Hey,I’m doing a paper at uni on the way in which Home/Project Recording Studios are becoming more and more a part of today’s mainstream music industry. I would be great to get some ideas of examples where home studios have had a significant effect on an artist’s career, or a small (or large!lol) record label’s rise, or the quality of a song or soundtrack that would be readily recognised..
Please e-mail me if anything of help comes to mind… i’ll be sure to send you a copy of the finished project…lol.
Kind regards.

A VERY good idea! Since many of the people I work with are homestudio owners, I will let them know about your site in my next newsletter. Thanks for the great resource.

Hi Kenny!
I’m looking forward to building a studio in my new home’s basement. Concrete floors and walls all around… what do you suggest to best sound proof the room from the rest of the house and of course outside/inside the house?

Hey Brodi,
Congrats on the new home and the space allocated for your studio. Well you have half the battle won already (Concrete Floors and Walls).
There are many alternatives. The vary by price.
You can start with inexpensive foam egg carton style panels
moving up to thick industrial carpeting
to professional MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) or Hardboard (Involving possible construction – (Floor and ceiling panels)).
It depends on your budget.
One note: depending on what level you would like to build your studio at (Basic to elaborate home set-up).
You may want to look at professional sound treatment.
Meaning a professional acoustic treatment specialist to come in and assess your space and recommend appropriate sonic solutions such as ” Bass Traps (Sound Baffles that can capture low frequency sound)etc.
But then again it depends on your budget.
Hope this was helpful.
Best
Kenny
