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.

totally on the money gdoubleyou - in terms of fixing a market niche
and having a robust and credible business plan - or it could mean tears further down the line - I think that specialisation can be useful so that you are not competing with larger studios offering the same as you but bigger and flashier the studios that are minting it in london are the analogue specialists with all the retro amps and synths (dont start me on that one) and old flagship ssl / neve consoles - for those bands that want to 'capture that 60s sound, man!)- snobbery basically ( as a techno man i find it all rather tiresome, either it bangs or it dont) for gods sake dont go down the corporate / voice over route - it will eat your soul and make you rotund specialise as far down the line as you can - if you are out in the sticks you can source some great old gear from educational institutions then add the finishing touches with bang up to date daw with all the best plug ins analogue/digital hybrid doesnt cost a fortune and can attract business thropugh an interesting gear list This post has been edited by gogmagog: Tue 28 Mar 2006, 10:39 |
