Hey, okay so the title wont be the end result.
but anyways i wanna make my home studio alot better.
below is a graphic picture of the equipment i use.
anyways, i think i have a pretty good setup that most home studios (that i've seen) dont have.
i know the avrage musican wont know what half that stuff is so the names like avalon, neauman, pro tools wont impress them, for all they know they could care less.
so like i said, i have a home based studio.
my buddy says i should take advantage of it being a HOME studio, so what i did was bought a couch and other comfy furnature, and also have a TV somewhat near by the control center, where they can play games or whatever until their ready to do their part. on the downside i thought things like that should be the last thing they have on their mind. so i dont know if this is a good strong idea as of yet. but the guys that come over seem to enjoy it..
i also have a vocal both that was originally a closet, and put in a glass window so i can see them, and they can see me. its super effective.
my MAIN QUESTION is if you guys have any ideas i could use to make my studio more comfortable and just a nice place to record their stuff.
i have about 3 years of recording experiance.
and recorded about 8 different project after doing the whole studio thing for about 4 months.
i also charge 20 an hour for full bandss
and 15 an hour for acoustic musicans and rappers.
sorry for this being long. its really late and i'm kinda wired off cafine. haha.

Oct 14, 2006 07:05 pm actually I remember reading an article about how that basically is the make or break point in high-end studios... the conclusion that the most critical piece for a home studio was actually a Play Station...
Oct 16, 2006 08:37 am Proof is in the pudding, I say.
If your quality is suprassing other's work, and/or the clients expectations, then you're probably already in good shape.
Post a clip of some of your work (with owner's permission, of course) and let us take a listen.
Dragonorchid is a user on here that routinely puts up work-in-progresses for us to critique.
But if your clients are happy, then what's to change? =)
Oct 16, 2006 08:39 am oh yeah, i have the kids play room / tv room outside my studio, so players waiting can hop on the PS/2 for awhile, to slip some time by.
I think it's good for younger, harder type musicians. Maybe not for older 'james taylor' types, but for the younger types, I think it's a good idea. Gets them in the mood for playing kick-butt music.
Oct 16, 2006 11:49 am SD? is that sandiego? Im headed out that way for work, looks like recording at your house would be better than recording in my hotel room
Oct 16, 2006 03:59 pm Tony, SD is what i ment by San Diego. i mainly use Sonar, as i am still learning pro tools.
as for samples yeah i got them, if you guys can critiqe them that would be great.

Oct 16, 2006 11:21 pm The whole house is open to those lucky individuals who come here. 3 PS2's, every cable channel imaginable, basketball hoop, used to have a heavy bag which I am trying to get back. Plenty of room to hide for awhile if needed.
The fun stuff makes a differance, and couches are always good, recliners too.
Oct 17, 2006 05:03 pm Sorry to say there is nothing free for Pro Tools. And that is the way the company wants it to be. They charge for every little tiny thing they can. That is why they are quickly loosing the foothold they once had. Cakewalk and Steinberg have pretty much overtaken them in sales of Pro level application now. They do so much more for so much less. And are not dependant on DigiDesign hardware to run.
