Studio Widows?

NorthWood_MediaWorks · July 28, 2015, 7:39pm

Hey all, just had an interesting chat with a house guest over the weekend, friend of a friend whom I’d not met before, and turns out to be a Logic user with a sem-pro studio. After the usual GAS and spec comparisons, I asked him how well the wife (he’s in his 30’s with a small kid) takes it when he goes into his “studio-trance”… you know, the one where you forget about time, eating, hygiene, the kids, etc… because you are wrapped up in a project, whether your own or a customer’s… I can relate, I zone out big time when I get the opportunity… (as recently as last night )

Anyone here got some good stories or life lessons for us? My other half endures my absences, or when I am working at home, bites her lip when she’s overheard the click for several hours, etc… perhaps not all “other halfs” are forgiving?

Wow, 30 views of this topic so far, and not one response. Are you all single? Or taking the 5th?

Hi all,

I have a very understanding “better half” who rarely gets to see me after 8:00 pm., in fact I think she welcomes the peace and quiet she gets while I am in my “mancave”!!!

Apparently she gets to catch up on the important things in life (TV soap’s, the talent shows, the dancing shows etc. etc.) so she appears to happy with my hobby!!

I must be blessed!!!

Cheers all,

Jim B

My biggest gripe (which really is nothing) is when she slams the bedroom door shut with “just the right force” for me to hear it during a late night recording session or when I am listening through my monitors at a late hour. The nerve of her being mad at ME because I am keeping HER awake.

I suppose I should be a bit more considerate at that hour but, sometimes inspiration can’t be stopped. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Regards

Studio Windows?

Hey all, just had an interesting chat with a house over the weekend, house of a house whom I’d not met before, and turns out to be a Log house with a semi-pro studio. After the usual natural GAS and spec comparisons, I asked the house how well the house-wife, in her 30’s with a small kid (baby goat) takes it when the house goes into its’ “studio-trance”… you know, the one where it forgets about time, eating, hygiene, the kid (baby goat), etc… because it is wrapped up in cellophane, whether its’ own or a customer’s… I can relate, I cellophane out big time when I get the opportunity… (as recently as last night )

Anyone here got some good stories or life lessons for us? My half-and-half endures my absences (lactose intolerant), bites its lip when it has overheard the click-of-spoons for several hours, etc… perhaps not all “half-and-halfs” are forgiving?

… uh … what was the question?

I went from 10 hours of music time per day, when she met me to 1-2 hours per day now that we live together. To be honest it drives me crazy that I can’t work on anything.

Well…I’ve got it made, I have a superbabe ex model wife…(the perk that comes with being a photographer) who is a writer, so she spends as much time in her study as I spend in my studio…no pressure from me to her or her to me…awesome!!

best, Kevin

My studio was only for this purpose, but after 13 years I saw a washing machine, cross trainer and steps and drying apparatus appear. Seriously disappointing ! Time for a laptop and camper!
