The music arena is continually expanding to include incredibly diverse talent. If you are an aspiring DIY musician or music producer, owning your own space and gear to transform those creative ideas into lovely music is a dream come true. Therefore, you must familiarize yourself with the basics before you venture into setting up your home studio.

Essential Components You Require

1. Computer

Whether you'll do everything using software instruments solely or if you'll utilize a digital audio workstation (DAW) such as Pro Tools or Ableton, your PC will most probably be the hub of the setup. Determine whether a laptop or desktop would suit you best. For instance, a laptop is more advisable if you plan to move around a lot. Invest in as much RAM as you can.

2. Audio interface

This is how you turn external analog and acoustical sounds into digital files and link your computer to the monitor speakers when you are not using your headphones. If you plan on using multiple microphones, a Roland Juno synthesizer, or an external drum kit, make sure you buy an audio interface with adequate inputs to accommodate the instruments.

3. Monitor Speakers or Headphones

You want to listen to the music you produce, right? Monitor speakers are how you will be able to run quality sound checks on your music. They should be neutral without any boosts and tweaks as you will be assessing all sound frequencies. Other factors may play a role when it comes to picking a pair of monitors like the size and layout of your room. A properly acoustically treated home studio will require fewer monitor speakers due to lesser sound distortion. Go for a duo like the Mackie CR4 which not only gives clear and neutral sound but are also pocket-friendly.

A functional set of headphones enables you to listen to how mixes sound outside of speakers. A pair like the Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro will guarantee you professional mixing, mastering, and editing.

Take Away

Whether it's the recently released Radio Pioneer system or pRCF audio item, buying the right equipment is very important. Scout for packages from a credible company like Soundcraft by Harman. An inclusive purchase is gentler on your pocket compared to purchasing each component separately.
