how 2 start my own home recording studio?wat shld i buy?

Answer 1

It's not as expensive as it used to be. Mostly everything is done with software inside the computer. Sure you'll need a good mic and mic processing. The computer programs I've worked with aren't easy to learn...you might want to go to Yahoo Groups and take a gander at what people are working with. You can still find old versions of Saw and Cool Edit and Cool Edit Pro. Vargas has outstanding processing.

Answer 2

Pro-tools (software.... expensive but the best there is) or Logic or Q-Bass, a wide selection of decent quality microphones (uni and omni directional, ambient mics, vocal mics etc). Soundproofing foam. Some kind of partition so you don't wreck your ears. Lot's of cables, pre-amps, amps etc. Surge protection. A good mixer.

I could go on and on. I don't know how professional you want it to be. If you want a decent set up you'll have to spend a few thousand at least. If you're not quite such a perfectionist then a few hundred would do it.

Answer 3

Unless you have $10,000 (or more) you are going to have a lame studio. Microphones are a must, headphones also. Microphones are expensive too, you could spend 5 grand on a single mic. You should also have things to put on your wall, for sound reasons. To absorb or reverb sound, depending on what you want at the moment of recording. The pyramids work really well, but if you don’t have the money you could go with the egg shells.

Answer 4

EZ...for $one hundred you will desire to purchase a microphone and a house-recording application...merely set that up with your laptop and you're solid to pass. I truly have Magix music maker...this is style of previous, even though it gets the activity accomplished

Answer 5

A Mac and iLife 07 when it comes out.
