Would the smoke of incense be harmfull for my gear like cigarette?

I never have smoke in the studio, I rarely smoke a joint while producing.

Though I'd like to burn some of that incense stuff..

Any ideas?

Well, I always thought I should avoid it, until I saw how much incense steve vai burns in his studio, the fucking hippy that he is, and he has outrageous amounts of class A gear, and it doesn't bother the gear.
Just dust regularly.

Cigs are bad cos of the tars.

Sure burn as much incense as you want.... Just make sure you have the same kind of cash that Steve Vai has to replace it when it dies. :lol:

Smoke is carbon.
Carbon is dust.
Dust is the #1 enemy of gear after catastrophic events (being dropped, liquids spilled into it and so on...)

Dust fucks up pots sliders & pcbs

Best of luck.

Newsflash Dumbo!!!

Not informing you that smoke is harmful to your gear would be a dick move.

Giving you bad or uninformed advice would be a real dick move.

Do you have lots of cash like Steve Vai and you can afford to replace your shit without thinking twice?!?

I think you are vastly overreacting. (Apart from the fact that vai has stuff he has had all his career in his studio)

I've been a god damn hippy in my studio for well, at least 20 years, I've never had a machine go kaput on me, and I've been burning incense for years, and back when I used to smoke spliffs like I was trying to eliminate the plant from existence, entering the studio was like being hotboxed. (None of that any more) Even my reel to reels were fine, though General wear and tear in the old fucks means constant maintenance, so the things were always getting taken a part, and you know what? No carbon build up.
You just have to dust and clean regularly, luckily my missus is a clean freak and dusts and hovers all the time, and so, no problems.
That's not to say you should burn incense right on your fader matrix on the desk.....

The real studio killer is liquid. Tea, booze, whatever. It WILL get spilled at some point, no matter how careful you are.

can confirm

i HATE spilling coffee in the studio. once i dropped a whole french press full of coffee and it smashed everywhere. glass and coffee e v e r y w h e r e. and i was denied what would have been an excellent beverage. it was a sad day.

I don't really see what he said wrong in his post, apart from the sarcastic "best of luck"...hardly worthy of a slap on the wrist?

But yeah, fucking hate seeing people bitching at each other.
Such a waste of energy just reading posts by negatrons in general ..

We all engage in banter on here.
But just straight up calling people dicks is not on.
I look at this all like a pub, everyone sitting around a table chatting.

Just being an ass and cussing out is not on, not when you see his history is pretty much that attitude from the get go.

The most harmful thing in your room is children. Someone should have told that to Michael Jackson, eh? DONT SPILL THE JESUS JUICE!!

No, but kids.. The non-goat variety.. Jesus Christ. They have the potential for so much destruction. I'll post a pic of a near miss I had with my machinedrum later. Such a close shave.
