Building the studio

Tomorrow I'm going to pay my first month's rent for the studio. It is a total shit hole that only recently got electricity, which was a big step forward. Before it even begins to be functional I will have to take a shop vaccuum to the entire space and put blankest on the windows to keep the cold air out. It has been consistantly about 20 degrees F out side and it's not much different inside the space.

Other than that it's a perfectly wonderful place. It really shines in the summer. 800 square feet of wide open space in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors. Perfect. I've been telling all my friends about it and they all want to use it once it's running.

The catch about this particular studio is that it will be a hybrid analog and digital studio. While this isn't a very novel idea, using only Free Software for the production is a novel idea. The primary hard disk recorder will be Ardour and the MIDI sequencer will be Rosegarden.
