Noise kill: John Federico makes a great point about Dynamic vs. Most people I know have an office and create a studioffice. On the other hand, the big upside is setting up a bunch of stuff and then never having to take it down. It’s also just like the gym, when you go you will get the job done, if the equipment is in the house it will probably end up as a clothing rack. Either call Parsons Audio and spend the money or talk to some podcasters who are always experimenting with cheap stuff, which is often pretty good thanks to the current level of technology.ĭo you really want to build a studio in your house and lose a room?

These are the situations where you turn up a podcast and then when you get a text message, or your running app cuts in to tell you how many miles you are at, it blows your ears out.
