Making music with your computer

computerized recording studio at home should include a computer powerful enough (at least 1 GB RAM), the audio interface, and a program for digital audio workstation. If you want to save all acoustic instruments or voices need microphones. For those interested in the use of synthesizers, samplers, loops, and drum machines, I recommend the Reason software. Also, of course, need some kind of system to listen to his music. You really should have both speakers and headphones (listening to music of both sides to ensure you have a good mix.)

What type of equipment should you get? Well, if you have already a team that is happy with you can probably use one you already have. But you should make sure you have at least 1GB RAM. And in all likelihood you want more than that. I recommend at least 2GB's recording and mixing software may work better with more RAM.

If you have a Mac or a PC? In my opinion, these two options is very good. Most people make too much of this deal. Some programs work better with one or the other, while others programs only work with one or the other. So if you have a safety program that you really want to use, make sure it is compatible with the computer.

What kind of audio interface you get depends on two things: Your needs and your budget. If you plan on recording than yourself, then you will not need more than two tickets (maximum). Except, of course, have a battery in vivo (which is good for recording drums with many different mic.) But there is more to consider than how many contributions you get with the interface, you should also consider the quality of sound. more expensive models also tend to have better sound quality. Get what you can afford.

There are many options for workstations, digital audio (DAW) software. It is Pro Tools (which works with Digidesign audio interfaces.) It Cubase. It Nuendo. No logic. And there are some others too. What is appropriate for you? Well first you need to know that some of these programs do not work with PC (Cakewalk Sonar, Sony Acid) or Mac (Logic and Digital Performer). Sleeps I think they are all very similar in reality. The important thing is that you feel more comfortable. You can download demo versions to see which one suits you best. There are some general tips on stations work which can give audio: Sony Acid tends to be a good option for those who make music loop basis (like hip hop and techno.) Cubase is a good option for those on a PC or Mac. Pro Tools is a good option for those who use a Mac, but probably not the best choice for Windows used. He tends to work better on Macs and it's not really all that functionality as Cubase.

Regarding the pickups you want to buy a condenser microphone recordings of voices and acoustic instruments. With microphones usually get what you pay for. Microphone clarity is better (and better preamps, but it a bit too complicated for this article.) Improved microphones cost more. Dynamic microphones are suitable for recording drums and amplifiers. I would say they are less essential if you have a battery. If you have plugins for guitar sound effects (like the waves GTR 3), then it will probably able to get a good sound to connect your electric guitar (or bass) directly into your audio interface.

The reason is the best one-stop solution for those who want a drum machine, sampler, synthesizer, and / or program placement. This is a premium software I can not recommend higher. If you can afford it and are interested in a sort of "synthesis" of elements in their music, so it should be.
