Hi,
With a budget of between £10,000 - £12,000. Aside from sound proofing gear & a G5 mac what would you suggest I purchase/need to open a digital pro to semi pro studio? I own a korg trinity pro, motu 2408 mk2, motu midi express xt, shure sm58 a couple of guitars & a pair of mackie 624's. I wanted two sequencers, I was thinking of maybe DP5 when it's released & logic? Also been reading about soundcraft's 328xd and mackies' d8b mixers. They both sound pretty good on paper, but the d8b may be to complex for my 1st digi mixer-anyone used one of those? Anyway all suggestions are welcome.

I hope you are not going to depend exclusively on musicians for your income. If so you probably won't be in business long.
Here in the seattle region most large studios have converted into post houses, or do corporate projects exclusively. According to our local media trade paper, those studios are pulling in between 1.5 to 5 million dollars each. The one studio that caters to muscians reported about $60,000 income. so make sure you have a viable business plan. the trend is for bands to record themselves, or to use smaller boutique studios.
