Choosing right place for recording studio at home


If you are married and have kids, forget it! (Just kidding girls). No, seriously, if you can afford to throw a wooden or metal and in your garden! Finding the right place should not be so hard to do, have one thing in mind. It could be as simple as a closet unused (if an animal) or a guest room. It should be quiet and the air conditioner outdoor air. The electrical wiring must be properly grounded to prevent 60 Hz hum selected area should be large enough so that after installing the soundproofing material is still large enough to easily get to all teams, players and instruments for recording engineers of the plan.

An important factor to consider before building fund your studies. Finance, the options available to determine not the quality of your product. Consider the teams that do not have to do now, but you have to. Cables, sound cards, USB, microphone, external hard drives and additional RAM are often overlooked things.

The things that you do not need it, but I could not live without a blender, external hardware such as equalizers, compressors, gates, limiters and effects, MIDI synthesizers and huge speakers. Everything in the modern recording environment can be performed with the software, with the exception of the inputs. Therefore, the external sound card.

The simplest configuration for the registration of a laptop with built-in microphone and software DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). If this is your situation very well. You can save anywhere in the world during the time your battery lasts.

Some materials are required:

The simplest and cheapest is to get good records to make your stay dead. You should be recording all dry at the start anyway, and placement of effects and treatment of tracks later. A fourth means to people as the room is not their own sound. No sound environment is reflected in walls, ceilings or floors. To do this, go to Wal-Mart and the size of the egg foam pillows and beds box hanging on the walls and ceiling. It must be perfect. In fact, meets less perfect and the more the better.

Materials needed:

If you are ready to record electric instruments an external USB sound card require a preamplifier. This will give you low latency with the ability to play in real time. It's a good idea to have a large number of cables and connectors are of good quality. If you're a DIY kind of person that the cables are easy to make. Get over 1 / 4 "to 1 / 8" (3.5mm) headphone socket. They are inexpensive and very useful.

If only the voice recording and composition of the other instruments in the virtual environment, then you are really do not need anything more. If your microphone is not easy does it mean for you, then I recommend purchasing a quality USB condenser microphone.

Software suggested:

Select a DAW is a very personal decision. Do you spend much time in front of him, then you must look forward with its performance and business support. Most have a process or a trial version available for download. E-mail to find out how fast you respond and depth of the answer. I personally use Cakewalk Sonar Producer X1. They are the pioneers of the digital audio workstation and use it for almost 17 years. But I suggest you to go to Amazon and search for music applications. Read what customers with filters. Keep a list of impressive, then on their websites and download demos or trials and tests. A large selection of them. I also recommend doing the same when looking for plugins.
