Hey Guys,
I'm just curious as to when you guys started calling your setup a certified "Home Recording Studio" lol.. because so far I've got like 3000 dollars worth of stuff and I still feel like I ain't got shit.. (pardon the language).

My Stuff...
-Dell P4 w/ 17 inch Flat Panel
-Cubase SX
-Aardvark LX6
-BLUE DragonFly Mic
-Event TR8's
-Art ProPac Pre/Compressor(About to Upgrade!!)
-Furman Power Conditioner w/little 8 space rack (nothing else racked.. lol)
-New Desk from staples (worked out very well!)

Oh, And a crowded ass bedroom... !
So can I call my bedroom a Home Studio yet?? lol :o
 
No mater what gear you have or what your room is like ...... so long as you've recorded something and attempted mixing it ...... it's your studio.
 
The way I see it, a home recording studio requires 3 things:

1. A home (house, apartment, shed in the back yard, etc);
2. Something to record with (computer, cassette deck, VCR, etc);
3. Something to record (guitar, voice, crickets, etc).

It looks like you have most of these so "YES" you have a home studio. Congratulations ;)

It's a studio as soon as you start calling it a studio. Nothing more, nothing less :D
 
Alright! So hey guys.. I got me a studio woohoo! lol
 
As long as you have the gear to record and produce an MP3/CD (whatever the quality) it's a studio.
This question reminds me of when I was about to publish my first short novels. The question I asked myself was: "When can I call me a novelist/writer? After I have published something? Or after I had written it? Tell you what; the feeling wasn't much different before/after.
As long as you have the skills and gear to produce something; call it a studio.
There are good and not so good studios though; both gearvise and skillvise. :D

That's pretty cool.. I think I've just recently really started considering my little setup a studio when OTHER people started calling it a studio.. lol. kinda weird I guess.
 
I'm surprised it took 5 replies before someone mentioned the lava lamp. So I guess I'm not classified as an official studio yet. Some new gear to be purchased this year and a room to be built in the garage, then I'll be good to go.
 
What about a cowbell? Does a studio by definition need a cowbell?

It needs the new MilkShake™Pro Cowbell VST Plug-In. Ships at 999USD over at Pets and plugins. :rolleyes:
 
When you're sitting on the toilet in the bathroom and you are playing the harmonica, IT'S YOUR STUDIO! :p
 
It's officially a studio when you sit inside the walls hollering expletives at them when you hear teenagers blasting thier music from their cars or bikers with no mufflers tearing up your street. By definition this makes anyone who owns a studio 'painfully old' as well. That's what separates rock stars from engineers :)
