Another Post… after more than a month of silence

by Seth Weber on January 26, 2010

So, I’ve been really busy with college, but I’m trying to get more organized with my time, so hopefully I will have time to do posts more often than once a month.

Now I want to just ask a question for this post. How many of you my readers have a home studio? And if you do, what advise would you give to those wanting to build one in their house?

As the world of recording changes I think big multi-million dollar studios will disappear and home studios will become more and more popular, even for big-time bands.

  • I think decent studio can be made in ones house with around $1,000 assuming you have a room and a computer already.
  • A good studio for $5,000
  • And a really great home studio for $10,000
  • And of course if you add construction (within the home) to that it could increase the cost anywhere from $5000 more to $15,000

And now your saying, so to build a room and make it a really great studio I might have to spend $25,000!? And I’m saying yes. So why would that be better than spending a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars on real studio time? The answer is freedom, you are free to use it whenever you want, for whatever you want, practice, recording your own band or your friends bands, mixing for 20 hours straight not trying to rush through to get a cheaper price, and your free to experiment with it however you want, to mix, edit and master however you want, basically, my point is, YOU are in control!

Now, any advise you readers with home studios wish to give? (Please comment with answers below)
