Hey, I was wondering what should a pro studio should include?
I am wondering because I was talking to old head musician who has work in pro studios around US. I told him I wanted to go spend six or seven thousand Buck on buying some equipment and building a studio. Yeah he started laughing at me.
Then he told me people spent $100,000 and around to build pro studios.
I never been to a pro studio, but the old head told me I can come with him when he goes there to record. But he said I will not be able to go in the control room (rules) but I can look through glass. And it killed my excitement.
Anyway I wanted to know what would be a reasonable amount of money spent on a studio to be able to produce Pros or not so Pros but defiantly pro sounding tracks.
I figured that pro studio should include following.
At least
A 64 Ch mixer with surround sound (Monitors , amps etc..)
Fx (bunch maybe)
Dat
Computer with Protools (then one will need to add interfaces to the list. need maybe I am not sure if one needs it if Recording on Dat )
Drum set with Mics and stuff
Guitars
Vocal booth ( mic preamp )
Acustic treatment.
Few workstation (Kurz.. korg .. roland)
Controller keyboard (maybe some workstations might do the job)
And a lot of Samplers or modules (not sure how many would do or what kind. how can one use more then one at a time )
What else guys? I would really like to know what kind of Samplers and modules and if there would be an easier way? (or cheaper but the final tracks coming out must be accepted by any major label)
Setup should be able to cover HIP HOP R&B POP DANC JAZZ and some ROCK
I would appreciate any kind of informational thought.
Thanks
