Thanks to computers and modern recording studio software, it is now possible for anyone to make professional quality digital music recordings from the privacy of their own home. In fact a lot of the songs that we hear on the radio and access on the internet were recorded in nothing but the musician or producers home studio.
In the past, multiple pieces of hardware were needed for different functions, like multi-track recorders, mix down machines and outboard processors. It was basically a room full of expensive equipment all tied together with miles of cable.
Today, if you own a computer, you can make quality recordings. It all depends on how much you want to spend on recording studio software. With a computer and studio software, there’s really not a whole lot more money that has to be spent. Of course to make a good recording you’ll need a studio quality microphone, a pre-amp and a set of studio monitors. Other than that, your good to go.
If you don’t already have a computer, a PC or a MAC will work equally well. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, so what ever you feel comfortable with will work. The most important thing you’ll want to look at is the specs of the computer. For recording studio work, get one with a minimum 120 GB hard drive. You’ll also need to get as much RAM as possible. Try to get one with a minimum of 512 MB of RAM.
When you build a home recording studio, you have the freedom to be as creative and as experimental as you want. Who knows, the next number one hit might be recorded in your bedroom.
