Studio Hacks Round Up - Part 4

Since we featured the new Facebook page for sharing Studio Hacks the page has become very popular and in this article we highlight another selection of the hacks from Studio Hacks.

A Headphone Hanger For Less Than £5

Thanks to Glen Morrow for this find. Its a headphone hanger from IKEA for less than £5. How to recycle a Grundtal toilet roll holder. The instructions couldn't be simpler...

  1. Mount Grundtal toilet roll holder to the underside of your desk, with the bar at the bottom and the open end forward.
  2. Hang things.

Softube Console 1 Stand V2

This is a simple and neat solution from our own Dan Cooper to have his beloved Softube Console 1 to hand. Mark 1 was much more expensive, it was his C24 control surface!

Patchcord Holder

This is is from our own James Ivey. Having installed his Audient desk with a patchbay, he needed somewhere to keep his patchcords tidily. James says...

Thanks to my buddy Sean Genockey for this one, which I have just installed in my studio. Nice to know there is still a place in the digital studio for analog hardware. 

In the comments on Studio Hacks Mike Crossey sent in a picture of his version.

Cymbal Modification

Keating Keat at Cheap Arse Stüdio. "Electrical tape, taking a little bit of "ping" out of the budget Crash."

DIY Mic Pop Filter

This is one from Dietrich Pfeifer‎ who says...

Another take on a DIY pop filter. I notice my shock mount had a little groove around the circumference so I made this unobtrusive pop filter out of aluminum wire and some speaker grill cloth. It's held on by tension from two o-rings acting as rubber bands. Cost was FREE because I had this stuff lying around.
