About Home Studio Grooves

Welcome to Home Studio Grooves! Hey, I’m Mike Harwood, the guy behind Home Studio Grooves.

I started this site because I was sick of reading gear reviews full of fluff and trying to figure out home studio setups with no real guidance. I’ve spent years learning how to make decent recordings in tight, messy spaces with limited gear and even less budget. It wasn’t easy, but it taught me a lot.

This site is here to help you avoid all the dead ends. Whether you’re trying to fix bad room acoustics or wondering if a certain plugin is worth the hype, I’ll give you real answers based on actual use.

Everything on Home Studio Grooves is based on first-hand experience. I test products, break down setups, and write guides that are easy to follow. No filler. No vague advice. Just the kind of stuff I wish I had when I got started.

Some links on the site are affiliate links. If you buy something through them, I might make a small commission at no extra cost to you. It helps keep the site running, but I only recommend gear I trust and would actually use myself.

If you’re serious about building a better home studio without wasting money or time, you’re in the right place.

Let’s keep it simple and make good music.
