We live in an age of golden opportunity. The age in which all it takes for a musician to earn international fame and recognition, is one song. But with such unparalleled opportunity, comes overwhelming competition and odds. So, what does this have to do with good acoustical solutions and boosting your business you ask?
Most musicians who are invested in their art take to social media every day to increase their fan base and open opportunities. And they have realized that when it comes to their music, they cannot compromise on production quality in order to have an edge. And in turn, most musicians either rely on their own ability to create quality productions, or invest in smaller studios for all their production needs.
So how can an investment in quality acoustical solutions benefit both the small studio and the musicians employing them?
It is an accepted norm that small home studios cannot compete with the high capital investment that bigger studios employ. These bigger studios (in most cases in India) know that in order to land high paying projects like movies and such, they require greater real estate and expensive gear that is way beyond our means. So if you are part of the remaining 90+%, you rely on more modest commercial projects, voice-overs and smaller projects like indie album recordings and singles to keep the wheels of your studio turning.
But as today’s social media requires posting relevant high-quality content consistently, smaller projects like singles and albums are turning out to be potentially the life-blood of the small studio. And this is where an investment in good acoustical solutions can be of huge benefit either to the musician producing himself/herself, or the studio that they engage to do so.
A studio that employs good acoustical solutions has the following benefits over others, regardless the investment of gear they use:
Pro Studio quality in your home studio!
Any source that is recorded live in a studio space, whether a voice, a guitar, a flute, drums, anything, will sound much richer, cleaner and more authentic when recorded in a booth created by acoustic panels or in a room treated with acoustic panels. Especially when using affordable gear, your studio needs every advantage to ensure the output is at the highest standard possible to attract and retain clients.
Better recordings in lesser time!
The time taken to record these sources and get an acceptable high-quality take, would be much lesser when recorded in a room that is acoustically treated. And this doubly beneficial, because it is well known in studio recording circles that the richest, most dynamic takes captured are the early ones, most usually within the first three (as the performer is fresh and creatively most energized). Hence, acoustic solutions help not only save precious studio time, but also deliver high quality recordings in the process. This translates to your studio being more affordable and delivering higher quality results faster, both of which are attributes that are of indispensable benefit to your customer.
“I realised an instant change in the song quality, with the same pair of monitors in the same room, once the panels were installed. The songs now sound much wider and clearer, making the process of listening to music a much more inspiring and deeper experience. For a home studio producer, experimental artist like me, I believe it couldn’t be any better.”
Siennor, Multi-insturmentalist, singer-songwriter, producer, equipped with an E Flat Home Studio Acoustic Panel Package
Faster mix-masters, happier clients, and more time to take on more projects!
A mix-mastering room that is acoustically treated can make mix decisions faster, that translate more authentically, and require less edits from the client (because when mix translation is authentic, what your client hears is the mix -master you meant to be heard, regardless of whether it was played back in a living room, a car, on headphones or in your studio). This means more time saved, more projects that you can take on, and potentially more competitive pricing that your clients could benefit from! And more importantly, you can rest your worries regarding your clients requiring multiple reedits and rushed work, and they will definitely take notice of how efficient working with you is!
“This equipment has helped me get a clear picture as to what my monitors actually sound like. I am able to make confident decisions with regards to EQ, compression, effects and panning”.
Aaron Desmond – Session guitarist and producer, equipped with the E Flat Hybrid Vocal Booth-Control Room Home Studio Package.
