![]() ![]() Regardless, you get 80% of the functionality for 20% of the price (actually it’s probably more like 90/10). ![]() But what if you had a, say, 2009 studio drop in your lap for the entry price of 1/10th what it cost new? Now you’d have Auto-Tune, but maybe not 32bit floating point calculations and unlimited track count like a standard system today does. Right? Obviously that’s not going to happen. But that’s a small price to pay for someone dropping this studio in your lap, free of charge. SO, if you had a perfectly preserved studio from the 1970’s, you would be able to produce some amazing recordings, right? Granted, you would be missing Auto-Tune from your arsenal. ![]() But also that recording technology manufacturers were designing for best quality, not for best consumer market viability… because that market didn’t really exist yet. Meaning that recording was serious business and few had studio time to produce trash. Why? Well, I’m not much of a historian, but I will claim that that era was the perfect intersection of recording quality and high cost of entry. I would claim that music recording quality peaked in the 70’s. But do read on and try to see the merit in what I’m about to present. I am going to put forth an anti- neomaniac attitude, and if you don’t jive with that I totally understand and I still love you. If you covet the new touch bar on Apple’s latest abomination Macbook Pro, this post is definitely not for you. That being said, if you foolishly faithfully bought the iPhone X within 2 years of its release, this post is probably not for you. …and some, but not nearly as much, money. Suddenly your cart is $8000+ and you thought you would save money by doing it yourself? Well, my friends… There is a way to build your own versatile home recording studio with Pro Tools for very little money, and all it takes is some perspective… But you also look at how little-more it costs to get that significantly better interface or microphone (while trying to save money on cables – a bad idea). When you go to spec out a home studio through your favorite online retailer, you start to notice that the price of software and hardware stacks up. It’s an amazing resource to have at your beckoning! So few musicians who want to record their music are going to have the resource to constantly record in a professional studio. Everyone* wants to have their own home studio. ![]()
