ElMariachi78 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 @ sonicguy : very nice studio you have there Do you run it as a private or commercial studio ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicguy Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thanks ElMriachi, I do both. Started out as a place to record my music. But things grow and the word spreads around. Even though I would describe it as a project studio there seems to be a lot of local interest. It feels comfortable and intimate. Frankly I think these smaller spaces are becoming more and more popular. Drums record pretty well in there, and that is rare in home studios. Drum recording seems to be going by the wayside altogether. Thanks again for the compliment. I really appreciate it. It's been a bit of work.

I can absolutely believe it was lots of work, and hard work pays off in the end Nice to hear that its going well for you. Is the studio located in your house (cellar) or did you rent this room? I dream of a place like yours in my own house to do my own music and also record other musicians/bands.Unfortunately i dont own a house yet.. maybe in the next few years...

sonicguy Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 ElMariachi, this is actually in an old outbuilding behind my house. We did double wall construction for isolation, but didn't go to the ends of the earth on every detail. I did pay attention to room dimensions. It wasn't all that expensive, considering. but i did all the construction myself. So that helps keep cost down. I went into this with the perspective that I'll learn from this build and apply what I learn in a better building someday. And that I want to see how the records made in here compare to lesser spaces and greater spaces I have recorded in. No doubt there will be disadvantages, but also some advantages to this space. Perhaps mainly financial advantages, but we'll see. It is nice having it separate from the main house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Juda Sleaze Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hey man, could you repost those pics to 800px wide? It'd make the pictures lots easier to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivermetimbers Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Actually, the large pics make moving around the screen seem like the virtual reality pictures. However, because the pictures are so large, I have to scroll to read whatever is posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonicguy Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 There should be a option to stream live video feed here. I get some interesting bands. And the console actually sounds pretty good without a ton of processing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonicguy Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Ok. I know it's been a while. I've been super busy lately. But I managed to remember to run some video at a recent quick session. The other day a client brought in a bass player to track on one of his songs. The player, Mike Phillips of the band Four Finger Five had no objection to my filming him. Although my skill at videography is no better than that of an infant I managed to capture him doing a take. And I was able to figure out how to drag the sound file and lay it over the video with a certain degree of success. Keep in mind that the song is not finished so the soundtrack is a rough edit. And hopefully the poor camera work won't do permanent harm to your visual sensory organs. I do hope to do more of this kind of thing and with any luck the videos will improve. Also keep in mind that the primary goal is to track audio and working by myself makes it difficult to even remember to take photos for the scrapbook, let alone record video with any success. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtZgo_LrDvY This is fun.

hookedonhydro Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) This was my first set of studios pics: You can tell how dated this is by the M$ kbd.. that was hot s#!+ back in the day. Maybe even one of the first wireless kbd's? My first piece of gear was the blue bad boy, the Yamaha RM1X, then the virus b, a birthday gift from a friend, and from that point on.. well.. it's been a long ride. You can tell how dated the Polaroids are, that Micro$oft keyboard just came out, as did t Edited April 9, 2011 by hookedonhydro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookedonhydro Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Then in 2005, I got rid of a lot of stuff, ie, she didn't bother to tell me she forgot her to take her pill.. got him! Best mistake of my life. He's almost 7 and im going to expose him to the creative process very soon.. http://a4.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/150/58ef5b0a6f1c47caaf9c4d56283393b5/l.jpg After purchasing a Mackie Control and 2 extenders, one of the extenders malfunctioned and Mackie actually sent me a control extender that said C4 on the LCD! I asked nicely for a C4 instead of the replacement extender they sent and they were very accommodating, and admittedly embarrassed at their mistake. Not a bad deal, the C4 made for a great nightlight! This is what im workin with now.. and as much as I love gear, I have never been more productive and content. You can overwhelm yourself and find you never have the time to master any one piece. The Machine Drum and the RM1X are the only two pieces I have owned that I can say I knew that well.. You don't NEED an Andromeda.. It's 3k! You can buy ALOT of Mcdoubles with that kinda cash! Save your money, It's sick, but not worth 3k.. And really, give me logic, a controller, 2 turn tables and a mixer, and i'll have a blast! http://www.youtube.com/user/hookedonhydro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
