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'm going to hire the studio out. Thats one of the reasons why I want a digi desk as all the studio's I've been to have them. If I want people to pay a reasonable hourly rate I need decent hardware which is also aesthtically pleasing. Silly as it seem's that can make a lot of difference to customers. Where as the sequencers are concerned I"ve used dp & audio desk before but no one else I know has, in fact alot of my friends haven't even heard of it so I"m thinking I'll get a more popular sequencer like logic also/instead. The condenser mic & compressor you spoke of any particular models in mind?

Hello If you're thinking of renting out your space, you might consider spending some money on a decent acoustic design. Such that at least the RT60 in your mixing room is less than the RT60 in your live room. otherwise you'll never hear your mixes properly even if you have a ton of great toys.... It will pay dividends later... Unfortunately good gear has got cheaper but good acoustics haven't... good luck

I think that sounds about right... remember too that there are many people who make their living buying up and selling off the equipment from new studios that went phuttt!!! Now if you bought your gear from them... apart from any karmic consequences.. you could be ahead of the 8 ball! But having said that... be brave and trust the force...(and your instincts...) Good luck. Andru

GW is spot on.
By and large, musicians don't have any money.
That said, if you have other sources of income, a studio business can be a fun tax write-off!
