Good Chairs For Producing? Ergonomic Troubles.
« on: May 26, 2016, 10:41:31 pm »
I'm not going to lie. Sometimes my mixing/producing sessions can start to get quite lengthy. When they do it can get rather uncomfortable on my body. I have a bad habit of sitting down in my chair "criss cross applesauce". Either that or I have another weird habit where I'll actually sit on my knees like in this pictures.

I don't know why but I've always been like this. It's like a habit that I've gotten into ever since I was in 6th grade. Whenever I get really focused or challenged I start to sit "weirdly" and I think if I keep it up I'm going to end up with either a dead back by the time I'm 30 or messed up knees.

With that being said I'm looking into getting a better chair in hopes that it will make these long producing sessions more comfortable. Do you guys have any recommendations that way I don't kill myself?

Did it take you long to find the illustration photo?  Because usually searching for: woman sitting on her knees. Would result in NSFW ;).  But to get on topic, I would recommend getting a gamer chair if you can afford it.

Are you looking for one that rolls and spins or one that doesn't move at all? Or is there no preference?

IDK about chairs, but this is why it's important to try and stand for at least a minute or two once every hour (or at least every couple of hours). Sitting in a chair is not a natural position and it inherently messes with our spinal alignment and tightens the joints around our hips.

Also, exercise and lots of stretching. We're gonna be spending most of our lives in windowless rooms producing beats - We need to take care of our bodies whenever possible.
