Aspiring musicians know it is essential to get their work professionally recorded.
New talent like this needs cost effective accessible recording facilities, which creates a great opportunity for musical entrepreneurs. But starting up a studio can be expensive if you go for the bricks and mortar approach.
Used shipping containers are an alternative, much cheaper option to establish your own music studio.
The benefits of choosing a shipping container
In the past, shipping containers which had come to the end of their operational life-span were often seen abandoned at ports around the world.
These sad sights are now being transformed by innovative designers into a range of useful and attractive buildings. Businesses can benefit from additional storage facilities, homeowners can create extra rooms in or outside their homes, and communities can establish shared facilities such as playgrounds and swimming pools.
The case to repurpose these containers is compelling – customers save money on constructing new buildings, and the containers avoid the scrap process (which is not environmentally friendly).
Containers can be made to order but are also available ‘off-the-peg.’ Professional companies like Port Container Services provide converted containers in a variety of ready-to-use formats such as training rooms, accommodation units and site offices.
Given all these benefits it’s clear that shipping containers offer a smart solution to the challenge of creating a flexible, inexpensive music studio.
Making music in your shipping container studio
An average sized container provides ample space for creating your own music studio. You’ll have enough room to house the recording equipment and store any instruments you need.
Heat and lighting facilities can be installed to meet your particular requirements, as well as sufficient power-points to support all the equipment you need.
Doors to meet your security specification can also be added, so you have peace of mind that your equipment is safe.
The walls of the container can be lined to provide soundproofing – great for neighbors if you plan to keep the studio in the back garden. You can also customize the outside of your studio with whatever color or artwork takes your fancy. Make your container blend in with its surroundings or stand out from the crowd – the choice is yours!
The expert team at Port Container Services can talk you through all the options available to get the most from your shipping container music studio.
Upsizing
One of the best things about using a shipping container to create your own music studio is that it offers great potential for expansion.
As your business grows and you need more room, just look up. Stack another container on top of the existing unit and instantly double your recording space. For advice on how to do this consult the professional team at Port Container Services, who have a wealth of experience in this area.
The flexibility of the containers is one of the big selling points – why not add on more containers and branch out into video production?
For large events like music festivals, use multiple containers to create a combination of recording studios, performance areas and even theatre space. The containers can be moved from one location to another so are ideal for meeting the needs of major events.
However far you take your musical journey, whether the scale is large or more compact and bijou, choosing a shipping container for your music studio will ensure you have an exciting, inspirational creative space at a very affordable price.
