Home Studio Project
My Home Studio Project
This past summer I started and completed a home studio project where I could make my music in a more user friendly environment. The article series was posted on another of my blogs which I am taking down as soon as the data transfer is completed.
After four long years of saving money, I had finally saved enough money to build my new home studio in an unfinished area of my basement. It was planned to be a 200 square foot room specifically slated to be a music space, my music space!
This series of articles is about that project. The articles include; how the entire project got started, the flooring, adding two new walls, adding all new electrical wiring and outlets/plugins, framing, wall materials, lighting and finish trim, in short, adding a new room to my home.
Over the next couple of weeks I will be posting a total of five articles just on this studio project, complete with photos and written information on how I was able to build my home studio without the use of electrical tools, with the exception of a drill. Everything else was done using only hand tools and a little muscle.
This home studio project was never intended to be a world class $1, 000,000 studio rather it was planned to be constructed on a $2,000 budget. It was a home studio project where I would supply most all of the hand labor and where most of the supplies and the majority of the raw materials were purchased from Home Depot.
All of the music making tools including the computers, musical instruments, software, hardware and additional equipment were already purchased and their costs were not part of the budget for the room.
This post is more or less simply an introduction to the project. OK – So, now it has been about six months since I finished my home studio project. Below are links to the posts related to different parts of the project. Please feel free to browse at your leisure.
