DIY Studio

I want to build my own studio at home. What will I need?

—Sherry S, Via Instagram

The three main things you need to build an audio video studio at home is a camera, lighting and sound, which you can pick as per your budget. But here are some tips to make your space better. 1. Use some acoustic panels to reduce the echo. They are cheap, easily available and effective. 2. Use wooden furniture, carpets and rugs in the room, so that the audio is taken care of. 3. Use ambient lighting: it adds flavour and dimension in the video. Smart RGB is real. 4. Finally, focus on the sound. Even if the camera and mic are inexpensive, the output will be good.
