Ok, does anyone else need like abucket of snacks in their studio to get any real work done? Like if im doing a large project, like the ambient thing im making, which involves album art and lots of tracks, i usually need to have like a bag of chips or cookies or something near me when im working. Does anyone else do this?

I usually try and enforce a two-snack per-track policy in my studio

I’m the opposite. When I’m working on a track, I often forget to eat or take breaks.

Totally. Worst way to work too, as my ears are shot by the end of the session, and that’s when I’m mixing/recording.
I don’t eat while I’m working on music. I only use hardware and I don’t want to have greasy fingers. I wash my hands before I start. It’s a whole thing.

I only use hardware and knobs can be cleaned lol.
Yeah I’m more likely not to eat at all if it’s going well. And I am a greedy MF in general, a human Labrador
But why? Why would I touch my beloved Digitakt with greasy potato chip fingers. I’d rather just wash my hands and worry about dust.

Im not saying eat a hand full of crisps and then touch the dials, wipe it off like a civilized human meatbag but dont suffer the curse of not eating crisps in the studio.
Meatbag is an Invader Zim callback for the nerds in the audience.

I don’t know. I’m not inclined to eat while I’m working on something in the first place. So I’m also not inclined to trick myself into thinking that wiping my hands is a substitute for washing them. The lies we tell ourselves, right?

I rarely snack at all. I pour myself a drink sometime before starting a session ( not necessarily alcohol, but most of the time whisky sour).
In Summer it is safe to say that the icecube will be full molten, or if it is a fizzy drink all the fizz is gone before I take the first sip…
Maybe if I would snack, I would snack with chopsticks.
Seen some people do this. Looks kind cursed when you are not good with the sticks…

Finally.
Someone with sense. Correct choice of Monster Munch there.
And caramel wafer. Superb.
My dedication to Tunnock’s is also strong. I can’t imagine how many Tea Cakes I got through during the COVID peaks. This is in my house as snacking inspiration.

Washed down with half a litre of Irn Bru, for that authentic Scottish experience.

I don’t enjoy eating outside of mealtimes.
