I am in the process of installing my equipment into my new home studio. I have purchased a 12X24' building, insulated with spray foam and installed new electrical with Power conditioners and a Heat/AC system which will work virtually silent thanks to being able to route the duct work into the foam insulated rafters. I have installed LED lighting which I was told should also have no interference with the recording and eliminated the florescent lighting I started with.
My flooring is impact resistant stall mats I found at our local Farm Supply and they have been sealed so that feet can also move virtually silent. I have tried to take all precautions in order to eliminate any interference in my sound. I have moved on to my recording equipment and have installed a 3TB computer with the fastest processors I could locate, and was given a brand new TASCAM 24 track Portastudio recorder by a friend who is under the impression that it might be of some use and save me some headaches in the recording process. I installed a 16 channel snake from the booth to the recording area, and I also have a TASCAM digital interface installed in the booth rack along with another power conditioner. I have all instrument plugs and the power for the boards on different breakers to keep any bleed over from happening.
My question is this. Have I missed anything in the preparation and set up of the infrastructure of the studio? I have purchased some Shure 360 mics for recording as well as some SM58s . I have not yet purchased recording software, and booth monitors as I am not yet sure about what I have done so far. As a novice I am trying to read and learn as I go. I am about 6 months behind due to some problems I encountered, but I am now back on track and I think I am ready to move on to the next steps. Is there anyone who can think of what I may have missed in setting up the studio so far?
Thanks,
