Studios

Is there a good reason the person using it can’t produce the electricity via a small electrical generator? Why can’t users of a fitness studio through their activity not produce enough electricity to run the electrics for the whole building? Or at least of the piece of equipment one is using?

This is less of an engineering question and more of an economics question. Most companies that build fitness equipment are not in the electronics industry. Thus it is much simpler for the firms to put out equipment that uses simple off the shelf components that plug into the wall. The circuitry and parts needed to do this are not ready to go in an easy to use fashion for a company that doesn’t really do much electronics engineering. Someday these types of packages might become widely available and be put into just about everything. If/When that day comes I am sure they will be implemented into the treadmill. Right now such a system would add a large cost into the treadmill, which will partially offset the monetary gains made by supplying its own power. A lot of time and effort would need to go into this system, so it is not just the additional component costs that have to be added in. Remember workout equipment often times is beat on and shaken a lot, so the electronics would also have to be somewhat rugged. Also, thing about something like a treadmill, it takes quite a lot of power to turn the path beneath you. This means that the energy storage system would have to be massive. This again adds a lot to the cost.

So to sum it up, it comes down to the economics. It would cost a lot, have very little short term gain (extra expense of machines), would take much longer to produce due to the larger engineering problem, and would wind up being bigger and taking up more space in the gym.

Very large flash set ups, Flash meters, Backgrounds etc etc.

Looking for equipment such as stands, props and backdrops.

Greetings from Holland, too!
For stands, backdrops, lights, reflectors, etc. you can order everything on-line at B&H: http://www.bhphotovideo.com
For feedback on what (not) to get, try the forums at DP Review: http://www.dpreview.com

I have a very basic digital sla camera, photoshop and a computer. I have found a small shop to set it up in. I have worked in a portrait studio in the past. Any advice on setting up a small business also appreciated and best place to get the equipment.
Thanx for answers. Why do I need a computer with 8 gig ram? Would 3 gig do until I get a bit more cash together?

You have worked in a portrait studio so you should already know the basic equipment (camera, couple of lights, background at the most basic). But you obviously have not thought about the rest of it.
where how are the shots going to be developed/printed
how are you going to get them to your customers
how are you going to take payment
how are you going to get customers through the door

All very basic stuff to think of/sort out before you start

My fiancee and son are building a recording studio. I want the best equipment but reasonably priced for recording, such as software for making loops etc. The best computer that can hold the graphics and sounds as well as good amps, keyboarding, microphones etc.

Thanks so much for your help in this matter.

Also I am learning to play lead and bass guitar.

Computer – home studios usually opt for high end macs, because of their audio drivers and general reliability. As far as software – FL studio is pretty good for people starting up, Ableton Live is also widely used, Reason, Cubase are also good. Don’t look into amps in the beggining, just get really high quality studio headphones. To start up get a powerful computer a good program like FL Studio and a pair of high quality headphones/studio monitors. Add hardware as you go along and understand your needs better, but the above 3 you will need no matter what.

I would advise againt making exprensive hardware purchases like synthesizer, mixers in the beggining, because everyone has different needs. I know it’s probably not what you want to hear, but when you try to save money you’re only hurting yourself. You want to find someone who really knows their stuff in a music store and ask then and you can actually feel and hear the equipment before you make the decision to buy.

Can you Record with DJ equipment like if you were in a recording studio???

Recording studio equipment is usually much more expensive than typical dj gear because it is better quality. DJ gear is built to be moved around etc. so in this way they are very different and dj gear is not as multi channel/ multi-track as studio stuff. (Note the Zoom H4 for an inexpensive, portable multi track digital recorder.)
