What is your dream Podcasting Studio?

[Jadori]

My dream setup would be similar to GSPN.tv studio expect my mics would be RF-20's with rhinestone cases of course lol. I would also pimp out my studio in good Jersey style! Tons of animal prints lol. I would like to have it set up as a traditional radio station or DJ booth with my VMS 4.

As I am in the process of building my home studio it is constantly evolving. my next phase is to build real walls then I upgrade my video to a hardware switcher. After that I will upgrade my audio. However if I was to be able to build it tomorrow I would put in 5 HD consumer grade camcorders, a hardware switcher like the tricaster, presonus digital audio and RE-20 or PR-40 mics.

My dream studio is probably somewhere in between what Andrew has and what TWiT has. Of course, the TWiT studio was over a million dollars, so that's not attainable.

In my secondary building that I'm in, one half is my wife's sewing studio and a small section of that half is my studio (as shown in my studio tour video). The other half of the building is basically a storage area for yard tools, lawn mower, etc. My goal is to remodel that entire side as a studio. That would give me something like a 12x20 (estimated) space which would allow me to have more than one set for different shows. Of course, upgrading some of the equipment would be in order as well - like HD cameras (not web cams), a digital audio mixer and a hardware video switcher (possibly - though there is a lot of power in some of the software we're all using).

Hey, if you're going to dream, dream big!

Anything is possiable Donovan. I know that I am going to be famous someday. I believe in my work and making a difference it just takes hard work to make your dreams happen. You can do it!

My Dream studio would have a Tricaster 8000 and a Axia IP Audio sound system.

My dream studio would be to have a room to myself where I don't have to assemble/disassemble my setup every time I want to record a podcast. Also would like to be able to use said room whenever I want without having to worry about waking people up for being too loud.

Hopefully with my move back the the USA in a couple months I will be one step closer...

There are a few things missing from my studio that im hoping to add by the end of the year. We still need to upgrade 3 of our cameras to Canons , Add a door and possible add more colored lighting. Cooling this place down is also a major issue. I dont think there is a day that its under 90 degrees in here during the summer.

With the new hardware you bought you should be able to run the A/C without the noise coming through on the recording, right?

Oh boy, what a great question... I could ramble about this so much it'd crash this forum's server. I'll keep it simple.

A room with awesome movie posters and cool stuff we like all around us. It'd be acoustically treated of course with sound panels.

We'd have five Rode Procasters, or similar dynamic mics mounted on scissor arms and running to a Presonus StudioLive 16.4.2. That would feed into a desktop PC which would probably have a Blackmagic Designs ATEM Studio Switcher added to it. Feeding that would be an HD camera locked down on a wide shot since we're an animated bunch. That PC would take care of all streaming.

I'd have a laptop on the other side that would feed the ATEM video of its screen (chat room, pics, videos or whatever we're talking about at that moment). There might also be a couple of bargain laptops off to one side that would feed in Skype guests (we rarely have them though).

And of course, there'd be a mini-fridge stocked with our hosts favorite beers and sodas.
