Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Determine what kind of studio you want to have. If you are planning on recording entire bands, you need to plan accordingly to have enough space. If you are only doing post-production, you need far less space and can often just use a spare bedroom or a den.
Step2
If you are building big and need the space of a full studio, call in a professional to handle the construction. Not only do you need to take care of the construction of the actual physical studio, you need to plan for the acoustics and wiring of a full studio. This is rarely a do-it-yourself job and you should consult with a professional.
Step3
If you are modifying your existing space, then you need to look only at equipment and acoustics. Map out what you will need before putting it all together to make things easier. Figure out exactly what equipment you will need to make your studio complete and map out how you would like to set it up. Once you know how the equipment should be arranged, you can plan your acoustics.
Step4
Connect the equipment. Once you know where it's all going, put it all there. If you aren't technically savvy, call a professional to run your cables and wires and make sure your studio is working the way you want it. Once it is in place, you can begin to sound proof the room based on the acoustics. Some rooms don't need much work, but some will need complete remodeling.Having a basic understanding of signal flow is very helpful in this step, as it will help you connect your own equipment, as well as troubleshooting any problems you may have later on.
Step5
Customize your studio however you'd like and start bringing in clients or co-workers. Once your equipment is set up, you theoretically have a home studio.If you plan on letting others use your studio, either for production or recording, you might want to plan a lounge area for those that aren't sitting in directly on each session.
