Who’ll be assisting you?

What's the aim of the session?

Pitching in: What are you gonna do to help out?

Quid-pro-quo, Clarice. We need you to put an hour or two aside on the day to nurture the studio to show the studio some love and leave it BETTER than you found it.
[note: "it was already great when I got there!" doesn't count... do something else and report that instead]
You could:

• Set up and test all mic stands, taking any broken stands to the workshop

• Check through all cable hooks in the machine room and reorganising so they're mega tidy

• Run tone through each channel of the console, logging faults as you go

• Test all the outboard in the room - maybe you'll pick up a new trick!

• Go through faults logged for that studio, verifying them... can you replicate them? or were they session gremlins? (be sure to comment on the Trello card)

• Maybe the mic cupboard was feeling flakey, or the drum cage a bit full when you got in. Could you spend an hour working through that for everybody's benefit?

• Or something else entirely! seriously, have a think, you use the studio more than we do.......

Final checklist
I understand this downtime session is granted at the discretion of Strongroom Mangement, and can be cancelled at any time (including on the day)
I understand that clients benefitting from free studio time should source budget for repeat sessions and I will advocate for commercial projects including the studio to cover the studio also
I commit to "pitch in" as above and report findings via the Downtime Jobsheet and/or Trello fault log as appropriate
I will leave the studio BETTER than I found it
