What is it made of? What will you need to do to tame the sonic properties of the space? Then make sure you think about things like whether you’re too close to a residential area, this is important because if they start complaining and you’ve not checked with your local council or authority they will just close you down or at least make a good go of it. Once all that is in place, make sure that the room/space you’ve found is correct for what you need. The Live Rooms at AIR and Real World Studios… They’re quite big. It’s better to start small and crush it than go huge and let it crush you. Remember that if all goes well and you grow out of that space, you can always move and expand. Make sure you know exactly what you’re looking for and make sure you have a good understanding of property and space prices in the area you are looking.Ī good thing to remember is that, although you probably want a really sick looking studio with loads of room that matches up to those of AIR or Real World, you probably don’t have that budget and not only that, your clients starting out probably don’t have budget to record in a space like that so look for somewhere that is within your means. Whether you’re renting or attempting to buy a space outright. Of course all of this factors into the cost of the space as well. If you’re just using the space for writing and maybe some vocal work, do you really need a live room big enough for a drum kit and some amps? Do you even need a live room? The reason this is important is that essentially this determines the size of your studio. What I mean by ‘What is the studio going to be used for? Are you going to be recording bands live? Are you going to need enough space to fit a Grand Piano in? Are you going to want to record choirs? Are you just producing beats, record voice overs, writing music?Ģ different types of studios: one for recording, one for composing. When it comes to looking for a space, the thing to keep at the forefront of your mind is ‘What is the studio going to be used for?’ This probably sounds like a dumb question to ask yourself because obviously it’s for making music… duh. So obviously this is a pretty obvious point but it’s also probably the most important because without a space you can’t have a studio really….
