That said, sometimes you just need a passable setup and it is very possible to get audio that is useable for most purposes, with relatively cheap gear, in a less than perfect space. Now it goes without saying, the best audio comes from proven and expensive equipment in a well controlled environment. In short, I've made a lot of mistakes and learned from them. Because of that I've recorded in more hotels, friends closets, and even cars than I can count. I've also been fortunate to have quite a few clients in various retail categories, who demand very consistent availability, so I've always traveled with my recording gear and haven't taken a trip yet where it wasn't used. I've learned all spaces have challenges, just different ones. In the past 10 years, I've moved multiple times, setting up studios in a wide variety of environments, from suburban basements to big city high rises. I've spent more time reading on forums, testing mics and preamps and generally just being a geek than anyone really should. I've been able to do this because I'm flat out obsessed with VO gear. So, I've made studios work with a wide range of equipment. Since becoming established in the industry, I have continually upgraded to the choice gear I have now that I'd always drooled over when I was starting out.


When I started I had the most meager of budgets for equipment.

I have been a full time voice over talent for more than 10 years. I often get calls for studio setup advice and realized there are likely lots agencies out there who wish they had a decent setup in house but don't know where to start.įirst a quick bit about why you should take my advice. I got a call from a regular client yesterday asking advice on how best to setup a simple studio to record scratch tracks.
