Setting up a basic
home recording studio
In days gone by, recording studios were the sole
domain of producers and engineers, who worked their magic on all manner of
arcane equipment to get the results they, and you, were after. Now, pretty much
anyone with a computer and a few bits of affordable kit can get great results
if they’re prepared to invest the time in learning the
basics.
So you’ve learned a few
chords and scales, composed a selection of melodies and have pieced together
the basics of your first fully-fledged songs. Be a shame not to get them
recorded, wouldn’t it? Fortunately,
this is a lot easier than it perhaps seems at first.
Let's see what you need and how to start
Let's see what you need and how to start
1. External hard disc drive.
Perhaps the most important, yet boring, item in any studio is the external hard disc drive. These can be picked up relatively cheaply now, and are your safety net against crashing computers. It’s a sad fact of life – even the most expensive, hifalutin machine will occasionally have its wobbly moments. The law of sod says it will be when you’ve spent three hours crafting the most amazing, ethereal synth line to crown off your signature track. Protect yourself against these kind of unavoidable facepalm moments with one of these. You simply won’t regret it.

2. Monitor speakers
If you think you can get away with only using your built-in laptop speakers, or headphones, you need to have a serious word with yourself. If you want to do a proper job, you need the proper tools.In order to hear the sounds you’re recording, you’ll need a pair of decent quality Monitor
Speakers
3. Computer
This is the brains of the operation, the hub around which everything centres. This blog isn’t the place to get into a PC vs Mac debate; whichever you currently have, or are looking to buy, should however come with enough RAM (4GB and over) and a speedy processor to ensure you can spend more time working and less time looking at status bars.On the computer,
you’ll need a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) of some kind. These are the
programmes into which you will be recording and editing your music, as well as
adding effects and mixing, so find one you are comfortable using and that has
the full feature set you require.
4. Audio interface

4. Audio interface
Unless you’ve bought a dedicated music production
computer, the chances are you’ll need a way of physically getting your sounds
into your DAW. Step forward the audio interface.
Effectively an external, high quality, dedicated sound card, these take an
audio signal from your guitar, microphone or keyboard, and convert it into one
which can be captured by your computer.

you need to record a vocal and a guitar, you’ll need two inp
What you’ll be looking for here is an interface
which can record as many ‘inputs’ as your require. If, for example, you need to
record a vocal and a guitar, you’ll need two inputs. If you’re multi-miking
drums, bass and guitar to record a full-band take, you may need eight or more.The audio interface also outputs the audio signal to your monitor speakers, and
controls the different incoming and outgoing volume levels.
5. Microphones
Professional recording engineers know that
creative microphone selection is an essential ingredient in every great
recording. If you’re new to recording, however, the subject of microphones is
probably shrouded in mystery. With a bit of studio experience under your belt,
you learn that certain mics work well for recording particular instruments, but
without an understanding of acoustic theory, you likely won’t understand why.
Do you reach for a dynamic or a condenser mic? With so many mics to choose
from, it can seem overwhelming, so a basic understanding of microphone types and
their uses will serve you well. A bad mic choice usually comes back to haunt
you – sticking out like a sore thumb in the mix – but not to fear!
5. Daw (Digital Audio
Workstation)
A digital audio workstation (DAW for
short) is an electronic device or application software for recording,
editing and producing audio files such
as musical pieces, songs, speech or sound effects. DAWs come in a
wide variety of configurations from a single software program on a laptop, to an integrated
stand-alone unit, all the way to a highly complex configuration of numerous
components controlled by a central computer. Regardless of configuration,
modern DAWs have a central interface that allows the user to alter and mix multiple
recordings and tracks into a final produced piece.
DAWs are used for the production
and recording of music, radio, television, podcasts, multimedia and nearly any
other situation where complex recorded audio is needed.
