Music Producers Turn To In-home Recording Studios Due to Coronavirus
CORONAVIRUSMUSIC PRODUCERS USING MAKESHIFT STUDIOS ...Time To Work From Home!!!

The coronavirus pandemic has brought live concerts to a total standstill, but the music industry is still set on churning out new tunes ... and producers are increasingly working from home and getting super creative.
Music industry sources tell TMZ ... recording studios across Los Angeles and New York City have all closed due to the virus, forcing lots of music producers to build mobile studios in their homes, where they can still make beats and record tracks.
Our sources tell us music producers are increasingly turning to video chats and streaming services to brainstorm ideas, collab and record pieces of songs with other producers.
QUARANTUNESWe're told producers are still working directly with their artists to write and collab, but the interactions are going digital now that face-to-face meetings are highly discouraged due to COVID-19.
As you know ... Lady Gaga announced Tuesday she's delaying the release of her upcoming album, "Chromatica," in light of the outbreak, joining a growing list of artists and festivals that have seen disruptions on account of coronavirus.
It's likely just the tip of the iceberg, but our music industry sources say albums won't be delayed because they aren't finished. We're told home studios can essentially do everything traditional sessions can do, and pushing back release dates is more about marketing concerns.
Here's the thing ... they're already shooting movies now on iPhones, so there's going to be a sea of change soon in technology and how entertainment comes to our homes and our phones.

History
TrendHunter.com was launched in 2005 by Jeremy Gutsche, an innovation expert and award-winning author who wanted to build a home for new business ideas and creativity.
Jeremy describes, "Like many of us, I was an entrepreneur at heart, but I didn't know what idea I wanted to pursue. I chose careers that I thought would lead me to my business idea... but after years of searching, I was still hunting for inspiration. It was then that I started Trend Hunter - a place for insatiably curious people to share ideas and get inspired."
