I have a modest recording studio in my home that I affectionately call Shabbey Road. It’s nothing fancy, but I can do some recording (nothing too loud, no drum kits) and affordable mixing in the box. Check out some of the gear I have at Shabbey Road that sometimes follows me around to other studios (I’ve added some favorite studios, too).
