What are some of the studio essentials you would recommend ?
First things first , a well acoustically treated room . Although in this modern age , with plugins & companies introducing room response corrections , it has been really handy for people to mix or produce on headphones with proper
Calibrations . But , if you wish to record or even want to have good speakers too , a basic or decent room treatment is very essential . Secondly , we would recommend learning your existing gears first , before going for new ones . After all , it ' s not that you need to own fancy analogue hardwares to achieve a great mix ! What really matters is the room , and how much you have spent time & tuned yourself over there . Lastly , we would also like to say that good aura & positive vibes in the workspace is a must . It ' s a creative space , at the end of the day .
