Question 1

How much does a home studio cost?

Robin Vincent · Accepted Answer

If you have a home and computer then it doesn’t have to cost anything. A pair of headphones and some free music making software is a valid place to start. If you want to record vocals and instruments and play software sounds then a basic setup of an audio interface, MIDI controller and a microphone would start at around $200.

Question 2

Are recording studios dying?

Robin Vincent · Accepted Answer

The position of the traditional recording studio has certainly changed as computers and the lowering cost of musical equipment has enabled many people to do similar things at home. However, once you have a band or a number of performers then a professional space in which to record them is very useful. You also shouldn’t underestimate the skills of the people who work in studios. While we can do awesome things at home it doesn’t mean we have the ability to do so. And so recording studios still have their place and aren’t going anywhere.

Question 3

How does a studio make money?

Robin Vincent · Accepted Answer

A studio can make money in a number of ways. It can rent out the studio space and equipment with or without trained professionals to help you produce your music. The studio can act as the producer for your project and work with you to create the best music you can. Studios can also provide training, be used as rehearsal space or even provide a venue for a live or live-streamed performance. Studios may also take on the work of producing music directly for clients.
