In this month's Composers Secrets show, I share the details of my current mobile music studio with a detailed Studio Tour. I had seen a few videos by Christian Hensen over the years sharing his mobile rigs and thought it was about time I share my current setup.

As a composer working on tight deadlines, I often need to write, mix, master, and deliver projects in as little as 4 hours for my advertising clients. That means even when I am on the go, out on holiday, or traveling, I still needed to have a portable music studio solution that could handle all of my needs.

I had seen a few videos by Christian Hensen over the years sharing his mobile rigs and thought it was about time I share my current setup.

When I first started my composer career, I was traveling about 6 months a year. At the time I was using a simple MacBook Pro laptop computer system with Logic Pro and a small Akia keyboard to compose music while I was traveling that all fit easily into a backpack. By bouncing down tracks and using other tricks to get the most out of that system, it did allow me to create music on the go.

Fast forward to almost 20 years later and I have evolved my mobile music studio into something that has no compromise from my "home" writing and recording studio.

Complete with a rack-mounted Intel-based Mac Mini, loads of USB ports, and 3 Black Magic docs with 12 SSDs for samples and projects, my current mobile rig is exactly the same as my home studio. I simply add the front and back covers to my shock-mounted rack case and wheel it away with me.

This mobile music rig is constantly evolving as I find new tech and gear that better serves my needs, meets my budget and most importantly integrates into my workflow.

In today's video, I share the details of my mobile music studio as well as the plans I have to make it into the Ultimate Mobile Music Studio.
