Maybe you’ve read a guide on how to make a home recording studio before. There are many of them online. However, I’ve never seen one written by a professional recording studio<\/a> owner like myself.

I also built the first Current Sound location in Adelaide, Australia. I’ve been working as full-time music producer, recording, mixing & mastering engineer in the studios that I have built since 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from a typical gear list of essential items I’ll also be covering, acoustics, design, soundproofing, different types of home studios and their uses so you can work out what’s best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By the end of this guide you should learn enough to be able to make your own dream home studio without buying stuff you don’t need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find this useful, please share it on social media so others can find and read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bookmark it, share it, it’s crazy long and detailed. You won’t be able to remember it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s more like a free eBook than an article. It’s over 180 pages long and around 40k words. That’s the length of a novel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was going to make it into an eBook but I decided to put up for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did I mention it’s long? When I say it’s long, I mean super long, bigger than my …. it’s just really long man. Feel free to skip parts that you’re too lazy to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the most in depth home recording studio guide on the internet period. It will help make your home studio more awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will literally save you countless hours of reading forums, watching YouTube videos and asking those in the industry questions. Everything you need to know to start a home recording studio is all here in the one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the time of this article Los Angeles is in lockdown due to Covid-19. My professional recording studio, Current Sound, in Hollywood was forced to close and stop in person recording due to Covid-19. Many of my clients want to setup a home studio and send their songs to me to be mixed but don’t know how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rather than just making a guide for my clients, I decided to make the most in depth home studio setup guide available on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means you’re getting a rare, true, home recording studio build guide, better than almost every other one out there. I’m going to go far beyond just a gear list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are no<\/strong> affiliate links in this article and no one is paying me to write any of this or review any products<\/strong> so there are no biases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The best pro audio products aren’t always available on Amazon and often have no affiliate links. The top brands in the pro audio world are Neve, API, SSL, Trident, Daking. The top products are those from those brands as well as many small boutique companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of those products, aren’t on Amazon, so the person writing the guide will usually not include them, making most, if not all other home recording studio guides you read online suck. I couldn’t find a good one myself so I wrote this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best way you can find out about these products is by asking actual sound engineers, reading this guide which is written by a professional engineer such as myself and\/or checking out the free and loosely moderated sound engineering forums like KVR<\/a>, Sound on Sound<\/a>, Gearslutz<\/a> and the Audio Engineering forum on Reddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If something sucks, I’ll tell you. If something is good, I’ll tell you that too. That’s something you rarely get from a salesperson in a music store who gets paid on commission. To them, whatever you can afford within your budget is good even if it sucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only thing in it for me is, if you find the guide useful, do me a small favor and share this article on your social media or website so that my recording studio<\/a> can get a little extra exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you ready for the best How to Build a Home Recording Studio guide on the internet?
