How to improve your home studio... on a budget

Are you always on the lookout for ways to improve your studio, but not so frequently in possession of the cash in order to do so?

Then here are a few suggestions for tweaks you can make to your music making menagerie with little or no money...


TVs are for more than Hollyoaks...

Has your favourite show just finished, or you've found yourself on YouTube more than ITV?   Use your old TV for massive second monitor!   Most TVs purchased in the last 5 years will probably have a monitor input, so give it a try and you'll have extra space for your DAW to stretch its legs!

They can also be great for putting lyrics on for vocalists to sing along to, or for watching YouTube videos when you're supposed to be finishing a song.


Windows ninety-what?!

Remember that old PC that just couldn't handle your entire soft-studio?   Well use your Old PC for VSTs!   Using programs like "FX Teleport", you can easily network up your old computer and start using it to make your software run faster!

Just assign those CPU-intensive VSTs to the old computer and watch as your host machine speeds away and your creative workflow follows suit.   Just imagine getting high quality multisamples like Synth Bass Analogy without having to worry about the associated computing cost!


It's not very roomy...

Constructing a makeshift Vocal Booth from duvets, old mic stands and willpower can result in much less roomy recordings from your microphone!   That once echoey overtone will be no more and you can rely on your plug ins to define what room that recording is in!


Take care of yourself...

...and you'll take care of making awesome music!   eBay a comfy office Chair (Or "borrow" one from your day job) and not only will your back thank you, but so will your ego.   Making sure you're comfortable is one of the most underrated parts of studio design!


I'm sure if you put your mind to it, you can look around and convert old, unused bits and bobs into studio gold; just be creative and unafraid of sellotape!
