Yes, see aboveScooter13 wrote:Does anyone set up their band practice as if it was a stage, and face away from the drummer etc? Or is it just the semi-circle face inwards thing?
Ours is in an industrial area also, it's great to be able to practise how you play live.
Loving it so far

Re: Your practice space.
I think it depends on what you're doing. The circle is great for familiarisation; new songs or new band members. But if you're going to play out, you need to do the other thing as well.willow13 wrote:thats one thing I always try to get guys to do but sadly most people like the idea of a circle..never made sense to meScooter13 wrote:Does anyone set up their band practice as if it was a stage, and face away from the drummer etc?

Yep. I love playing to a wall, shouting at the wall and encouraging it to join in and raise its hands. COME ON!Slowy wrote:I think it depends on what you're doing.

I couldn't show-off my practice space at the mo. I'm set up in the corner of my garage. Sometimes I play along to the washing machine.
