Setting Up a Small Recording Studio by Transom.org
One of Transom’s most popular features ever is TOOLS Editor Jeff Towne’s primer on setting up a small recording studio, but the page hasn’t had an update in six years. So, Jeff has created a completely new version, covering computer and software selection, the requisite hardware, along with equipment recommendations in various price ranges and pretty much everything you need on this topic, all in one place. There are links to individual tests of gear, manufacturer’s sites, downloads, etc. etc. (One interesting new thing: ProTools is becoming dislodged as the go-to choice for documentary production.) This is the kind of useful, generous advice that makes us all love Jeff Towne. more click here...
