My total budget for this semester is a tentative $1000 - I'd rather not spend all of it, but I'm trying to be realistic about the pricing. Upon working in the studio for a little bit, my initial list of items to budget for come under the following: 1. A Preamp / Interface that can be extended to multiple inputs e.g. a Focusrite 4 channel preamp. Price approx. $500 - $600 2. Repairing the keys on the electric Yamaha piano. Price approx. $150 3. Extending the drum riser and adding extra storage space to it. Price approx. $50 - 70 4. Repairing the active amp for the mixing speakers. Price approx. $50 - $60 5. Buying a new cymbal stand. Price approx. $20 - $40 6. Using expanding foam and egg cartons to make extra sound proofing. Price approx. $30 - $40 Everything bolded above are my personal spending priorities for this semester as it will drastically effect my own workflow and will help to ease my mind (much of it is to do with repairs). To help reduce the cost of these renovations, my idea is to make the storage for the drum riser myself and to make my own sound proofing. You can see my initial rough design ideas for the drum riser below. It will store the majority of the microphone stands, as well as any other cymbal stands etc. that I need it to. I've already messaged the professional electric piano repairman for dropping off my Yamaha keyboard tomorrow morning. Everything is in the back of my car and ready to go and hopefully, I'll get it back before next week so I'll be ready to record.
