Home Studios

Always interesting to see how some people set up recording environments in their home. Most home studios are pretty poor places to record music. The biggest issues are inexperience and acoustics. The gear is a factor but talented engineers can do some pretty amazing things with very limited resources.

I came across this site. The control room looks like a typical basement recording rig. Not sure how I would mix in such a space. Hard, reflective, square spaces are quite unfriendly. I guess the main speakers on concrete blocks provide some level of acoustic decoupling.

The drumset is pretty impressive. I suppose I am old school. The cables, although colourful, are a mess. If I ever laid cables like that in a commercial facility, I would be fired.
