Own rap base for the most part turns out to be an inaccessible luxury not only for beginners, but also for well-established musicians. Meanwhile, it is the ability to conduct rehearsals in normal conditions that largely determines the quality and coherence of the band’s sound during concerts. Of course, sooner or later there will be some kind of rap base. Someone plays on the territory of local recreation centers or negotiates the lease of school grounds. Someone finds a garage or warehouse for rehearsals. In any case, an unequipped rap base can hardly be compared to a normal rehearsal room.
But where to look for such exclusive options? For the most part, representatives of production and recording companies rent out rap bases for a moderate fee to musicians. And here it is very important to clearly formulate the requirements for your rep base. For example, someone needs a complete set of equipment in a set with a room. And someone will only carry out preparations for the concert at the rap base. But whatever your requirements, it is important that the proposed premises fully comply with them in all respects.
What to look for when choosing a rep base?
All existing venues are mostly located on the territory of recording studios. Accordingly, when renting a room in such a space, it is important to remember such factors as:
- area of the room – depending on the size of the team, the rep site or base should occupy at least 12 m2, and ideally at least 40 m2;
- the cost of renting a site – to create your musical masterpieces, largely depends on how professional and expensive the equipment installed there will be. However, it is just better not to save on this expense item;
- the ability to choose the equipment you will be working on is a big plus for novice musicians. It is worth taking a closer look at a studio that offers such conditions and is ready to work on an individual basis with its tenants;
- the availability of discounts on the rental of rehearsal areas at certain hours is another important moment in the life of musicians who do not have extra funds for expenses.
In general, based on these main points, each musician will be able to choose from a variety of rap bases the one that will completely suit him.
