| i live in a row home and built a studio with no problems..
but i wouldn't rent in todays studio economy..if i had to I would buy..I know too many studio owners who leased space and when they closed ..well some gear appreciates in value but other? how many sony 48 track dig are 2500 dollar boat anchors now?
we owned our facility in Phila and when it was time to sell a few years ago the real estate market had just skyrocketed in our area [plus we had the bld since the late 60's..
i had the opportunity to rent instead of building in my home..i opted for HOME..i mix cut vox and do small overdubs here and when i need to i pay 20hr to rent a 2000 square foot space with 18 foot ceilings with and assistant included, protools and a good assortment of pre's and mics
i used layering of diff density material whicjh really cut down on sound transmission..but we all know that sound finds a way out like water in a leaky fish tank..ya gotta plug all the holes as best you can and at times ya just have to do it and then tweak it tweak it tweak it |
