come on... is a couch really a necessity?

a couch? of course. i mean i could line the walls with stools but a couch is deffinatly a necessity. i dont just record there me and a lot of my friends hang out there to. like while someone is layin down the vocals its nice to sit down and just chill.

can't you go into another room to chill? if space and money is a tight budget, i would count a couch as a luxury item.

I'm having a couch in my 'studio'

The whole point of it is for me to relax in and write / record material at my own pace
