How to set up a Home Studio to record live Acoustic music..?

Author: admin Category: Home Music Studio

What is the cheapest way to set up your own studio-

What programmes/equipments do you need ?

Any equipment/ brand suggestions ?

The simpliest set up is:

1. PC/Mac

2. Microphone: start with a cheap one because you can spend a fortune on them.

3. Audio interface (gets the analogue mic signal into your digital computer).

4. Software audio recorder. ie Audacity, Soundforge or Garage Band

Audacity is free shareware:

5. Software sequencer mid range (Reason, Garage Band or Fruity Loops) or high end (Cubase, Logic or Pro Tools).

    cheap way is to set up a mixer from radio shack and also get you a 4 channel mixer also……the reason for the 4 channel mixer is that you can record drums on one and guitar on 2 and etc…..its like having 4 recorders cheap….then you ping them back through with more recordings and walla you can sound like Sony or bmi or what ever studio you want …good luck
