should i setup a music studio as business? (points for best answer)?

Question by Matt: should i setup a music studio as business? (points for best answer)?
i was wondering, in your opinion, do you think it would be a good idea to setup a music recording studio as a business?

right now im in college for a criminal justice degree and plan on making a career in law enforcement, but ive always been very musically inclined and just passionate about music in general. Dont get me wrong, i dont plan on abandoning my current carreer path (as a matter of fact i plan on doing both if the money and time is there) and i have no illusions about how hard it is to be successful in the music industry and how artist make money (what little there is left to be made).

i myself am a musician and make my own music. after hours of editing and sampling, etc, etc, i find that i actually enjoy the process of producing a record itself. so naturally i want to possibly explore the possibilties of setting up my own studio (perhaps one day a label). im prepared to invest as much money as necessary to do this, i estimate it would take at the least a 10-15 grande investment (not including leased office space, and yes i know what i will need to set up a studio). i live pretty close to raleigh north carolina and beleive i would probably set up somewhere in the research triangle. i also plan on being the sole employee / owner (maybe hire 1 or 2 people if i make money)

what i want to know is, how hard is it for a recording studio to make money? would it be hard to attract business in the raleigh area? and how much do music studios typically charge to work with artist?

Answer by Krebsy
try and minor in sound or talk to your advisor about wanting to do this. this way you can have some experiance in college. I think you would have alittle bit more prestige than just trying to start it up.
