oh my god I didn't even notice that. lol
This looks like sample rate 😂😂😂
Is too bad he is technologically limited to 192k subscribers… 😢
IMHO, Run shielded Cat 5/6/7... EVERYWHERE! That gets you 4 balanced taps you can put all over the place. You can send 4 Analog mic/line per run, or Dante/AVB, HDMI over Cat... etc. to locations all over the place and it is REALLY cheap and easy to make/terminate lines. Drop a CAT outlet with a couple of runs to it every 8 to 12 feet on your walls. Breakouts are cheap and easy to build. Also for big analog snakes, just build little 6-8" boxes along the length of the wall on the floor, Radiating out from a main Patch Panel for ALL Control Room Connections. Cut a vertical slot about 2" wide every 8 feet or so to run cables out and a hinged cover (just a board) on top for access. Then you can just run out sub snakes through this trough and it keeps all the lines hidden.
More business/financial discussions please. Cheers.
Any specific things to hit?
100% agree about a CPA! I pay mine a monthly retainer and it is totally worth it. He has saved me TENS OF THOUSANDS over the years. Taxes and payroll (I’m the only one on payroll) are details I don’t want to think about and they just handle it. Great video, brother. Keep it up!
Highly underrated and overlooked
Phew. Masterclass level info condensed to 15min. 🔥
you just saying that cause you have to
Just what I needed to hear because this week I’m gonna finish running the cabling from the rack to the desk in the control room and hang acoustic treatment in both the control room and the vocal booth and a pass through for mic cables and headphones so I can start my journey but there’s a bar that’s a quarter mile from my house and it’s for sale and I all most put a bid in for it but I realize I don’t have any clients yet and right now my only expenses are my electric bill, but if I were to purchase the bar now I have insurance a mortgage and an additional utility bill so I decided to build my recording studio in my basement for now because what if my studio never gets off the ground what a waste of time and money that would be but thanks for sharing
That was really useful on a practical level. Actually had been thinking about in-wall cabling. You've probably saved me money, time and ongoing hassle there. A good accountant is pretty essential, especially here living in Spain - where tax rules can be strange and onerous. Now that things have changed in the computing realm, the other point I would make is. Initially, invest in good software for what you can (compression, limiting, gating, EQing). Then, when you've well and truly settled on processing tools ITB, then you can invest in the outboard versions of the tools you love and know inside out. Knowing that it's not wasted me, since they're your most used tools. I think studio owners have a needless bias towards buying/using hardware over software. And that's not efficient, many professionals favour the total recall of plugins, especially for basic track EQ and mix utility compression, gating etc... And maybe hardware is only really needed for light processing, at tracking, for creative processing, and later when printing a final mix/master.
I live in a relatively old house (built in the 80's) and every now and then I'll have to do the plumbing fixes myself. I tell you surface mounting pipes and just making them look pretty? That'll save your ass when you're 60 and you wana save on a couple of bucks on just changing out a sink faucet.
Drummer here , loved the video ! Keep killing it !
💪
My biggest advice (and I don't do pro-audio at all: my gig is software consulting) -- find a payroll provider that handles a mix of employees (even if it is only yourself) and contractors, and get them integrated with whatever you use for accounting. Reduce all the stressors around withholding taxes and paying them to the appropriate national / regional-aka-state / local entiteies to the absolute minimum.
*And* hire the CPA / lawyer to advise you on the stuff you can expense...
👆reduce all stressors. Love it. Get rid of any hurdles and excuses. Build it into the process
Harbor Freight Moving Blankets for the win.
Best kick tunnel in the game
This is all awesome advice, I am in the networking/collaborating phase but I have had some clients and potentially more so I can see the goals and stuff in the future (I am in a bedroom I made a amateurish studio) I am looking into upgrading my mic to a more pro grade mic but hearing you say maybe something mid range could be good too. The treated room thing I worked on that too but could be better but yeah I am like starting out slowly, thanks for this vid!
Keep going 💪💪
Great video, would love to hear more about what Dante rig you would build
I've had trouble understanding what gear to use to link my recording room with my mixing room without having preamps in the recording room.
Thanks!
Right now mine is a very simple playback machine/ mix machine
Essentially you could do the same things.
I’m using a sg3500 switch and an avio output (for my speakers).
One machine plays back audio that is all sent via Dante virtual sound card outputs through the other other machine that is set up to catch those as corresponding inputs.
Lag is 4ms. And I have 64x64 channels.
I'm sorry, this has little to do with your content, but I definitely spotted the Soyuz ambisonics mic in the background! I'm dying to hear what you're cranking out of this bad boy! :-)
It’s pretty wild. And I’ve been talking to Soyuz. I don’t think I’m going to do a feature video on it necessarily but rather allow it to come up organically in videos
One Jeremy to another, I love this channel. Keep up the awesome work!
You sound like a handsome fella. 🫡
OMG I'm actually first for once. ;) FLOOF IT!!!
Floofed. Lol 😂
Great advice man!
Appreciate it!
Everybody needs to be backing out of Pro tools altogether at this point. There’s no advantage besides transferring plug-in settings.
I'd like to see a video on dealing with failure
It would probably flop…. Pun intended
Great video, would love a business oriented video too, thanks so much!
Any specific topics in mind?
@@RecordingStudioLoser yeah maybe how you keep track of bookings, payments etc.. and maybe a few things that came up that you had no idea would. Or maybe even how to find the correct space that makes sense for your studio.
You mentioned CRMs, would you mind sharing which one you're using? The one I've been using for the last decade just got rid of the plan I've been on, so I've been scrambling to try to find a new one I like!
Sure. I’ve been using notion for the last couple years and it’s free
Is that landscape fabric stapled to the framed wall, holding the insulation?
on the back drum wall? Black burlap.
Thank you Jeremy - a really excellent video. Here are a couple of questions. What do you use to charge people for services on the website? Do you will with Quickbooks or do you use something else? We are at the stage in our studio where we have it ready to start with clients but we are still trying to decide how to bill people. We just got a cube - but not sure if this is something that we will like. Any thoughts are much appreciated. Again we love your discussions! (I guess it is not a couple of questions - lol).
I invoice and track everything through PayPal. I may be losing a percent or two compared to other options but ease of use is great. And they don’t have to pay via PayPal. But it helps me keep everything in one location.
@@RecordingStudioLoser - never thought about paypal. We will certainly check it out as a solution! Thanks…
When all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail! 😁
Seriously, though, this type of info is priceless. Talking about failures and mistakes is hard, brother. Thank you for putting yourself out there.
Nailed it. … dad joke level groans in full today. lol
Here's what I would do differently: Never get married. Buy a building to open my studio. Never get married... did I say that already?
To each their own. Personally, I couldn’t do it without my wife.
@RecordingStudioLoser interesting... I couldn't do it with my wife, LOL... Good on you for making good choices.
🤦🏻♂️
Number 1 : Don't buy proprietary interface.
Number 2 : Don't start a recording studio without Dante (at least as an option)
Number 3 : Acoustic is the most important
Number 4 : Get a good chair that doesn't make noise and is heathly for your back
Number 5 : Work out
Number 6 : Most important : Communication, Marketing, Social and Money skills
I support everything except number 4.
STANDING DESK 💪💪
@@RecordingStudioLoser Indeed It's better
