Home recording

And at the time, this was 2020, 2019 actually, I had just bought my first house in Nashville and I knew I wanted to build a recording studio in my backyard.

And at that time, I had read Roger Weiss's book, Home Recording Studio, Build It Like the Pros.

And there was some window designs in there, nothing super, super helpful, especially on exterior windows.

He kind of talked more about the interior window between a live room and a control room.

And, um, he had sort of a- acquired all of this kind of, um, these microphones and audio interfaces and stuff, uh, over the years 'cause he's, like, a hobbyist sort of, like, collector guy.

So, um, and he just, like, sold them to me for, like, just an absolute bargain, and, uh, I just kind of went from there, just sort of figuring out myself as I went along.

And what impresses me, um, w- with your music, and, and same with the music with a lot of, um, young, new musicians, um, in the country these days is when they do these, these, um, home recordings and self-recordings, I just can't quite fathom h- uh, when I listen to the, the complexity of the songs and all that's going in there.

Is, is that something that's, um, in your head when you begin, or is it th- this kinda whittling process you're talking about where you just record something, and you just build and build and build, and something, um, happens, or you end up with this product that was quite, or this idea that was quite different from when you started? And it's, it's, it's all, it's all in the process.

You don't really know where you're gonna go.

It still felt like kind of home, but it was built in a commercial building and it was meant for commercial use.

So I feel like that's where the music industry is, right? It's either home recording.

And if you're doing a commercial style studio, I still see it kind of in that home recording studio world.

With the Atmos, we're seeing it a lot more than I thought I would.

What I'm finding is a lot of clients want it, but they don't really know.

And I always knew I wanted to build a studio in the backyard.

So like when I bought the house, I was like, this is the spot.

And I read the, the Roger Weiss book and, Home Recording Studio, Build It Like the Pros.
