It's my first post on the forum so - Hello!


I'm starting this thread to show my journey with learning how to record and mix drums in my home studio (and some bit of music productions too), so any advice and tips are more than welcome!

Here is my latest recording:
Some grooves inspired by my almost half-year stay in Central African Republic.

I thought that this might interest those with home studios like myself. I recorded my fourth solo instrumental album over the past few years and decided to film as many of the sessions as I could. It enabled me to put together a “making of” video using a lot of the footage that I captured during the recordings.

Building a home studio, but this is what i'm working with, looks like there's no two-ways about it in terms of budget, location etc.:



-Building it in a shipping container. Yup, that's right. About 20'x6.5', height around 6.5'-8'

-Budget for sound-proofing and acoustic treatment: around $7,000 maybe could go a little more.

-DIY

I don't anticipate I will be able to soundproof it much, but more concerned with getting the room ready for mixing.



What would you recommend I do for the acoustical aspects to making the room acceptable for mixing?



The room size is 11'4" x 11'.8" x 9' ceiling. (Not ideal, I know.)



Home Studio - Financial Questions

I'm thinking about turning my basement into a recording studio. My friend is an audio engineer, and I'm a musician. He can supply the recording gear and do the recording, and I can supply the instruments and act as a session musician. My thoughts so far in terms of how money would be split are as follows:



- He pays me monthly rent for the space

I've recently moved to Mongolia and most of my gear is in Canada. I'd like to be able to do a bit of hobby recording but don't want anything too big or expensive and am wondering if there is anything on the market that has both audio interface and headphone amplifier capability in one unit. It doesn't need to be great quality as I've got good stuff in Canada I can bring next time I visit.
