Build Advice Rate my home recording studio system ?

The physical setup seems okay. You really won't know if you like it until you actually use the layout.

Biggest issue I see is storage. The Mini only has a 256GB SSD. Are you planning for external storage devices?

Also, how do you intend to perform system backups?

I ended up with a 4tb Crucial SSD.

Can we explore “system backups” im not familiar at all with this.

The Mac Mini arrived and once my studio monitors show up next week i can see if the audio work flow works as intended. Im really glad i have the two monitors to keep an eye on my interface and the DAW.

My studio rocks!

I need a chair that allows me sit longer than 30 minutes without pain. What chair do you sit in ????

Im trying to watch tutorial videos and i guess my $89 20yr old CompUsa chairs dont cut it haha

Tailbone, sweaty, its weird. Theres no padding, it like sitting on a kitchen sponge over a piece of plywood

I have one of these (had for years).

Leap Office Chair & Workspace Seating | Steelcase

Offering unmatched support for various body shapes & sizes, the adjustable Steelcase Leap office chair was designed with comfort & movement in mind.

Worth the price. Makes long sessions behind the keyboard as comfortable as possible.

You can find refurbished ones for a song (so to speak) if you search for deals.

If you don't like pleather or leather, try to find a nice mesh chair. I have an all mesh chair and it really helps. Its also comfortable.

An example of a fully mesh chair would be this. I don't know what your budget is, but 200-300 is around the minimum for a pretty good chair. There are a lot of bad chairs in every price range though, so be careful and get recommendations or read reviews.
