Pennywizz6,

I am about to do the same thing as you'll do, I mean turn the garage at my parents house into a home recording studio. I think we have a lot to discuss...!

The garage at my parents house has two rooms: one for a band and one small room for the production and editing. My project is basically a keyboard,guitar,vocals thing produced by myself, so that's why I'll spend most of the time in the small editing room. That room is currently finished and I'm about to equip it with production tools now.
What I'd like to achieve is basically a music laboratory, I mean production at a very low level. My main focus is surround sound. That expresses advanced mixing together with basic laws in dynamics and really trying to discover what role surround plays in music and what kind of relationship there is between a musician that expresses himself in a state of incredible lightness in digital format in a way that collides with what surrounds sound really brings. My focus with the project is also to get a basic understanding of the key elements in rich sound both overall and per instrument and then learn how to maximize productivity and making good decisions in the studio when creativity, technology and knowledge is united.

Currently I'm thinking about where in the room I should place each unit I have. I am also thinking about what soundcard I should by. I am thinking about the RME Fireface 800.

What kind of recording setup will you run?

Please respond!

Best regards,
YamahaAndy
