lolgregory Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Did any of you write a wish list for your studio before you built it? What kinds of things were on that list? Meaning things like phone jacks in every room, a cable TV outlet, DSL, microwave etc. etc.. Before I build the thing I wanna make sure I have all my bases covered for things like this.

Orion Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Can never go wrong with the half naked women fanning you and feeding you grapes while you record. But Hey, that is just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwdservices Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hmm, I could really go on and on here ;) Basically just make sure you have a computer with a very good sound card (running automation), a mixer, a mic, and a cd player and you should be good to go. We don't use our CD player on a regular basis but it has saved our butt a few times when the automation had issues and died. An on air sign isn't necessary unless there are other people in the building where your studio is that might walk in while you are on the air. A cheap $10 light from Home Depot with a remote control will also do the trick if you don't want to put in something too hard to deal with or too expensive.

carlwelden Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 TWO CHEAP GADGETS: I could definitely see utilizing a "phone flasher" which (for those of you who don't know) emits a flashing strobe light either in lieu of or along with your telephone's ring. On eBay, they're $0.99-$25 bucks (U.S.) They are designed for the hearing impaired and when I have headphones on, that includes me! When I'm recording voice overs, I cant think of anything more unpredictable than an un-muted telephone, but for live broadcast, you might want to take that call as part of your program. Another useful device priced under $20 is known as a "telephone handset recording control" which patches in between a corded handset and receiver and feeds audio in or out through a 1/8" plug. It's designed for recording phone calls, but I plan on using one to update a telephone helpline menu that I provide the VO for. PS- Orion, I'm with you in spirit, but keep in mind that this is a co-ed forum :doh:lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
