making your studio compact

Hello mpc users!

Im having a lot of trouble finding the correct setup.. I always find myself trying to find new ways to setup my home studio, now the problem is I only have my bedroom that is 4x6 or so, with a 2 person bed , couch, and lounge tables in them, so that makes half of it really filled.. and now there is only 2x 4 m left for my studio, I am really desperate for tricks to make my studio more 'roomy' but still comfortable, so I opened this topic for the bedroom beatmakers and just wanted to hear some good advice on making your studio smaller ( with the same gear).

Hope someone has some tips for me!

thanks in advance, Roy ShyftE

(btw I've been checking the pics of yo cribs topic for years now, and it always helped me a lot)

I have this:

'Highsleeper' ?? (2 persons)
Don't know what's called in English. Also nice excuse not to take fat chicks home. Anker it into the wall and you should be fine.

I also have this desk:

On this desk I can place as much stuff as on two tables. Just stack your stuff.

I have a decent pc, small interface/ mixer, mpc, midi keyboard, equalizer/amp for TT and two pair of speakers on there. Plus a small table for the TT and DJ mixer. Everything fits underneath that bed. It was this way or no way. I live in the center, you know how small appartments can be in the city's center.

amsterdam is mad expensive i heard.. well all of the randstad probably

I got lucky.

When looking for a house there are always three factors that are very important:

Price, space and location.

In a city like Amsterdam you have to let go at least one of them.

I have a cheap place at a nice location, but very small. 30m2, which include my livingroom, kind of a bedroom, shower/ toilet and kitchen.
I was thinking about to update my studio pics in the 'pics of your crib' section. Then you can see how small it actually is. But hey, I can walk to all the nice hiphop/ music spots.

What gear do you have, and do you have a pic of the current studio layout?
