materials. A handy friend and lots of swearing completed the work. I couldn't afford to get someone else to build it for me. My wife has been very supportive.

when i was a teen, one of my mates (well a few did) lived by the park here in an old victorian house.
we used to practice in his bedroom, i remember one day, i cut myself, so they carried on and i went downstairs to get a plaster off his mum
and even without any additional soundproofing measures, those old houses were built well! you could hear it, but his mum and dad were sat below us watching tv, while we had drums, bass, 2 guitars and a vocalist

our house was a 60s build, you could hear a gnat fart from a different room walls like paper.

It's a fooking mess,but it's colorful
