How much does it cost to build a home studio? 1 million dollars? Not quite, but it kinda felt that way. I've spent a year planning and acquiring brand new and second hand items to fulfill my dream of having my own home studio. And I'm happy to say that it is finished. It's been about a month since it's completion, so I think this is a good time to look back and do a tally of all the gear we have so far.

I have no formal training in drumming but that didn't stop me from admiring it from afar. Maybe it's the high barrier of entry or the impracticability of owning just the set, but that never stopped me from "trying" to understand it atleast in concept.

For the penultimate edition of our studio gear round-up, I want to talk about the PA system I bought and installed for the studio. My exposure to professional audio systems usually ends with packaged theater systems and "karaoke" focused products so building a PA system from scratch was a real eye opener. Also, things became much more complicated when I discovered that I had to make sure all of the equipment were "compatible".

Next in line for our gear showcase is the two new amplifiers I have acquired for our lead guitar and bass player. I haven't really been that into high powered gear for most of my life as a musician since I usually plug stuff directly into my computer but I still had a couple of brands in mind when I was shopping for it.

Ever since we started the band, it has always been a dream of mine to have our own studio. Sure rehearsing in a band space is ok, usually not that expensive, but having a time limit to do whatever you need kinda stiffles the creative mind. 2 years in the making and my home studio is almost finished!
