Can anyone recommend a place to get a good mixing chair?

Obviously, you don't want one of those high back chairs or you'll have reflections right behing your head...

Most studio chairs seem to be the mesh design..

I guess you need something kind of "acoustically transparent" and comfortable..

I just don't know where to buy one from...

This was teh official website for the Aeron chair, which is the unoffical official studiochair.

I have a Herman Miller chair (it's the Aeron Lumbar), which is seen in virtually every studio pic ever published in Mix; got it from Costco for $600, after bitching about the price and having my daughter inform me that it was cheap; her company had bought about 1500 of them ??!? for all their employees for about that price (bulk discount), and productivity went up VERY noticeably.

Before that, I sat in a "Normal" $100 office chair - it squeaked (miller doesn't, no matter WHAT you do) and after a couple hours my back hurt (I can sit in the miller for 10 hours straight and still be able to walk afterward) and the mesh thing not only LOOKS high-tech, it's really nice not to stick to the chair when you're trying to get up. Not to mention total control over degree of allowed forward tilt, backward tilt, arm spread, lumbar position, etc)

AFTER that, I've decided that if mine were to disappear I'd spend at least $1000 if necessary to replace it... Steve
