Can you call it a studio without a console?

I have a lava lamp but it's in a different room to my recording equipment. Does this mean that my house is a studio? Or does it mean that the room the lava lamp is in is the studio and the rest of the equipment is misplaced?

It may have been said, but the console is the "pay me" piece in a professional studio- clients come in, see a big board, and are impressed. Right or wrong, it happens.

I would never market a studio as such without a console. Perceptions count.

I don't use a console (as I mentioned in an earlier post) for recording. But I use an A&H Zed428 for live mixing, and it's pretty big. There was one occasion when I had it leaning up against the wall because I was going to do something to it. Some people came in to record, and I think they were more impressed that I didn't use it . . . that it was kind of just sitting there.
 
console yourself

I wish I had gear like some I see here. I have an "8-track porta-studio" and a room to put it in. No matter what, it all boils down to the talent and creativity of the individual and "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead"
 
Well, I think that my signature line says it all. :D

Cheers,

I have learned so much reading this forum. For example, now I know that it's not just me going "weeell, I'm not really THAT convinced if this shiny and expensive piece of equipment is necessary for the recording (I wonder what's it do?) but just look at all the faders knobs switches and little tempting lights... I'll take it sir!" :D

Also, I hadn't the slightest idea about the importance of lava lamps. And now it seems so obvious, too!

But I prefer the wow factor that occurs when they hear their stuff played back.

Lots of very good points made in this thread. There are certainly many very experienced folks here on this board from which I've learned a lot over the years popping in from time to time. Personally, I like this post the best. It is "after all", what we're "all after" anyway isn't it?

Cheers...

Oh, My second favorite point is the signature that says "Twenty thousand dollars worth of Snap-On tools does not make you a Professional Diesel Mechanic". Damn that's good!
