Setting up a Record Studio in Your Home

By Tawnya Hsia


Your Own Recording Studio in the Comfort of Your Home

A lot of people can only wonder and be intrigued by the equipment that can be found in a recording studio. It is not so surprising that many people would like to know what are the equipments available in a recording studio. Such inquisitiveness could be due to a great passion for making and hearing music.

The equipments and instruments found in a studio is actually specific to the type of studio that it is. The type of studio and the musical genre are always major considerations. Studios usually cater to every type of music, may it be rock, or jazz, and they can even play electronic or techno type of music. Studio owners have the prerogative to play which ever genre of music they want to play in their own studio. The instruments used vary based on the genre of music that will be produced.

The current trend in music, to a certain extent, limits the use of equipments that are from older models. Specific types of music that we have today require new equipment and may not sound as good when old equipment is used.

It is necessary that you have your own set of headphones, a personal computer, amplifiers, microphones, microphone stands, memory cards, a DVD writer, audio interface and cables. The music industry offers a wide variety of software which are produced by different brands. You can choose the best one that fits your standards as well as your budget. Other standard equipments that you need to own include speakers, musical instruments, and synthesizer.

The profitability of your business is largely dependent on the completeness of your devices, software, and other equipments. Your home-based studio will be functional and complete if you have all of the equipments that I have previously mentioned. The musical instruments don't even have to be high-end, you just have to pick the ones that are very commonly used and are appropriate for your studio type.

It is also possible to add a twist to your music through some computer software. The computer is capable of recording the sound and storing it in the memory card so you could process it straight from the microphone and other recording equipments. Adding some special effects to the recorded sound should make it more pleasing.

Another thing that's important is the room arrangement which also has a huge impact on the quality of the sound that will be recorded. Arranging the room in such a way that noise from the outside surroundings is blocked is also very important to achieve high quality of sound.
