The Commercial Side Of Building A Recording Studio

Basically, building a studio is a technical matter

. But then there are really so many things to consider in doing so. That includes considering the commercial factors.

Professional recording studios are estimated to cost tens of thousands of dollars. The most expensive recording studios even cost well over 1 million dollars to construct. Average professional-grade home recording studio estimated costs about $10,000 to $25,000. Smaller project studios or freelance voice talent home studios could range $2,500 to $5,000.

Those figures, though just a rough estimation can help to determine what kind of particular studio that you will be putting up. One thing that is so sure, the purchase of a professional-grade home recording studio is the largest, most tangible investment that will be made in the life of a voice-over career.

If you have that enough budgets, why not go for it? Purchasing equipment by the business owner turns to be a hard asset. In due time, if really needed, it can be sold in order to raise funds to purchase newer, more efficient equipment in the future. Just keep in mind that these hard assets are also subject to depreciation.

When it comes to marketability, choosing a location is an important issue. The chose location mostly depends on the intended market for the studio. In some cases, studios are located for easy access by local clients. Those who can't compete with the high-class studios preferred targeting the lower class bracket of target customers. On the other hand, some studio owners preferred a location in the country for a more quite working ambience, or higher pretentiousness factor. Such a studio would normally be residential.

The size of your studio is also need to figure out clearly. Like for instance, if you want to record 100-piece orchestras, then it's obvious, you'll need a very large studio room. Many larger commercial paraphernalia have several separate studios within them offering sometimes-overlapping spaces for different types of work. This is practical, because the recording process often has different phases with different needs.

A 24/7 access for arriving and departing clients of the studios can be a choice but sometimes, not really a must. In some special circumstances this might not be required. A studio dealing with large-scale recording will have good access for the transport of large-scale equipment - stairs and narrow alleyways doesn't really suit.
