I'll assume that this is for a small in home type studio...\n\nThe first thing you'll need is a room the is setup for it...  This means a room that has good audio insulation...  This can be as simple as using a soft packing foam to cover all the walls and the ceiling, and a good soft/thick rug on the floor(you don't want echo's that are unintentional)...\n\nNext is the ability to record, Personaly I would use digital recording into a computer...  You can use a piece of equipment like this:\nhttp://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Firepod/\nto get many different mic lines into the computer, then use software (sorry, I don't have a piece of software that I know of off the top of my head, but if you call at sweetwater they can tell you a good one), it can even record each input seperatly to that you can listen and mix them after the fact(mixing means setting the volume of each channel to get the sound you want).  If you use a good software you can add effects too(such as delay's or echo's and other things)...\n\nNext would be speakers and an amp (or powered speakers, that's where the amp is built into the speakers), this way you can listen to the recording.  you want good speakers so that you can hear what it will realy sound like.  for listening to the recording and mixing, you don't want to use headphones because that wont sound how it'll sound in a sound system unless you use realy expensive headphones, and with headphones like this you can't have multiple people listening at the same time and be able to talk about it...\n\nNow, for while your recording, if you have a group (like a band) they might want to be able to hear the other people playing (such as an electric guitar), but you don't want to have any speakers turned on in the recording room while recording because that can cause feedback, or echo's.  For a situation like this they would need to wear headphones, and you can use a system that is made by Aviom for this.  They have this at sweetwater as well, and the way that works is to just plug in the instrament into the aviom directly, then it has a through put to plug into the digital recording system.  With the aviom, it takes all the imputs, digitizes them into it's own format, then you can use that to have any of the people having what ever they want in their own headset.  Look at Aviom.com to get more information about their system.\n\nI've been using live mixing and recording equipment for almost 10 years and would be happy to help out more, my email address is my user name here @ yahoo.com

Where are you, what are you stuck on?\nHave you found a location, a space?\nHave you priced equipment, like the chairs people sit in to get their hair done and mirrors and shelves for the beauty store?\nI would start with finding a suitable space and renting or buying it. \nThen fill it up with the stuff you need (might have to remodel the space first) then hire the staff and open.

Wow!  I like your idea!  So they can submit photos and stuff to you and you compile them eh? \nI think the best way to start is to create a portfolio of your work, so others can see what you do.  Perhaps family and friends would be a good place to start.  Once you have several projects completed, you can then present what you offer to other people with more confidence.  \nYou can get som much information online to help with marketing etc.  It depends on where you are from.  \nGood luck with your venture... it sounds great!!!

Very competitive, especially in the Bay Area. Do you want your own studio, or just full-time work? Either get a few big, steady clients, or hustle for smaller ones for steady work. Do some self-promotion pieces. (Make sure your website and promo pieces are FANTASTIC!) Give your potential clients a reason to pick you, instead of someone else. Also, specializing is a good idea, depending on the field. (Medical, education, entertainment, publishing, etc.) Good luck, and have fun!

Start with something you or someone you know already own. \n\nI started a business making leather goods with only $300 investment. I already had most of the tools and supplies but I needed a wider range of leather. My first time selling netted $700 profit and I still had 3/4 of my supplies left. I turned it into a $80G a year business in two years.\n\nOne important factor in creating a business is passion. You have to love what you do.\n\nFrom a cleaning service (everyone has enough supplies to do at least the first house or two..then you reinvest your money to grow), to house painting (more supplies but can be bought at dollar stores for the first house), and the list goes on.\n\nI have built and sold 7 businesses in my life and am on business 8. Don't feel that once you start, thats where your stuck forever. Feel free to learn and grow with life. Get the book "Who moved my cheese" to help you learn how to move through tech changes.\n\nTake a piece of paper and draw a page sized T on it. The right side is cons the left is pros. Write your abilities down on the pro side then pencil in the cons to having a business doing that ability. You will find one or two strengths to work on.\n\nOnce you find what you want to do, find someone who is doing it and ask some questions. You will need to know how long it took to become established. Does the business support them and or their family. Do they like what they do. If not, why.\n\n2 out of three privately owned businesses fail the first year. They tend to work best when you have another job the first year or even two so you can reinvest your money to build the business. Its hard work but worth it if it makes you happy.

good idea but you need to find out if you can find customers for them.\n\nI guess the easiest way is to plan a few things first - what designs are likely to be popular, how much you are going to charge, which areas are you going to sell (locally, nationally or world-wide), how you are going to distribute your products, what about after sales service, etc.\n\nOnce you are through with the above, take a few good photographs, create a site on Yahoo Shopping, and go for it.\n\nBest of luck.

If u r making u r own house: Change as per vastu rules.\nIf u already own such a house: Make some structural changes.\nIf u r staying in such a rented house: No problems if u dont stay there for more than 5 years.\nIf u r buying such a house: See if u can make some changes.\nThe best option is to buy or build something called a Studio in the US or West. A studio is nothing but an empty flat without any walls. So u can make wooden walls and make changes as and when you like. For example if you are attracted to Vastu now, so u make u r studio wooden walls like what vastu says. Then after some years if u feel like using Fengsui then change the wooden walls!!!!

Start with a multi-cut-out prototype & tape.  Once you've figured the sizes for your parts, disassemble and use a prototype 1-piece pattern with tabs & slots to hold it together.  Work it till it works  :-)

Well, it seems there are several pathways.  One that would seem to be prerequisite is learning all the wood shop stuff you can get in high school and any junior college that has such things.  Secondly, I suppose it depends on whether you have, or can set up, a wood shop at home.  If you can, then making things out of reproduction pattern books would be one way to get started.  Dover Publications has a whole lot of books with usable scale model drawings to make reproductions of old furniture.  That would be an education in itself.  There are plenty of specialty publications in how-to fields that include furniture.  I think I have seen some that included incredibly artistic objects that no doubt sold for impressive prices.\n\nThe art and craft fairs is another way, particularly if you can make some smallish things you can carry in a reasonably small trailer or truck from place to place.  You could probably make enough selling over the summer and manufacturing over the winter to support yourself rather well if you have talent.  They don't need to we wildly original, but they do need to be extremely well made and durable.  Someone who pays a fair price for hand-made furniture expects it to be handed down from generation to generation.\n\nOf course, if you live in an apartment and there's no hope of setting up your own shop anytime soon, the best way to learn would be to find an apprenticeship.  My recommendation there would be to go visit some of the more successful furniture makers in your area, and discuss the possibility of apprenticeship.  At first, you may get no more than doing chores for him for room and board, no salary.  But if you persist, and show you can learn, you will learn by doing from a master craftsman, and there's no better way to learn.

A free software that can get you started is audacity:  http://audacity.sourceforge.net/  You can google/yahoo it to find tutorials to do most things.\n\nSome of the "pro" tools you can get are:  Audition 2.0 (by Adobe), Pro Tools (for the Mac), and Sound Forge (I think by Sony).\nPro Tools is probably the most widely used at a professional level, but any of these programs easily fetch over $300 USD.  You might be able to get a cheaper "LE" (Limited Edition) version of the programs that don't have all the features of the full versions, but if you're starting out, Audacity might be good enough.

There are a lot of companies out there who can do this thing for you.  But you may spend a good amount of money.  If you want a cheaper solution, check out the local colleges.  If they have a program there where students learn about making pages, you might be able to sneak in a project like this for little or nothin.
