Nice Clean Studio Space (NOT!)
- Thread starter Basslice
- Start date
My home studio doubles as a drying room for 3 hockey players. On a typical weekend we'll run through 2 practices, 2-4 games, and a gig or session. So far I haven't arrived anywhere missing anything critical! (jinx). Luckily 2 are prepubescent so the stench is not out of control.
It's the finished product that I care about so I am not judging any mess or neatness. People have their own style to achieve stuff I cannot do a lot of my projects without a control surface. I have 2 Behringers and one Studio logic which also doubles as a midi expression controller and I have a pedal start stop and an. I thing Esteban has one but only one fader. I will not control my DAW with a mouse anymore
I read this on the internet - so there!
Scientists discovered that messiness was a sign that you probably have a higher IQ than the average Joe.
A study by the University of Minnesota suggests, that the messy desk of geniuses is actually linked to their intelligence. If you don't spend much time cleaning and organizing everything around you, your mind is
occupied with more important stuff.
Even if things seem scattered everywhere, you know where everything is located and find it in a jiffy. It’s just that messiness and intelligence go hand in hand. It looks like you subconsciously leave things unorganized, because, in a way, it sparks your creativity. Consequently, we all know how creativity is a common trait of genius people.

Oh no, as an obsessively neat and tidy member of Mensa I seem to have single-handedly disproved that theory
I was going to take a picture... but I couldn't fit my phone into my practice space.
Except he didn't say that. Or at least he didn't say it until it appeared on an internet meme in the 2000's. It is unsupported, not attributed to him nor included in any official Einstein biography or official quote reference. Like so many internet agenda memes, the quote has been shown to be an amalgamation of similar and synonymic quotes. This one is a reference to the 'as within so without' perspective, of which I happen to agree. Either way, right or wrong, profound or obvious it isn't Einstein.
My little studio, man cave, CD storage and work space. The desk on a neat day with my Tascam 2488 tucked away but these days I use CuBase or Harrison Mixbus 7. The wall you don't see is all CD shelves full.
My studio is nowhere near as neat as some on this thread, but yours makes me feel better about what little mess I have.
This is a shot I took last night while watching McCartney 3 2 1. Low light hides some of the mess.....
no matter how much I tidy up it becomes a big mess as soon as I sit down.
I keep it relatively neat. I cant stand hunting for little things, cables, adapters, power supplies, spare string, DIs, mic mounting bits…so those are mostly in designated places. Label maker is one of the most important bits in the studio.
And you've even got a dunny paper roll on the shelf above the Egnator amp in case there is a bad mess made
Who says they're in mensa? LolOh no, as an obsessively neat and tidy member of Mensa I seem to have single-handedly disproved that theory

I do. And I even have a certificate to prove it, Mr Lol.
Not too bad. There is enough space to allow the clutter to evenly distribute. PV=nRT, ya know?
Quote: “I read this on the internet - so there!”
Must be true then.
Quote: “If a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign of?” - Albert Einstein
I belonged to a public speaking society, that met in the grandiosely decorous board room, of a famous local hospital.
Every time I attended, I looked in the office of Sir Richard Doll, a British epidemiologist who pioneered research linking smoking to health problems.
It was never tidy and always looked like a bomb had hit the place. Research folders, files, and scientific papers scattered all over the place. A complete mess.
Along with Ernst Wynder, Bradford Hill and Evarts Graham, Doll was credited with being the first to prove that smoking increased the risk of lung cancer and heart disease.
He was awarded the United Nations prize for outstanding research into the causes & control of cancer & the Bisset Hawkins medal of the Royal College of Physicians for his contributions to preventative medicine. At Oxford University he sat as the Regius professor of Medicine.
Doll was made a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1966, Knighted in 1971, and awarded the Edward Jenner Medal of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1981. Also in 1981, Doll became a founding member of the World Cultural Council. In 1996 he was made a Companion of Honour (CH) for "services of national importance".
International honours included the Presidential Award of the New York Academy of Sciences as well as a United Nations Award for his research into cancer. In April 2005, he was awarded the Saudi Arabian King Faisal International Prize for medicine jointly with Peto for their work on diseases related to smoking. In 2004, he was awarded the inaugural Shaw Prize for Life Sciences and Medicine for his contribution to modern cancer epidemiology. He was also awarded honorary degrees by thirteen different universities.

I would posit that the initial quoted presumption is wholly incorrect, and Albert Einstein’s question filled with perspicacious insight.
An empty desk is likely to be a sign of inactivity, in thought or practise.
By the way ,Albert Einstein gave a series of lectures here, a blackboard from his second lecture was preserved its equations connect the age, density and size of the Universe.
Neither Einstein, Doll nor Stephen Hawkins (who studied nearby) belonged to Mensa.
In regard to Studios and indeed Stages.
I do believe they should be clean, clear and tidy.
Wires can easily trip people; equipment can fall over and of course, both places are often darkened, making them doubly dangerous.
No professional studio or prestigious concert hall would permit themselves to be sued because accidents caused by lack of professionalism.
Ideally, follow best practise, proper studio protocols, learn from experts and do things the way they do.

My studio doubles as a cannabis grow room. It's...interesting..but heaven.
Looks really great, but envy makes me evil, so I just say to myself: It must sound awfull with all these windows, stones and no treatment at all.
