For the last two months we have been moving to our new home. I put off taking my home office video production studio apart until the very end because after moving it several times already I had an idea of how long it would take.
Do you see how many cords and pieces of equipment there are? I am remembering the line from Fight Club about "The things you own, own you" which felt accurate in the case of my home studio. After over a year of renting the house and trying to figure out how to best manage the battery backups which are essential in a house with frequent brown outs that are just enough to flip all the electronics off, I finally got the battery backups all in the attic just a few months before we realized we were ready to move. That was the first thing I took apart which took at least thirty minutes by itself of going up the attic, taking the cables out, and patching up the walls.
Next down come the six paper lanterns and the Mac Pro.
The sheer amount of cables is crazy.
Hours more of disconnecting equipment and organizing provided this view while listening to Singularity by Jon Hopkins as recommended by @tomasgeorge.
In trying to control the sound, I bought a bunch of foam bass traps which in the Florida humidity proved challenging to stick to the wall. After trying several solutions which failed, I used spray glue which worked so well it ripped all the paint off the walls coming down. We can see the bass traps all stacked up in the corner in the back here. Taking two of them off that stuck with spray glue took almost an hour by itself.
With just moving down the street, I used a little dolly to move the standing desk down the road!
Finally everything is ready to go! I drove it all down the street in my car when the shed I am building was ready for move in.
Weeks after the move we are still getting settled in and my studio is still not reassembled yet which is why my live witness updates have not been forthcoming the last several weeks. In the meantime, I am using this extra time to type and imagine the best system to help each other on Steem to prepare what I am thinking is the best post I have ever written in terms of adding value to Steem which I intend to publish in two or three days.
Fortunately this move has not impacted my witness servers at all because I trust witnesses with more experience coding to handle the day to day tasks of running the servers while I make decisions like hard for votes, price feed to use, etc. along with maintaining access and basic awareness to restart the server and make small changes myself as needed.
Witnessing for me and many of us is a team effort with one account being the witness and a huge amount of collaboration in everything else. I intend to do more live streams once the studio is back online and I appreciate you staying up to date here with me!
Love,
Jerry Banfield

Oh man, moving house is rough enough without an intricate setup like that to disassemble and reassemble at your new destination!
I feel for ya and wish you luck with rewiring, for that is a special kind of hell.
I think you should downsize. lol Congratulations on your new home.
Thanks for sharing the move, quite a big endeavor indeed!
That's awesome that you are moving down the road, it makes it easier. Now, we are waiting for photos when your studio is completed there.
Awesome @jerrybanfield
Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
Best regards @mrstaf @open-asset
Aww. But this is not the end.
New Home, New Mind.
Must be enjoying every second of it :)
New home, new orientation. God bless your new home. Get on your keyboard and bring us some new stuff to read and learn from.
I feel for you Jerry, safe moving to you. I remember moving my wife's home studio (she used to do a live radio show) and it was a pain in the rear... not to mention time consuming because everything had to be labeled or reassembly would take three times longer...
Bright Blessings to you in your new home!
Look at the bright side. You have a mat every night. Thank you for the tips, Jerry.
Hope everything will be good for you!
so pro man, hope everything will be good for you
Just think no more Green Acres living for you, must have been rough running down into the kitchen from the attic to unplug appliances so you could harmonize.
Holy smokes! the gears! the setup!
Glad to know you're moving to a new better place as your workstation. I'm sure its going to bump up your productivity and quality to new heights.
All the best in your ongoing move!

I am taking the voting bot offline tonight because of results like this! Will you read my post tomorrow because I think you will love it compared to using voting bots?
Ok sure I will. That was the first time I used your voting bot.
I like much this post... GREAT HAHA
I hope you feel more comfortable in your next studio room. A thing you should keep in mind when changing room is the acoustic measurement according to the position of your audio monitors and also the area where you will place the microphone. The first thing I noticed is that the acoustic traps of low frequencies you had located above, this can be problematic when making a mix because to control the low frequencies should be more in line with the height of the monitors or lower. Speaking of the position of the monitors, avoid being so uneven with the side walls, try to be more on center, thus avoid unwanted reflections and hear your audio reference better. Its important that you pay attention to these things, not only for your position as a public figure of the internet but also because I see that you are a musician, all this you can do yourself using a measuring microphone on your future room (DBX RTA-M, for example) and your interface, which I see is a focusrite scarlett 2i2, you have an excellent recording microphone and I know you can achieve incredible things if you take all these things into account.
I attached an image with the right way to locate the monitors to avoid reflections on the walls (I did it in paint, I'm not on my computer right now) explaining the position according to the distance of each side locating your workspace right in the center and the monitors looking at you.
Hope it helps you for something bro! hugs from Venezuela.
Congratulations @jerrybanfield!

Oh! It's a reason for joy and celebration your new and brand new home, where you will live experiences as varied and feel emotions of all kinds. Your refuge, your base and camp. Your home.

@mjzo 😀😍❤️
Really cool setup you have! Definitely looks like a pain to take it all down. But at least you can take the time to set it up exactly how you want it at your new place right? haha
