MM3 STUDIOS

Archive for October, 2009

I want to build me a really professional studio at my house like where I could record music. How much do you think it would cost and do you know any websites that could help me?

Aside from the cost of the recording equipment, actually getting the right sound proofing can either be hugely expensive or phenomenally cheap.Sound does not have a preference when it comes to how much you have spent. There is plenty of room for ingenuity and it is not nessacary to spend gobs of money…which more than a handful of companies would be glad to take off of your hands.

Lets go with false walls. A false wall is one that covers an existing wall with a second layer of some material. The denser the better..sheet rock is easy and not expensive especially since it can be bought discounted from a home improvement store from the damaged goods. A torn corner on drywall makes it useless to the store to try and sell and they’ll let you have it for pennies on the dollar. It’s fine because you are going to cover it with another material anyway and the damage will not be visible.
You can cover the wall with things like acoustic tiles or soundboard garnered from construction contractors for free. When they end up with excess stuff they’ll give it to you.
Me and my band were working out how to install our false walls when we realized that we didn’t have to make them permanently fixed to the existing walls, we found that we could just hang them like movable panels by installing some furring strip(cheap) at the top of the existing walls, and then the same at the tops of our panels. Then just hang the panels in place. This gave a minimal amount of actual contact between the wall and panel…virtually stopping all transferred vibration….
I could go on and on…but you are probably getting the idea…be resourceful and use some creativeness.

note: whenever acoustic tiles are used, seal the edges with a good spray on adhesive to avoid the edges from wafting of dust and never use foam padding as it could easily catch on fire. Keep it tight and safe.

I was just curious to see if anyone knew of any synthesizer software that’s free to download for the computer. I don’t have any recording equipment to record music onto the computer or a synth piece of hardware.

Just something to make some beats on to get started as a hobby type thing. Any links to sites for download would be much appreciated
Thanks for the answers so far, but does anyone know if there is a full version? Again just curious.

Abelton Live is a good starting point, which allows you to use your computer keyboard as the hardware keyboard. Trial version can be downloaded from http://www.ableton.com/live
Another software is Fruity Loops. Trial version from http://flstudio.image-line.com/

Other good piece of S/W synthesizer is Reason. However you do need an external MIDI Hardware keyboard to utilize it.

Alright, me and my Dad are about to invest into a home recording studio and we need to know everything about everything. Like some good recording hardware and software, if we should get an electric or acoustic drum set and if so what’s good, and like what type of computer we should use. PRICES ARE A MUST!!!! You know, just the basics. Genres recorded will be: Jazz, Metal, and MAYBE Rap.

I would at least start with an electric drum set, like the roland one. It doesn’t sound 100% real, but it is so much easier than trying to record real drums, its almost impossible to make real drums sound good. I just use garageband to mix the tracks, and I use a korg recording system. Also, I recommend one good mic for the singing, but you don’t need anything too fancy for instruments. Look at the violet black knight microphone, its expensive, but it makes vocals sound awesome.

I’m willing to spend 60.00 for a good music recording software that can let me record voice and instrument simultaneously. What is a good software that lets me record simultaneously?
I also dont like softwares that only let you record one instrument at a time. I also need something easy.

Adobe Audition but its expensive to buy

I have a SONY handycam ( CCD-TRV27E ) which uses Hi8 video cassettes. How do i convert it to CD/digital recording. I can watch my wedding video only on the cam:-( I want to watch it my PC or TV. So how do i put the data on a CD? Pls Help.

You will need a device like the one I have http://www.adstech.com/products/API-557-EFS/intro/api557_intro.asp?pid=API-557-EFS or a video capture card, DVD writer, video editor and DVD authoring & burning software.
