How to Build a Home Studio w/ Open Mike Eagle

Open Mike Eagle is a rap artist with albums such as Brick Body Kids Still Daydream, Anime Trauma & Divorce, and his latest, A Tape Called Component System with the Auto Reverse. He is from Chicago but now lives in Los Angeles, where he has a studio built into his home, and another room that looks an awful lot like a studio where we talked to him from. Mike tells us about how to soundproof a room and hook up a condenser and interface and microphone. It is also a good idea to own a surge protector to protect yourself against all the surges even though Mike hasn’t had any of those. Open Mike Eagle used to be an elementary school teacher and he thinks Post Malone would make a better elementary school teacher than Drake would. Also, he tells us how to bother Guitar Center guys.If you are able to stay awake through this entire episode, you will know what you need for a home studio but if you aren’t able to stay awake, you will get some sleep.
