Building a home recording studio is a HUGE project isn’t it? It takes months of planning, research, and preparation doesn’t it?

Adobe reader for mac hangs on install. Well most people think so, but the truth is Getting started is far easier than you might imagine. Because REALLY all you need is a few basic essentials. And in today’s post, I’ll show you exactly what they are As I walk you step-by-step through the entire process of building a basic home recording studio from scratch. So let’s get to it. First up Why Simple is Best The fact is, not only is it possible to start off with just a simple studioit’s actually preferable. Because just like with any hobby, by attempting too much too soon: • you get overwhelmed, • you get discouraged, and • you eventually quit.

And all the time and money you invest is wasted. So to avoid this fate, just keep it simple. But you might be wondering How cheap is too cheap? Since home recording can be expensivemusicians often search for the cheapest possible solutions to recording their music.

And that’s fine, exceptthere is such a thing as “ too cheap“. While it is technically possible to build a working studio for as little as $400-$500 There are low limits to what can be accomplished in such a studioand I really wouldn’t recommend it to anyone truly serious about recording their music. Insteadhere’s what I do recommend: The Perfect First Studio for Newbies With the following 9 items: • A Computer • DAW/Audio Interface Combo • Studio Monitors • One or Two Microphones • Headphones • A Few Cables • One Mic Stand • A Pop Filter • Ear Training Software What you have is a simple working studio, perfect for anyone just starting out with home recording.

And here’s why: • It allows you to start ASAP with a minimal investment in both time and money. • More importantlyit’s the perfect foundation to build upon later as your skills mature. Now let’s talk more about each item on the list 1. A Computer When starting a studio from scratch, the computer is the biggest expenditure by far. Because as common wisdom states: Ideally, you want the fastest one you can afford. But these days, virtually everyone already has a computer of some sort.

And virtually all computers are fast enough to at least get you started. So in the beginning, regardless of your budget, I recommend using what you have for now.

If and when you want to upgrade later on, here’s what I recommend: • Classic Example: • Macbook Pro – (//) Up next 2. A DAW/Audio Interface Combo If you don’t already know The DAW ( Digital Audio Workstation) is the software used to record, edit, and mix music on your computer And the Audio Interface is the hardware used to connect your computer with the rest of your gear. These two items can either be bought separately, OR as a combo. But your first studioI highly recommend the combo. Here’s why: • It’s one less item on your shopping list.

• It’s cheaper than buying them separately. • It offers guaranteed compatibility and tech support. Sound doesn't work on chrome. Plus, the two companies that offer these combos are among the best in the business: Presonus and Avid. Presonus offers a free copy of their Studio One Artist DAW with the following popular interfaces: • PreSonus AudioBox USB – (///) • Presonus AudioBox 22VSL – (///) • Presonus Audiobox 44VSL – ( / / /) Avid offers a free copy of their Pro Tools 12 DAW with the following interfaces: • Pro Tools DUET – (///) • Pro Tools QUARTET – (///) Personally, I’d recommend the Pro Tools option to those willing to spend that much. But for most people, the Presonus options are priced a bit more reasonably for first-timers.

Having said that, if you don’t mind purchasing your DAW and interface separately There are still tons more options to explore, and I cover them all in the following two articles: • • Up next 3. Microphones As your studio matures over time You will eventually amass a collection of dozens of different microphones, each for different purposes. For now though, all your really need is 1 or 2 to get started. And the ones you choose will depend on the instruments you plan to record.
