We’re back with another FAQ Friday for you! The featured question from today’s video is this:
If you were starting a semi-professional project studio, how would you allocate the money you have to spend?
In order to answer this question, I have to start by asking a question: Are you an instrumentalist? I have been in some professional studios that don’t have any gear outside of recording gear, but that may not be the best path for you to take when setting up your studio. The reason I start by asking that question is if you are looking to record local bands and artists from your area, and you want them to sound good, you will want to have a few instruments available for them to use. The reality it, this may be their first experience in the studio, and they may come in with a guitar or bass or drum kit that is barely playable. This is something that has happened to me many times!
My last studio had a rental/rehearsal business as well, so I took advantage of that, and this helped me make sure that I could get any piece of equipment of any instrument I may need. When I came to build this studio, I knew I would not have access to that rental business anymore, so I had to think of a solution for that. This is why I have tons of guitars, basses, amps, pianos, and other equipment here. So, if you are planning to record bands, you will probably have to allocate a little bit of your budget to buying some instruments.
Overall, you could be looking at roughly $5,000, or a little bit less, if you are blending used and new equipment. To keep costs down and make things more cost-effective for yourself, don’t be afraid to buy used! Just make sure you are paying attention to what you are buying and ask the right questions to make sure you are getting the right value for your money. If you want all new equipment, you could be looking at well over $5,000. The budget for your studio will really depend on your needs. Will you be recording bands? Will they need equipment? Do you want all new, or are you going to buy some used as well? It all depends on what your needs are and how much you are willing to spend!
