In this week’s Audio Premium content, Mo Volans continues his series on how to put together the perfect production tool kit. Today he focuses on putting together a perfect studio at the right price.

To learn more about what you get as part of Audio Premium, read this. To take a peek inside this tutorial, hit the jump!

In the last instalment of this series we concentrated on the virtual processors you will need to complete the typical mix. In this section we are going to move away from software and move into the physical world, taking a look at the hardware and equipment you’ll need to own to get the job done.

Although a typical studio setup these days can be pretty basic there are a few essential pieces of kit any musician will need to put together their first projects. Our guide you through the essentials here, breaking each piece down and explaining exactly what it does.

I’m aware that readers budgets will vary pretty drastically and I’ll try to present a few options here that should suit everybody’s pocket. Don’t be too concerned about budget though as you don’t need to spend all your savings together great sound.

    Thanks Adrian, no need to apologise. I wanted to see this tut as after 10 years mixing in a near broom cupboard ive nearly finished my new studio build (exciting times). Ive spent a lot of money on the building work and ensuring everything is up to scratch and im at the final point of inside room treatment so I was very interested to see the pic of Mo’s home studio and the amount of acoustic treatment he had. I really liked the look of the treatment he had on the ceiling above his chair, can you ask him, or do you know where I could get similar treatment from?

    Cheers
    Greg
