twist the cube or a ticking clock can be a good way to shove money down a rat hole if you panic and can't get any takes cause you are thinking of the clock ticking and every tock is another dollar gone. best to do as much as you can at home on your own schedule and pace before you even think...

swoosh why not press it on a wax cylinder too and listen to it with a big horn direct from the needle

voice of reason +1 and you dont need an official "studio" to have studio quality space. school auditoriums, theatres, churches, may rent space to generate some cash when the facilities are not in use.

look at the pros the music mags are frequently showing some stars home studio. expensive gear but a lot of the rooms are no better than where i live.

top photogs can use a 3MPxl point and shoot and get better pix than any amateur with a full kit of the top end "pro" gear. Pro has more to do with how you use it than what you used. Give a pro better gear and he will get slightly better results faster.

+ 1/2 its everything. the room is the start and if its bad you got nothing. there are other venues you can get cheaper than studios. churches may rent unused (in time dimension during the week) space and some have good equipment too.

+1 best advice on this thread as to studios: many churches income are down. they have space and some even have good recording equipment. make a deal to rent it cheap when not in use or maybe even trade musical performance for space use. there are many ways to make good recordings without...

what was the limit the first time around I would say you need to get more experience first. Some in music production, but also in music business. What held you back last time ? Why would spending a lot of money fix that this time? That would be where you need to put it. I doubt that money...

different circumstances lady gagas producer probably gets half a mil up front but he is generating gigs, videos, cdsales, yada yada. and generates revenue to make him worth it. will your guy generate revenue? is he renting the stadiums for your tour? or will he book you into some bar and...

Chinese and other countries make cheap mikes. The question is: Can you make a mike as good as them yourself? If so, could you save any money? I am sure you could get the features you want if you did this. EG found a circuit for an MS stereo mike using 3 mike capsules. Unless the quality of...

the guy with the money he who pays the piper calls the tune you can strive for perfection for yourself but if you are a biz and the audience wants cheap then cheap they get cheap as fast as possible so you can move on to another project hopefully that wants top quality but more likely...

depends depends on your audience. most people think mp3 is hi fi these days. you dont need more than a decent home set up to make them happy. just because something sounds different does not mean it is better. maybe it is, but maybe it is just different. the cheap stuff you note was...

headphones rule i have some very good speakers - about $6000 each. that said, i have some very good headphones too. i can hear things on the cans that you cannot hear from the speakers. for convenience use your speakers. for detailed quality work use the phones. now considering that...

negotiate nothing is standard except for them trying to screw you over. they do this all the time and their lawyers have one sided contracts that protect them and ensure you pay up no matter what. never sign their contract!!!! a penalty clause , performance clause, etc,. are things you...

depends you need to make sure all the options match up in the os sound control panel, in the interface driver, and in your software. this is the most asked question on the audacity forum. i suspect your answer will like the one they get. now if you are using win7 or vista, or using usb there...

follow up thanks i think that soundforge may be an editor but now perhaps it has grown to do more finale will provide the scorewriter features to print the music so we can record live after we like what the midi version is like the problem i have is that there are many necessary functions...

depends i would add ram. that is a cost effective upgrade. whether you need to do anything else depends on how many things you need to run at once. what is your budget? get teh best mobo you can afford. if possible upper middle range. you should not need to pay for the absolute top end...

yes and no Guy in the washpost was making 500K per year doing custom instrumental music for movies, corporations, presentations, etc. He has a full midi/recording studio with high end synth/samples and mucho orchestra/instrument packages. He knows how to compose any style and make it fit...
