Building a Mini Music Studio: The Imac Music Studio Journey

As a bedroom music producer since the age of 12, it's been nothing more than a hobby for me – I've never held ambitions to have my work released, and barely anyone has heard it outside of these four walls and a smattering of people on Soundcloud. However, over the years, people have asked me to delve into the subject, and recently, I decided to take the plunge and create a mini music studio at Mark Ellis Reviews HQ.

The idea is not to build an elaborate setup like Peter Gabriel's or a wall of synths, but rather to design a small workstation that can be used for music-making, podcasting, and sound design. This has prompted me to crack on with building a mini music production desk in the studio.

As someone who loves photography, filmmaking, audio production, writing, and making stuff, I'm always looking for ways to turn hobbies into revenue-generating, audience-building opportunities. The Mark Ellis Reviews brand is a result of that desire, and I've been fortunate enough to make it a business that has made me happier than ever before professionally.

So, I'll be taking you on this journey as I build my mini music studio using an Imac. We'll explore the process, the tools, and the techniques involved in setting up a small but efficient music production space. If you're interested, feel free to join me on this adventure!
