Post-Production budget...NEED HELP!!!
Good day folks, I am planning a Post/Music studio for a friend of mine who does video production/editing...he doesn't know much about audio and as such has given me the task to plan and purchase the studio equipment and plan the layout of the studio (he owns a fairly large, unused warehouse space)...i have been operating a small studio for about 4 years now with pro tools le (i have worked in bigger rooms but not often) but the budget i was given will allow me to upgrade to HD plus a whole lot more...anyway i would like to post the list i have put together and possibly get feedback from the more experienced post engineers here...keep in mind this studio will also be used for regular music recording/production/mixing as well as post audio editing, soundtrack production, ADR, and foley (maybe)...We also want to do our own DVD authoring (in a separate room which would also double as the surround playback/consumer home theater room) he already has Final Cut Pro Studio which has DVD authoring software but i'm not sure how powerful it is...)
thank you in advance and now the list (we are trying to start construction by July 2008) Mac Pro: dual 2.66 hz core2duo / 4 gb ram / 2 x 20" lcd / 250 & 2 x 500 gb hd Glyph GT 050Q 500GB HD Digidesign C|24 bundle w/ appropriate DB25 cables Sync i/o or Sync HD (what's the difference?)

Re: Post-Production budget...NEED HELP!!!
By July 2008 that mac and/or that PT hardware might be outdated (if rumours are true) plus all those plugs. Better not buy this gear 6 months before you actually need it.
better re-work the list when the time to use it comes closer. never buy Digi gear, computers or plugs long before you actually need it. 7 months is almost eternity in computer technology. You never now what "upgrade" you will have to buy a few months later before even having used it. But maybe that´s your plan anyway. frank.

Re: Post-Production budget...NEED HELP!!!
Well, seeing as your gear budget is going to pale compared to the construction budget, (which for a warehouse that will be big enough to do both music and post will run at least $750k to $1 million.), forget the C24 and get a D-command/D-Control. (the smaller of the 2. I always confuse them.
Also don't forget a large selection of Sfx libraries and a DNS2000. Get a good boom and a lav for ADR and a U87 for VO. I see alot of focus on music gear, not alot on post. I don't know what your background is, but if it isn't post, then I suggest looking for someone to help get the business up to speed. Also, unless the plans are already drawn, and construction started, don't plan on being open untill probably a year from now. BTW, music and post in the same facility rarely are successful. Pick one of the 2, and go with it. I would suggest post. You will need a decent sized mix room for Professional post, and that will eat into your live room. Vice versa for music. |
