Sven from Still Woozy rocking the shoe organizer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3e1kJJ_mMR9f9U 😎

[@whiteshedrecordings]

Great idea! I’m gonna dump my wife’s shoes out and try this!

[@424Recording]

Haha my wife got me this for my shoes but I have about three pairs. Do it up, Joe!

[@arnesl929]

Haha

[@YellowJelloMusic]

She will be thrilled! Good luck finding your gear the next day 😂

[@GlennThomasTech]

I can absolutely relate to the suitcase situation!! Great tip - Thanks for sharing!

[@BogoEN]

We used these shoe hangers to organize art supplies at my old job, can’t believe I never thought of this for recording gear! Smart. I am currently lucky enough to have a separate studio space and pegboard works really well to hang the larger stuff in whatever way you want - great for garages. Keep up the good work!

[@424Recording]

This was a total accident. That's a great tip, re: pegboard. Thanks for watching and will do!

[@godofspacetime333]

I just spent 12 hours cleaning and organizing, and the only thing left was what to do with my cables. I didn’t really want to put a bunch of pegs in the wall, so this is perfect!

[@424Recording]

Yeah, I know what you mean, Godof. I faced a similar issue, I started hanging some cables in my closet and this is way better and easier in a lot of ways! Cheers and congrats on the cleanup

[@joaoantoniovione484]

I did the same with some over the door hook racks... There's one where I coil mic cables and leave the other end in the mixer; another for instrument cables, patch cords, phones and what have you. But damn this looks so much neater! Let alone, no cable entanglement.

[@jasonelambeth]

1:27 BOOM weak snap. Classic.

[@424Recording]

There's no way I was going to record again for a better snap haha. Such high stakes with one take 😄

[@zachshipstead5247]

Wow. This was the exact video I needed today. Getting one after lunch.

[@424Recording]

Sounds good, Zach. I felt like shooting this vid for a while and I'm glad it helped 🙌

[@zachshipstead5247]

@@424Recording Project complete. My workspace is so much better than it was this morning. Thank you.

[@424Recording]

Cheers! Glad to help!

[@peterkiefel4324]

great idea Mike - I estimate I've spent 25% of my life hunting for, and untangling leads!

[@424Recording]

Yeah, same. I wonder how much I've spent doing the same, and setting up and looking for stuff haha

[@arnesl929]

Also buy new to find out I already had one 🙈

[@williamjones7260]

I use one of those too. I was going to use it for shoes. But it turned out to be for kids shoes. It is really handy for cables, phone chargers, etc.

[@424Recording]

Same here. This one is bigger and I have some shoes near the bottom but I started randomly putting some stuff in the pockets one day and the next thing I knew, here we are haha

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Its getting cold where I am... winter is almost here. Cheers mate.

[@424Recording]

It got cold again here, too! Where are you from? Stay warm!

[@JosefK93]

Great simple tip :) I'm actually in need of a cable hanger for my Modular that doesn't leave any marks, something like this could be it!

[@424Recording]

Go for it!

[@uriahfiiya]

Ahhhh what a great idea!

[@MikeFoerster]

You have a door!! So jealous of you right now! I have a slab of insolated tile.

[@424Recording]

Door crew ftw

[@kunaikai]

I’m definitely gonna do this. I already have a pegboard that hangs a lot of my equipment behind my desk

[@424Recording]

That's awesome! I've been wanting to get something like that, too

[@kunaikai]

@@424Recording the one from Ikea was pretty cheap

[@blakewhittington4336]

Nice I actually use a dresser for my pedals and mics in my recording room

[@424Recording]

Haha, nice, Blake. I do that for my pedals, too!

[@karmicneurot9829]

I mean, that's cool and all, but my overflowing drawer and under the desk are working good. It's cool because when I pull out a cable it's connected to the other cable, and that can lead me to the mic cable I lost a week ago. And that spare power brick for the Dr Rhythm is tangled in there too so, I mean, those RCA to 1/4" jumpers are probably in the center of that mass, and then it runs out down the back of the drawer into the spaghetti western of my floor, between those surge protectors right? I know one of them is plugged in, but the lights burned out so I don't know which, but yeah, the monitors are running in there too...I think.

[@Langerr]

This is genius

[@YellowJelloMusic]

I like hanging things up... alright Mike, how many? 😂 I have all my stuff in the drawers and it's pretty messy but we don't have any closets like that with doors to spare... I guess there will be mess

[@424Recording]

Hahahaha I realized that the way I said that was strange but there was nothing I could do about it! It's a lot easier to hang stuff then keep it in those cases, because you can see what you have. I assume your drawers are a similar situation! That sounds like lyrics "I guess there will be mess"

[@joaoantoniovione484]

As far as other organizing tips, 80's SOS and other rec mags (there's so much to find on webarchive!) suggested coat hangers and wrapping cables w/ a loop of rope. Velcro ties are neat too. I used to have a double bed, and tucked cymbal and mic stands, all sorts of things in the auxiliary bed. Nice to use ballasts as a display for over the door gadgets, esp. when you have more than one... Oh well, maybe I should (re)start my yt channel to develop on that subject xDdD

[@424Recording]

Oh, cool, I need to check those out! I have those orange cable cuffs that work well for cables. You can see them in one of the pockets. I'm curious... maybe I'm not sure what a double bed is? How did you tuck things? Like in the box spring section? Do it, re: channel!

[@joaoantoniovione484]

​@@424Recording sorry, I was referring to a pull-out bed but wasn't sure of the translation. So I took the mattress off the lower one and laid stuff in there, like a 6 ft. drawer...

[@424Recording]

Oh, cool!

[@RichieFoulkes]

Good tips as always. Did you take the forum down or am I just not finding it?

[@424Recording]

Thanks, Richard! Yeah, it was taken down a couple years ago. I have it backed up and meant to relaunch but we use the Discord now for the same thing if you want to check that out! Cheers!

[@philspill6854]

Mine's full of pedals😝

[@424Recording]

That's a great idea, Phil!

[@frynidim2539]

which microphone do you use?

[@424Recording]

I've been using an SM58
