PENNSAUKEN, NJ April 20, 2012 Disc Makers announces the release of its latest Home Studio Series guide, focusing on the monetary challenges faced by musicians looking to create a quality home recording space without spending thousands of dollars on construction efforts.

Creating a Home Project Studio: How to get optimal results from your space and budget is the second in Disc Makers’ Home Studio Series of free download guides, set to include seven titles spanning topics like building a professional home studio, outfitting a studio for under $ 1,000, choosing the right microphones, and making great mixes at home.

Creating a Home Project Studio zeroes in on basic acoustic principles, and provides advice on how to manage acoustics in a room, techniques for room arrangement, and a primer complete with a glossary of terms on acoustics. Veteran studio engineer and author Keith Hatschek (The Golden Moment: Recording Secrets of the Pros) co-wrote the guide with Disc Makers’ managing editor, Andre Calilhanna.

The new guide takes a more practical approach for the home recording enthusiast. We give advice on how to maximize the acoustics in your space and apply basic acoustic principles the same ones a professional studio would in creating an optimal environment to track and mix a recording.”

Disc Makers, the nations leading independent disc manufacturer, maintains Echoes, a DIY music blog, and has published over a dozen guides aimed at helping musicians sustain their own careers. This series of guides is their first to tackle the topic of home recording.
