Anyone use a standing desk for music production?


If so, what's your setup? (ie. sitting / standing, manual adjustable desk or with a motor, which brand you might recommend, etc.)


My current setup is very ghetto (and clunky / uncomfortable) so thinking about how to design something that's most optimized for a smooth workflow, yet comfortable for many hours of production).


Been thinking about a standing desk setup to save my back, in my old office job I used to have one and would sometimes adjust it for standing. I wouldn't always work in the standing position, but on days my back would hurt a lot it would help to do so. Not sure if it's worth the hassle though, in upgrading my current home studio setup.

Yes, some music producers use standing desks to save their back and increase energy levels. For a comfortable and smooth workflow, it's recommended to invest in a motorized adjustable desk with a sturdy build and a keyboard tray at elbow height. Some popular brands include Vari, Uplift, and Jarvis. It's worth the hassle if you value your health and productivity.

Thanks Paula, I'll look into those. 


I agree, it's a good investment in health.

I went the DIY route due to budget constraints because I wanted to invest more in tech. Even if I used simple products like some pieces of wool, paint and nails, my standing desk for music production ended up excellent.


Regarding tech, I chose the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32 Keyboard and a good computer and mic to have a good product. The keyboard is under 200, and for what it's offering, it's more than perfect. You can see more details about it or other products in this article.
