The best line of defense is a lock on the door.
But then you have to remember to lock it!
My 7 year old son is very careful in the studio. He will come in to listen or to play the studio kit. He knows not to touch anything. He knows not to bring food into the studio or wipe his boogers on stuff. I became a little lax as far as locking the studio doors.
So one day I came home and the house was a mess. It turns out my sister in law and her 5 year old tornado of a daughter were over. I went down to check the studio. The doors to both rooms were wide open. There was auralex foam all over the floors (in bite size pieces). There was a rack of 7 guitars tipped over with all 7 guitars lying in a pile on the floor. All the mic stands around the drums were knocked over, including two with AEA ribbon mics on them. One stand was half over and lying on the keys of my Dave Smith PEK. To top it off, one of my cats got in the studio and pissed all over the wiring behind my console.
Thankfully, I have since moved the studio, so it is not part of my residence, but the moral of the story...KEEP YOUR SHIT LOCKED!
