The Ultimate Home Studio

November 302009

This video tour shows RealTraps partner Doug Ferrara’s fabulous basement home studio. Doug and Ethan Winer explain how it was treated and why, and along the way they present many interesting and related topics.

If you have technical questions about this video that require a reply, please do not post them here as comments. YouTube is not a good venue for a technical exchange. Please post your questions in whatever audio forum you know me from, or post in my acoustics forum at www.musicplayer.com.

    If I shut up, it wouldn’t be much of a video would it? :->)

    As we explained near the end of the video, there’s about $12,000 worth of RealTraps bass traps and diffusors. You may also be interested to see our newer video “Hearing is Believing” – click my name above and look for All Uploads to find it.

    What is the best software if I want to be able to record actual instruments, write music (the same way either finale/sibelius or FL studio does), use loops, make beats and be able to edit it? Im looking for a software that does all of this, will work in a home studio. It doesnt matter if its for mac or pc either. Any suggestions?

    I’m glad to answer, but YouTube comments is not a good venue for a technical discussion. Best to ask at Gearslutz or my acoustics forum at MusicPlayer (dot com).

    Thanks guys…informative stuff. Question: In a very small (attic) room with large amounts of reverberation from the close walls, is it best to try to put absorbtion material everywhere possible, or leave gaps in between?
    thanks

    I guess you need a Firewire port. YouTube comments is not a great place for a technical discussion. I suggest you ask at an audio forum like MusicPlayer or Gearslutz or Harmony Central.

    I have no idea how much Doug wants. Maybe check Ebay for current prices. I’m not a fan of Firewire type mixers. Doug had a Presonus and said it was terrible. Better to get a regular mixer and regular sound card / interface IMO.

    Oh, too bad I’m from the Philippines. how much? just wanted to know the price range. Would you recommend the tascam dm3200 or presonus’ studiolive?
