how does this compare to an actual studio?

Its as close to a real studio you will get , i love it i use it to record at home

It does a good job of lessening room noise and giving a more even tone to recordings. But it does not replicate an actual vocal booth's acoustics.

it does an OK job reducing ambient noise in a room, and making the recorded voice sound more focused. It is a far cry from an actual studio. (which also normally comes with a professional audio engineer)

If you are recording vocals in an untreated recording environment this does a good job of knocking down the reflections. If you have a room that is already treated to minimize reflections and is tuned it's not necessary. If you get one don't place the mic way back in the shield as that will cause the mic to pick up the reflections from the dense foam treatment in the shield....and will add a "muffled" sound to what you are recording. I like this product for what it is but it will not make your bedroom sound like the vocal booth in a great recording studio.

This is no replacement for a real studio, but it does a good job in a room with limited sound proofing. A must have for any home studio! Don't forget a sturdy tripod stand for it.

The CAD Audio AS32 is intended to help reduce sound reflections that may occur when an actual studio is not available. Experimentation can give you good results on combating the reflections from walls and equipment.

It doesn't, and it's not supposed to. If you are at home, or in a situation where room noise is an issue, this serves to help dampen some of that noise. It's not a 100% full proof solution, but it's definitely a help. However, nothing will ever compete with an acoustically treated room.

The shield works as any other...don't pay for a more expensive one, they are virtually all the same. I just thought it looked the most solid and it is!

I would say more like studio. It is firm and very good quality. It was bought for my daughter to practice back handsprings and other tumbling and is perfect for that.

I think yes, The background for this studio is smaller, but I think can hold a larger one :)

Thanks for the reply. I'm not looking for studio quality, but just good enough to re-enjoy concerts. I've been using a Sony MD recorder, which is remarkable as long as I keep the volume under control. I'd also use it for acoustic group demo/critical listening, so it'll probably do OK for that. If all else fails in the concert area, I can keep using the minidiscs.Thanks again,Jim

It is very quiet. I live in a one room studio and it does not bother me in the least.

Yes. It's not super soft, it's very firm which is good because overtime it will be nice and cushy. It's also nice and wide. It's comfy to sleep on too, add a thick comforter on top of it, to sleep. Oh yeah, and it's perfect for a studio too. Just saying!

We have a pair for a room approximately 2k sf and at mid level it creates a nice ambient background sound. Not gonna sound like a club but I'd recommend for a nice get together

Hi J-young, The StudioFX is a 2400 watt light set and the soft boxes don't collapse. The PBL is a 450 watt very portable set up. If you need a lot of light I'd say the StudioFX is a pretty good deal. Looks like the StudioFX has 5 bulbs in two of the boxes where as the PBL only has one. Big difference. The best thing about the PBL is they fold up like an umbrella and pack in a small travel bag. I use the PBL lights for video fill only and not for still shots. I pack them easily and take the with when shooting. If you are looking to use the lights for portrait or studio work I'd get the StudioFX with 4500 watts as the PBL wouldn't be bright enough. Looks like the price is pretty good on the StudioFX too. Good luck on your decision

Not totally sure but I think this is more like the original 4-track machines where you get what you record and that's that. If you were so inclined you could always export the takes individually and comp them in a DAW later to add better effects. The most apparent one on here would be the reverb (which isn't too bad).

It all depends on where you live. Frankly it's lovely for garden items but I doubt I'd use it for a studio. Just me mind you. I bought my husband a small heater for it and it works fine for that space.

Not sure- but this is a really crappy studio set. Flimsy and super cheap looking/feeling.

I have used both. I personally find Music Studio to be better. I ended up uninstalling Mixcraft all together. Music Studio is logically laid out and easy to use. If you know anything about DAWs that is... I also use Reaper from time to time but I always end up coming back to Samplitude Music Studio. I still run the old version 12 deluxe on my studio PC and those projects export flawlessly to the 2014 version. Great piece of software for the price... watch for sales and you can get it even cheaper for better value!

Yes... it doesn't use to much space but the program it self isnt as stable as you would think in the first place... i have 3tb with 32gb of ram and it would crash every now and then... but just save every now and then because its so worth it... once you get your mind around it the work flow is so smooth other than the actual song building process witch is way more than you expect but since the pattern building is so quick and seemless you can get the music out of your head before you loose your motivation. ..

200k is minimal for what you are getting from the light elsewhere, but as a photographic retoucher for hundreds of photographers, 200k is big and noticeable. Not big enough to make any large jump away from AB's; they are quite awesome for their price, and there are so many accessories for AB's that give a great edge over generics you find at cowboy studio or something like that. The build is nice, and any little issue of 200k(+-) is easy to work with just with custom WB or post.

They help! Also depends on how big the studio is. Haven't done live with them yet! Hope this helps.

I use it for my home studio, so it's in a fairly protected environment. I like it and it provides a lot of flexibility for EQ and time delay which is sometimes important for me. I had some reliability problems with it initially, but I took the chance, opened it up, reseated the socketed PROM. Since then (a year), everything has been working fine.

They are pretty good for a little studio. I use 3 for portraits and they haven't failed me yet.
