What is the difference between studios and pros

Definitely not an ideal workflow situation, but it's an adventure. My favorite "home-studio" that I have seen virtually is Peter Gabriel's. I think there's a YouTuve vid of it in the video vault. It's as "pro" as any pro studio, but maybe a bit less formal? The quality of the end result.

I've been in home studios that have much nicer gear than some of the pro studios I've been in. The other difference is that the pro studio usually has a MASSIVE collection of junky old instruments and amps lying around somewhere, and a lot more old legacy equipment that has collected over the years.

That describes a "pro recording studio" to me. A "pro studio" is one that is used to generate a full time living off of in my opinion, and by definition of the words. That can range from a laptop and a bunch of sample drives to the sort of setup described above.

I agree, Josh. The only difference is us people that do have a studio like this in our "home", have a little more of an obsession then others. My Studio. Most pro studios come with a pro. A pro studio can be a home studio. Putting that aside The biggest difference to me in general is the sound of the rooms assuming the same personnel is involved.

Just because someone charges someone else doesn't mean they know what they are doing, nor does it mean they have the right to be called an audio engineer. Being a true audio engineer is something that people hold very sacred. It takes years of training and a deep understanding of how audio and the way human hearing reacts to sound really works. This in no way makes them an audio engineer. It makes them a person who own some cheap gear which can produce some sounds.

That being said, the OP asked what the differences between a "professional studio" and a "home studio" would be and that is exactly what I listed. And pretty much everything available to cater for every client. Home studio is at home. Pro or not. Tomas Miller. Pro comes from profession or professional does it not? I do not consider it a professional studio in any way, why? Because although I am a professional audio engineer it is not through my studio I make my living.

I have worked as a professional Recording Engineer in other peoples studios both as a freelancer as well as a full time engineer at different times but it is not from my own studio set up that I make my money.

So to me the difference between a "pro studio" vs a "home studio" lays completely in how the money relates to the operation of the facility. This is a BETA experience. You may opt-out by clicking here. More From Forbes.
