Building a home recording studio takes money, time, and passion. You can easily spend thousands of dollars amassing the equipment and software you need, while you will also have to dedicate at least one room of your home to the cause. Add upset neighbors and constant distractions to the mix, and you have several good reasons not to have a home recording studio. So why do so many people choose to add these to their homes? Simply put, the advantages far outweigh any drawbacks.
The first benefit is that you will be saving a ton of money, especially if you were already using a recording studio. With fees ranging from one hundred dollars an hour up to thousands, any money you spend building and outfitting your home recording studio will be quickly recouped. Recording studios are incredibly expensive, and the better ones even more so.
A second benefit is that you will be able to produce your own tracks. As the saying goes, if you want something done right, you will have to do it yourself. Sometimes you and only you can feel your vision, which is why you should be hands-on from the writing of a song to its very end stages.
Another advantage to having a home recording studio is that you won't be bound by another recording studio's business hours. If you work best at three in the morning, that's when you can work. If you need to take a break, you won't be doing so while paying for expensive studio time. Having your own home recording studio will free you to create when you are feeling creative, not just when you are scheduled.
When you are using an outside recording studio, you are limited to their choices in equipment, hardware, and software. You have no freedom to choose a microphone that works best for you or new software that allows an effect you like. Having your own home recording studio puts all the choices on you. You will be the one who decides what equipment is needed and when to be cost effective.
Although setting up your home recording studio will be expensive and time consuming, this will be a one time cost. For years, you and your loved ones will be able to enjoy the benefits of a home recording studio for no charge at all. If you are serious about the music industry and your own career, this will allow you to put in the time and effort that breaking into this competitive business requires.
