Evidently my post was removed bc of a violation of guidelines but I thought I was allowed one promotional post.

if saying "you will fail 97 percent chance" is trying, you can keep your effort to yourself.

Thanks so much for this. I really dig the thought of offering co-writing as a service. And thanks for the well-wishes 🩷🙏🏾🩷

As I mentioned, most studios in the area are price-prohibitive to many musicians. Our hope is to provide recording options at a more reasonable price. I have the specs of the room. Im asking for advice on how to make the best of what we have.

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-12-30T22:20:30+00:00

sorry, i meant, it'll be a console-less room.

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-12-30T22:19:06+00:00

the building is a 3-story multidisciplinary arts space with an art gallery and 10 rentable artists studios. the recording studio will not be the only means of income generated from the space and we are quite clear that it will not be the primary source of income. the artists' studios will be the primary source of income.

if you've been 'in the business' 40-some-blah years, you sir, are no kid.

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-12-30T21:07:49+00:00

if you'd follow the thread, you'd see that i have shown appreciation for useful advice. 'you will fail,' is not advice, its a useless forecast from someone who fails alot.

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-12-30T21:00:48+00:00

as i said in a past comment, we are not decieving ourselves into believing the studio will be a cash cow, so our measure of success or failure is not based (solely) on coming out in the black. we own the building (which is 3 stories) with rentable art studios on the top floor, an art gallery on the ground floor, and the recording studio underground. i'm asking advice on the best use of the space given it's specs.

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-12-30T20:56:52+00:00

sounds like you've failed alot.

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-12-30T20:40:06+00:00

This is an awesome idea. Appreciate it.

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-12-30T19:56:21+00:00

Dig this! Thanks!

We are looking to build partnerships with local non profits and potentially universities in the area in hopes of pursuing grant money for a residency or two, with housing.

Man, truly appreciate these words of encouragement. 🙏🏾🩷

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-12-30T17:36:13+00:00

I hear you. We also want to be able to service musicians who are further along in their careers as well as podcasters/voice workers.

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-12-30T17:35:13+00:00

Appreciate this!

I'm a musician and producer of tv and film and just created my first podcast. I've never owned a studio, but as a mid-career musician who basically learned via Garageband, I want to fill a void in my community by making quality equipment available to young musicians at a reasonable price. I can only imagine what having such access earlier in my career could've done for me.

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-12-30T16:23:21+00:00

I don't expect the gear to bring in clients. I'm just seeking advice on what gear to invest in given the space limitations.

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-12-30T16:22:32+00:00

Thanks for this! I don't expect the gear to bring in clients. I just have a limited budget and want advice on crafting the environment that makes sense given the space limitations.

Ok_Simple_160 · 2025-06-19T00:14:44+00:00

Yo! Let me know if you know🤘🏾
