Have you ever arrived for your studio session ready to get right to work, only to trip over someone's guitar, find patch cables stuck to the ceiling, and to discover that the only sound you can get out of the left channel is a very distinctive oink? You set down your bag, adjust your expectations, and then proceed to spend the first 45 minutes of your session troubleshooting or else cleaning up someone else's mess.
Kinda stinks, doesn't it?
While our studio engineer and studio assistants do our very best to keep the studios clean, functional, and organized, the best way to ensure that they stay this way everyday from the start to the end of each semester is to reserve the last 5-15 minutes of EVERY session for cleaning up after yourself. Cleaning up after yourself will help your peers get right to work, will encourage others to return the favor, and will allow the studio assistants and studio engineer to focus on improving the studios a bit each day, rather than simply trying to maintain the status quo. Cleaning up after yourself is a triple win - it is good for you, good for your friends, and good for everyone!
