about studio rentals (size)?

[npc_skate]

i have an approximately 6x4 meters (18x14ft.) room here.with a height of 7ft.
and im planning to make a small business of a rehearsal studio.

my problem is...if it's possible to make two studio rehearsal rooms by the size of 3x2meters(with partition included 6' cement) or should i stick on just a single room?tingin ko kc maxado na malaki ung room eh
 
i really want to make atleast two rehearsal rooms here, but how could it affect my customers if its a liitle bit crowded? or ok lang ba sakanila un? and besides, im just offering a 100/hr. rate if possible para pang masa. customers could be hiskul students and wanna be rockstars lang.

based on your experience (sa mga nakapag tayo na ng studio rehersals like this)
nid suggestions pls.

im new here btw..and ive also red other threads, but andami paring tanong sa isip ko.hehe
thanks po sa lahat ng help

Factor in the sandwiched rockwool and the acoustic treatment, plus the gear, you'd end up with 2 rooms with 2.8m x 1.8m roughly.  Not very nice if you want Radioactive Sago in your studio.

hi there. i'm not sure if you've read this thread but there's a post here by mikep that can probably answer your question.

i remember nung high school days ko, talo-talo pagdating sa rehearsal studio, bihira kami mamili. kung alin ang available at affordable dun kame. pero after some time, medyo naghahanap kami ng space na maganda na gamit, comfortable pa, kahit mapalayo kami, dinadayo namin yung studio. so from a customer's point of view, kung naguumpisa pa lang kahit anong size naman, ayos lang although eventually maghahanap ng mas malaki/comfortable. pwede naman talaga ipilit ang dalawang studio eh, madaming ganyan (may mas maliit pa, try those lazer in-store rehearsal studios). depends parin talaga syo, since ikaw ang owner. and isipin mo din yung acoustic treatments since baka magkasabay ang isang hardcore band tsaka isang acoustic guitar driven band, baka magka problema ka.

[mikep]

Unless you will have a rehearsal studio that caters only to two people in a band, a guitarist and a vocalist  3 X 2 is just enough to house a drum set.  Remember, the bigger the space, the more people will be more comfortable, the more business.

Good luck in your new venture.

[skunkyfunk]

Yup.  A rehearsal space is supposed to be wide.  It's no MIDI studio, I mean.  There are some things you have to take into consideration when you're rehearsing, such as, not wanting to hit your bandmate's face with your headstock while doing a guitar solo.

[npc_skate]

so..one whole room nalang?.hmmm..

@jefisipbata
yeah, ganyan na ganyan tlga ang nsa isip ko.. alam mo naman urban-poor lang tau..hekhek''

tnx!..isip isp pa ako. hirap kc magsisi sa huli pag nagawa na

[alien_inside]

magsisisi ka pag masyadong maliit... MAKE IT BIG... Mine is 9ft x 16ft. 9x8 Control Area ; 9:8 Iso Booth

Sa control area ( photo below ), kasama ko mga players except the drummer na sana booth. Booth door is open during rehearsals.



Sometimes, lahat ng mga insrumentalist nasa loob... yung singer nasa likuran ko lang.

Pag sa tingin ko naman, masyadong crowded, sa garage na lang... libre exposure pa...

Ok, here is my opinion based on what you have posted.

If your target market is "customers could be hiskul students and wanna be rockstars lang" (in your own words), then small room is ok. Those kids dont mind cramping into the small space of a studio just to rock. This way also, it avoids those unecessary saling pusa or those who makes the studio rehersal a gig by inviting all their friends to watch them rock.

Did you do a market study on this. Something like having actual figures/facts on the demand for a rehersal studio on your place. Normally in a business they would start small, having one studio room muna, then later if the demand is big, expand into something bigger.  You might have a second studio room that is always vacant.

If your target market is for showbands, pro bands, or those of the likes, then a bigger room is the thing.

If you want to set up something for recording, that is totally a different story. Here you are setting up an isolation booth and a control room... totally different from a rehersal studio.

If I were in your shoes, I would go for one studio muna. however big it is. Try to feel the water if there is a continuous demand for a second studio is there then you can set up the second studio later on. However take in mind that in a business there is always a first time surge. Baka sa una lang madaming cliente but later on kumonte.

Im just trying not to be too technical here but rather be practical. With a small seed and pot of soil you can harvest plentyful in time develop a plantation .  But with a pack of seed and a pot of soil you will need to feed too many and spend too much for what you wanted to earn. I hope you get my drift here. Minsan din kasi nakakalimutan natin ang purpose natin na negosyo to. Mas malakas ang urge na magset up ng magandang studio lalu na kung passion din natin yan. Im guilty also with that.

Hope this helps.

thanks a lot for this!. yep, i assessed the demand  of studios here.one studio will surely not be enough.
the nearest studio lacated here in our place is two rides away from here, and theres a bunch of schools and small subdivisions here, at mga katropa kong naghahanap palage ng malapit mapapagtugtugan.
 i could make two rooms, but i will first operate in a single room muna (becase one studio plang kaya ng budget), then the other room would be temporarily for my fathers piano lesson nalang muna. then unti unti setup nadin cya ng studio. so that could be it.
thanks sa lhat ng inputs po!
