A Profitable Home Recording Studio For $10,000 Jumping in to starting a business can be scary and investing in a home recording studio is no exception. There are many things to consider when doing so. How much will it cost? What gear will I need? What recording jobs will I take on? What will I charge? How will I network and advertise? I believe that I can open a profitable home studio for $10,000 mixed with my skills and gear that I already have. Before I get too in depth I need to discuss some assumptions about the situation. The first assumption is that I will be a home owner or at least a home renter when I pursue this business venture. If I were propose that this studio could exist in my current residence it would be an instant failure. The second assumption is that I will not need my recording business to pay my rent. I have a job currently and it is substantial enough to make a house payment or rental payment. The next item of importance is how I plan to make money with this business. But before I do that I think its necessary to discuss pricing and why my pricing will be as low as it is starting out. My goal (at least initially) is to make at least as much hourly as I do at my day job. This comes out to about $10 dollars an hour. As most people know this is nothing for recording. There are a few reasons for this. The first is that as a beginner I will most likely not be able to work as fast as someone who has been in the field for many years and records on a daily basis. It would be pointless to charge half as much as a seasoned professional when I work and make decisions three times slower. Of course this will change over time as my speed and expertise improves, but for now this is what I have to do. Another ... ... middle of paper ... ...n a band I have a lot of opportunity to meet other bands and promote my business. Also I’m considering starting another business with live sound and this will a great opportunity to meet more potential customers. I will also be aggressive with networking, going to more shows and putting myself out there more wherever I need to. Of course my website will be available and I will try to build a web presence. In conclusion I believe I have presented a pretty reasonable case for a profitable $10,000 studio. As you can see from the charts prior, according to my budget I have $620 dollars to spare. I might just spend this money on junk food. In reality I know there are many expenses that are hard to account for and this money would be ideal for just that. This plan only works if you have a strong work ethic and aggressive business tactics. I believe I have both of these.
It’s a question we all ask ourselves from time to time: "Why am I doing this? Is it really worth it?" For band directors, the question comes up a little more FREQUENTLY. The long rehearsals, hours of preparation and planning. Budget, buses and banged up tubas. Counseling and consoling. Lesson planning to tour planning." Why are you doing this?" Someone asked me once, "It’s only band".
There will be an estimated $40,000 in equipment, including industrial freezers and ice cream making machines, as well as a service counter for the customers to observe and test their flavors (Bush Refrigeration; Appliances Heaven). An additional $10,000 is set aside for coffee makers and blenders to provide the ability to make quality coffee and other warmed beverages for the customers to enjoy. This eats up approximately half of our starting sum, but it is also the most expensive portion of the process. Renting a smaller building is the most realistic way for this type of starter business to test the waters and see if it has the potential to grow. It is pointless to spend a large sum of money on a building in the beginning stages if you don’t even know how successful your business will be. $2,000 per month will be set aside to cover rental costs and should sufficiently cover the size of the building and utility bills we incur. In order to bring the building up to shape and remodel it, we are setting aside $15,000 along with an additional $8,000 for furnishings and exterior landscaping and design (Seating Experts). Labor for four employees over the course of a month working at $10 dollars per hour places labor costs at approximately $6,400. The initial purchase of materials will be another huge purchase for Hot Snowballs. The ingredients for ice cream must be bought separately and then assembled on site. The coffee beans and other materials can be ordered and then prepared as is on site. This cost is estimated at $5,000 to gather all the initial ingredients and materials. Hot Snowballs marketing campaign will launch with two billboards and a social media sponsored ad and will have an initial budget of $8,000. This leaves us with a $5,600 cushion to use wherever necessary or to cover legal fees

Thomas Edison has to be credited with starting the recording industry, because without his invention of the phonograph, there might not be music on the radio, or on tapes and CD’s today(Biagi 143). In 1887, a man by the name Emile Berliner replaced Edison’s phonograph with the gramophone and in 1947 Goldmark introduced the LP, or Long-playing record(143-4).
An audio engineer is responsible for the operation of the soundboard and other equipment in the recording of music, words, sounds, or any combination of such material. There are several types of engineering positions available in today's studios. In large studios, there are usually several engineers, each with the own duties and contributions. There are recording engineers, recording assistants, set-up engineers, maintenance engineers, and even mix-down engineers in some cases. In smaller studios the engineer is usually responsible for all of these duties. As a rule, the engineer should be able to set-up, use, and fix the equipment they work with.

Music Business Music Business Exam Number One Question 1 - What is The music publishing industry at a glance would seem to be those who print sheet music, method books, lead sheets, and all of the texts or notated music that musicians (and those aspiring to be musicians) use. Years ago, this was what most music publishers did, but as the industry has evolved, the process has become much more complex. Music is not just ink and paper, intellectual material and property to the individual who writes it. Therefore, the song does not become "a song" when it is written down. This is not an easy concept to grasp because the song itself has no physical makeup.
