Not placed into the video game officially yet. It's still in development. I just kept reaching out to different teams online.
I put a few sample tracks up and they liked it so they made me part of the team. Nothing major at the moment.

:salute: awesome breh....one of my best friends just finished his studio also, we went to school for audio production together, he took a few years to convert his moms old dance studio into a recording studio, so I know how much work goes into it. (Studio DMG | Facebook peep it if you got a sec)

:whoo:That studio is crazy. If I had a space that big I would definitely develop relationships with the local high schools and middle schools and try to get some kids in there to learn about music and business. I want to use the business to be able to give the kids an outlet to express themselves freely and learn how to use their energy for something positive

im trying to build my own studio don't have a clue on how to do it.
You can start small and slowly upgrade based on your needs. The trick is to spend your money wisely. You can easily find yourself spending money on equipment that looks cool but you will never use or will outgrow very quickly. You can go a long way with a closet, and decent computer and a decent condenser microphone. If you're ever interested in building a small set up let me know your budget and I can help steer you in the right direction.

I honestly don't remember off the top of my head what the grand total was, but the equipment that sticks out in my mind are:

Avalon 737-sp: $2,500
Krk Monitors and Sub: $700
iMac 27": $2,000
Mackie Control Center: $250
Avantone CV12: $500
dope..

but imma be honnest.. i find the knockoffs to be just as good sounding..

like Art Pro Channel instead of Avalon... 400$

i used to have high end gear too...sold them.. bought low end gear....my only beef is my mic but sound almost the same..

old equipment was around 5000$ new equipment. 1200$...

I disagree highly that an Art Pro sounds just as good as an Avalon.
I can tell you that audio quality has a ton of variables involved though.
Putting a garbage microphone through an avalon is not going to make it sound like a $3,000 nueman u87i.
There are a lot of things to consider such as mic quality, mic placement, vacuum tubes, acoustic treatment, speaker placement, speaker quality, D/A converters, etc.
I've had behringer, art pro, UA, and avalon preamps in my studio and I can tell you the difference between the behringer and the art pro vs the avalon and the UA is night and day.
It isn't even a fair comparison, especially with an engineer that knows how to actually use the equipment.

If you are using different equipment and genuinely feel you are getting the same quality I would question your "ear" for sound and your speakers and listening environment. There's no way that you should be using an Art Pro and an Avalon and not be able to hear the difference. Not trying to talk down to you at all. Just saying something is up if you aren't hearing the difference. I know when I started to get my feet wet with mixing I first had to be taught how to "hear". For the longest time I literally couldn't hear anything the engineers were talking about. With enough practice I started to pick up on different frequencies and nuances in sound.
