Does anyone have advice on how to set up a music jam room that can double as a studio? I am especially concerned about what would be the best speaker setup.
I'm thinking of having two electric guitars, an acoustic guitar, a bass guitar, a digital piano and an electronic drum set in the room. More instruments might be added later.
I am interested in the idea of running everything through a powered mixer and then having the sound go out to wall-mounted speakers along with a subwoofer. Any advice about this?
I should probably explain here that I'm over 40 and as much into jazz, blues and folk as I am into rock, so we're not talking about wanting to blow the windows out. This is why I'm interested in getting an electronic drum set -- it may not sound quite as good, but volume control is essential. As a result, I'm not seeking any soundproofing advice, because I don't plan on doing any soundproofing.
As far as the studio aspect, I'd like to use software that's basic and functional and easy to learn, since I won't have a ton of time to learn the more technical aspects. Any recommendations?
Thanks for any thoughts you have...
