There's a reason for actual professional recording engineers- so we can do the recording and use our many years of study & practice to making things sound good and dealing with all the inevitable equipment anomalies, and the musicians can focus on making great music. |
I am actually moving out to arkansas (or somwhere else) regardless of recording. I just figured I could get some tips on what type of home I should look for to save money in the long run on upgrading it later for recording. Of course I will learn more and more as time passes, but I might as well learn some of the basics now since I a going to be investing in a house right now anyways. For example, the excellent tip regarding slab versus raised foundation: I didn't know this; now I do and will save much money later because of it. Also to buy a home with taller ceilings if possible etc. I am buying a home anyways, so I am saving money by asking now.
If I can buy two different homes for $50k, one with raised foundation and low ceilings, or one with slab and high ceilings.. now I know which one to buy, with the help from people here. Or if I can buy a property with a large out buildign with very tall ceilings etc, for the same price. This is why I am asking now. Later on, as I research more and with practical experience, I can decide how then to upgrade the more easily upgradeable home to more suitable standards for recording.
Thanks,
James
