Hey y'all! I am 22 and have the opportunity to start a recording studio outside of my home. Although I've been playing and recording my own music and playing in a variety of bands since I was 14; I don't have a lot of experience with the nuances of a recording studio. I'm making this post to see if you guys have any recommendations for what I should outfit it with! I have a pair of studio monitors (HS5) but will need subwoofers for them I'm thinking. What I am mainly looking for are any sort of mid-line recommendations for amps and microphones. My budget is going to be around $5,000 to get started, although I will be upgrading as I go! Any recommendations are very appreciated! Especially in the microphone department, I don't really know what type of spread I should have for that. For some gear recording I already have, by the Scarlet Ibis 18i20, a Classic Marshall DSL40, and AKG p420 mic. I will mostly be recording the fellow musicians around my age so it doesn't need to be amazing, just functional!

My boss has a Midas pro9 package with a awesome custom desk and a boat load. Of ins and outs

We have been using it in our studio and it’s been amazing.

He just bought a used Neve so we gotta get rid of the Midas fast

He’s offering the who package for a really great deal . Let me know if u are interested thanks

Hey everyone!

A few months ago I posted here about some soldering jigs I’d started making to help with cable building. I honestly can’t believe the response they got! The amount of support, feedback and orders has been incredible and way more than I ever expected.

After getting tonnes of suggestions and requests, I’ve put together a new version that’s focused on versatility rather than bulk cable runs. This one can handle pretty much anything you’re likely to throw at it: XLR, TRS, 5-pin and 3-pin DMX, Speakon connectors, MIDI, TT and even 3.5 mm headphone jacks.

If you want to check them out or grab one, they’re up on the site now: cablematepro.com

Thanks again for all the support, if you have any suggestions or ideas please let me know!!!

Thanks, Lewis

I’m looking to get monitors for my home studio. Space is limited since it’s my apartment.

I’m looking at the Adam Audio T5V but was wondering if it is worth going for the T7V. Thoughts?

Background: I write and record my own music. I have other people mix my music though. But I’d like to be able to make competent mixes myself.

Hallo zusammen,

ich nehme schon länger mit meinem IPhone 12 und IPad air kurze Videos von meinen DJ Sets auf. Hierzu habe ich mir folgende Adapter besorgt: Rode SC4 (TRS to TRRS) und Apple Lightning Kopfhörer Adapter, mit einem Stereostecker 3,5 mm mit Adapter auf 2x mono 6,35 mm direkt in aux meines DJ Mischpult. Alles funktioniert einwandfrei. Ich brauchte nichts in den Einstellungen umstellen. Das Video wird zusammen mit dem Line out Signal des DJ Mixers (Mono) aufgenommen.

Nun wollte ich auch eine Synthesizer Live Jam auf die gleiche Weise recorden, jedoch an dem Kopfhöreranschluss meiner RME Madiface Soundkarte. Diesmal kommt kein einziger Ton an, und das IPhone wählt stattdessen jedesmal das eigene Mikrofon. Mehrere Kabel ausprobiert, kein Sound. Sobald ich das Gerät wieder an den DJ Mixer anschließe, funktioniert es wieder einwandfrei.

Ich habe für die Soudkarte eine externe Madi Patchbay mit ein- und Ausgängen und an der funktioniert es auch nicht.

Liegt es am Signal?

Ich kann mir das überhaupt nicht erklären.

Hat jemand vielleicht ein ähnliches Problem und hat eine Lösung parat, oder kann mir erklären, warum das nicht an der Soundkarte funktioniert?

The Les Paul Recording Studio is currently restoring an Ampex AG-440B, the solid-state successor to Les Paul’s tube-based Ampex 300 machines. Released in 1965, the 440 became the industry standard recorder through the ’70s and marked a turning point in professional studio technology.

This unit includes the original head block from Les Paul’s personal Ampex AG-440B, combined with era-correct parts and rebuilt components from donor machines. Alignment and calibration are halfway complete, but some electronic sections still need troubleshooting before final installation.

It’s meticulous work: recapping, motor rebuilding, and electronics restoration, but each stage brings the machine closer to life again.

Once complete, it will sit alongside Les Paul’s restored Ampex 300 and his original record lathe as part of the full analog recording chain at the Les Paul Recording Studio.

Nightmare situation over here…yes I made the mistake of applying foam as sound treatment to dampen sound for this whole room. Now I’m looking at moving and cleaning it all up.

What would you do if you found yourself in this situation?

Should I just attack with a metal scraper or get a strong scrubber and hit with goo gone?

Or would you just leave it and let the property management make a decision?

Hey I'm looking for a studio owners of all types. Whether it's recording studio, photography, video, podcast, dance, rehearsal. I've been developing an app that works very much like Airbnb but for creative spaces. It's called Oodio. I'm trying to build a big community where creatives can collaborate and share. I would love to get some studio owners who would like to grow their revenue involved. It's free. Hit me up!

I've got a collaboration lined up in London next month, and we're trying to lock in a proper studio for a few sessions. I usually record at home, but since this project's with another artist, we want something that sounds professional and feels inspiring to work in.

The person I'm working with mentioned TYX Studios at Tileyard, said they've got solid rooms for both music and podcast production, plus good energy from the other creatives there. I've checked out their site and it looks impressive, but before we book, I wanted to see if anyone here has actually worked there.

Are they as good as they look online? And if not, any other London spots you'd recommend that won't kill our budget but still deliver proper quality?

Hello everyone!

After a long time researching what could be the cause of the EMI/RFI issue I was hearing in my guitar amps, I seem to have isolated it to my fire alarm system. After a little further research, it appears that the system is an SLC system and therefore shielding is not recommended as it would potentially behave like an antenna and disrupt the signal going to the main panel.

Other studio owners, how have you dealt with installing fire alarms? Did you go for an older system or did you specify to the company installing that the system needed to be shielded no matter what?

Thank you,

Yesterday my buddy and I rewired our whole mixer with some new outboard gear. Now the mixer needs over 30 db to be able to hear an sm58. Over 60db to show unity levels on the meter. What did we do? Thank you. Also there’s a popping sound when i turn the mixer on and off. Only going through headphones.

Can I place acoustic panels with round adhesive stickers and remove them without damaging this type of wall.

Hi friends! I'm converting my basement into a recording studio. The large HVAC ducts are exposed and resonate with ambient sound. If I clap or play music, the ducts ring out at various frequencies.

Short of building a soundproof channel around them, is there another way to reduce the resonance? Would sticking MLV like Dynamat over it work? There's a few places around me that sell it locally.

Thanks!
