What do I use for Portrait lighting in a home studio?

May 282010

My growing photography business is in need of an actual studio, but I don’t want to double my bills! What can I use for lighting in a home based studio? I’d like to keep my options on the relatively inexpensive side. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the off camera flash…I didn’t even think of that! And, by the way, your photos are beautiful!!

You can pick up cheaper lights at home depot like this not professional but it works

You can start out with one light and get big white cardboard to help add or fill light.

Affordable Mastering for the Home Studio

May 252010

In this video, I demonstrate how to use a sound editor to master a track using nothing but bundled plug-ins. Effects used include parametric EQ, multi-band compression, stereo expansion and hard limiting. These could be combined with other effects (tube compressor, very slight reverb, etc.) or used in a different order. This is just one of many ways to affordably sweeten up your tracks and get them ready for distribution.

What is the best recording microphone if you are trying to setup a home studio?

May 222010

I’ve been writing music for a while, but I’ve never had the chance to record any of it. I was thinking about creating a home studio, but I wanted to make sure I have the best equipment possible. I’m serious about this, so be as honest as possible

Here is a great little article on setting up a home studio: http://www.audioneeds.com/forums/content.php?3-The-Startup-Studio

You should check out that site at http://www.audioneeds.com – it’s a nice community filled with audio engineers who are there to help guide you in the direction you’re trying to go. There is a whole section in their forums about microphones too! Anyway, check it out :)

what tools do i need to create a home studio to record music?

May 192010

what do i need to create my own home studio? something that will give a very nice quality and where can i purchase these things?

First off, you don’t need tools. You need studio equipment. Assembling a good home studio can be tricky. You can spend a lot of money and get very low results. In your home studio you need this:

* Microphone + Pop filter + PreAmp
* SoundCard – Interface
* Cables
* Recording Software

If the budget is not a problem, I really recommend you to buy a good microphone. That’s the core of your home studio. My favorite is on Rode NT1A Anniversary Vocal Condenser Microphone ($229):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QAUOKS?ie=UTF8&tag=rp1-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002QAUOKS

The package comes with a Popshield, Shockmount and XLR Cable. This condenser mic requires a some kind of phantom power. An alternative is to buy a cheap preamp, but I’m sure your soundcard is not too good, so we have to combine those. We still gave $120. In that budget you can buy M-Audio MobilePre USB Mobile Preamp and Audio Interface ($99):
features:
* 2 x 2 16-bit/48kHz analog I/O w/ preamps
* 2 microphone inputs (XLR balanced) with 48v phantom power
* 2 high-impedance instrument/line inputs (balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS)
* Zero-latency hardware direct monitoring (mono/stereo) with software level control
* USB-powered for total mobility
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000TP57E?ie=UTF8&tag=rp1-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0000TP57E

As a recording software you can use Audacity (google it). It’s one of the best open source multi-track recording software!

If this is over your budget, consider viewing another alternative:

Led Zeppelin- Bring It On Home (STUDIO VERSION)

May 132010

Lyrics:
Baby, baby… I’m gonna bring it on home to you.
I’ve got my ticket, I’ve got that load. Conducter gone hollered, all aboard.
Take my seat, right way back. ooh yeah. Watch this train roll down the track.
I’m gonna bring it on home, Bring it on home to you.
Watch out, watch out…

Try to tell you baby, what you tryin’ to do?
Tryin’ to love me baby, love some other man too.
Bring it on home…

Went a little walk downtown, messed and got back late.
Found a note there waiting, it said, “Daddy, I just can’t wait.”
Bring it on home… Bring it back home to me baby…

Tell you, pretty baby, you love to mess me `round.
I’m gonna give you lovin’, baby, gonna move you out o’ town.
Bring it on home…

Sweetest little baby, daddy ever saw.
I’m gonna give you lovin’ baby, I’m gonna give you more.
Bring it on home…

Bring it on home, Bring it on home to you…
