Slightly OT I guess? My butt is killing me... I have like a hard wooden kitchen chair in my studio? And sometimes I spend hours at a time on that thing. Can anyone recommend anything specific? I could go to office depot and just have a look see I guess. Just wondering if anyone is pampering their buns with anything they'd recommend.
 
Thanks.

A pillow on the hard wooden kitchen chair or a couple of pillows depending on the thickness. Why? Because it does not tilt and does not move like the expensive chair I bought, and to use a typewriter chair instead of the more plush office chair did not seem correct either. Not for me.

Stop trolling. Seriously.

Why are you so agressive? Seriously... People have studios? They sit at them for hours? At least I do? Go harass someone else please? Why is it "some people" can only feel better about themselves when they are belittling others? And they're usually pretty tough when they hide behind their keyboards ;-)  I guess there are many books written on the subject...  I'm sorry you have anger issues.

  
 I need something in there, maybe a simple cushin would do. I know some folks have very nice adjustible chairs? But I record in it, so it would need to be silent for tracking acoustic guitars. I know most people just sit and mix/master/engineer and actual acoustic recording is probably a very small percentage. So maybe a nice swival comfy chair would be good for 95% of studio time. I can't help but think it would make a huge difference.

I have a padded fairly comfortable chair. I got if from a customer who has an office filled with these kind of chairs for their employees who set at desks all day long. 

This one was in a junk room because it was broken. the back rest was defective. I asked if I could have it. I removed the back rest and it is now a padded stool. It has pneumatic shock/height adjustment and rotates 360 degrees plus it has  5 legs for stability and carpet friendly rollers on each leg. 

Very comfortable to work from.  

One problem with an office chair - that a plain wooden kitchen chair solves - is that it rolls, tilts and swivels, making it difficult to consistently listen in the same location. Moving your chair just an inch changes your spectral perception.

I actually splurged for one of these (actually the Mrs. did).  I will never go back.

I certainly would not want to tie myself down to avoid moving around if 1 inch was all it took. If that was the case, I would definitely look at how to increase the size of the sweet spot so that I can move my weight from the left cheek to the right cheek once in a while..., at least.
