My boyfriend and I have our anniversary coming up soon and I wanted to do something special for him, he has always wanted a recording studio to recod his raps and stuff. I was wondering If anyone new like a cheep home recording studio package I could get for him to start out with?
To give you an idea of the bottom of the line, basic system:
For an actual mixing board, some decent studio monitors and a couple of budget microphones along with all the associated cables and misc electronics to make it all work, I would say you could put something that wasn't completely laughable together for about $5,000
If you add sound deadening to a dedicated stupid room in the house, along with a double insulated sound proof window in one wall, so that the engineer can sit in the other room, you are probably adding another $5,000 to do it the cheapest way possible without sacrificing too much quality.
I know this sounds like a lot, if you aren't into this... BUT, if you want to do it without sparing expense, and not shopping with price in mind over quality, it is almost impossible to do this even halfway right without spending $50,000.
Your best bet is to find out what he has in mind for a studio. Perhaps his needs and wants are more modest than I am thinking.
Ask him what his home studio will have in it when he has the chance to do it. Make mental notes, and come back here. Post the details in a question directly to me, and I will price something out for you. [ DangerNerd's advice column | Ask DangerNerd A Question ]
