For a cosy jamming and recording sesh, look no further than the Music Parlour. Sharing the same space with music shops and services, it's also home to three industrial studios. The rooms range from small to extra large and are divisible by retractable panels, so if you decide to mass rock out, the rooms can be altered to accommodate more than 20 people. Want to put on an intimate show? You can also book the rooms for your mini-gig a la local artists Charlie Lim and Joie Tan.

Rather than going down to the basement as its name suggests, climb up Golden Mile Tower to find a space that's well-equipped with state-of-the-art facilities fit for practices, recordings and playful jamming sessions.

Some studios also provide the services of an audio engineer with the rental, who can assist in achieving optimal recording results.

In the middle of last year, I wrote two posts outlining my plans for a small studio here in Singapore. The first, Anchoring A Recording Studio questioned whether a small studio really needed to follow the example of big studios, now that digital technology has changed our approach to recording.

The second post, Anchoring A Recording Studio Part 2, was a more pragmatic piece, explaining my decision to build a small, live-music oriented studio, around an exciting new console from Allen & Heath.

The word project studio seems to confuse a lot of people. I guess we can never hope to standardise these kinds of terms. For me, a home studio is simply a place in your home where you can record music. Whereas, a project studio is a higher quality space, built for recording a producing specific kinds of musical projects. The project studio could be in a home or not and is built around the musical ideas and sonic signature of one musician, producer or band. This is in contrast to a commercial studio, which is built to be flexible enough to handle a wide variety of projects, workflows and allow for a range of sonic signatures.

Today it is much easier than it was 20-30 years ago, to build a studio, buy the best gear, or learn how to record and produce music to the highest standards. Make some good gear choices and apply the right techniques and you can make amazing recordings in even the most modest settings. And, of course, you work with tremendous control in the digital realm.

In this video, Steve Vai gives us a nice tour of his new studio, The Harmony Hut. Steve is combining some big studio approaches with a project studio vibe, with gear choices totally driven by his projects and sound ideas.

"I've lost about $40,000 in business since the start of the year. We couldn't carry on so we decided to sell off some of the equipment and close the studios," says the 48-year-old who first opened his studios under a different name, O'lando, back in 2005. He now relies on the rental business for income.

Like many other businesses in Singapore, jamming studios - an essential part of the music scene here - have been hard hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. It is estimated that there are over 40 jamming studios dotted around Singapore, with hourly rates that range from $10 to more than $70 per hour. Many of them are small-scale establishments, offering a range of one to five studios each and are owned by people who love music or are musicians themselves.
