heyy i was wondering how to set up a rehearsal space for my band and what to get, we're all beginners and don't have a ton of money to blow on premium equipment, what would be the essentials?
#what should i get for a beginner rehearsal space on a budget?
rose sierra
hoary plaza
Also maybe a mic
chilly parrot
some bands have dedicated rehearsal spaces they pay for bc one reason or another, some need recording and demo equipment
some need extra sound proof
some dont have a garage or basement so need to rent a space for everyone to play
bottom line is
all a rehearsal room needs is to allow u to play
hoary plaza
My band just practices in a living room most the time

i see tysm
opaque stone
Storage units (given proper ventilation etc) and similar spaces are also another viable option if located in an area where a ton of noise doesn't make a difference. Here in Athens there's plenty of such DIY spaces, we have entire buildings full to the brim with bands. Cost wise it's about 150eur/month split amongst ~10+ people in 3-4 bands so rent and utilities don't cost much per person
Note that this cost doesn't include all the gear you'll need in said room, this just has to do with renting the space itself

i already have a space, i just wanna get a general idea of what to buy
bleak path
Thick carpets and a mini fridge
A general room mic would be good though so you can easily record your ideas

like i said
the only purpose of a rehearsal space is to allow the players to play together
u buy what u need
if u can just set up in a space and play together as is with no issues then u dont need to buy anything
u said ur all beginners, so if anything all u need is to get good
