items These are the things you need to start a recording studio from the comfort of your own home!
You’re going to need an Audio Interface to process and hook everything up to. I recommend the Scarlett as a great budget option, I’ve had one for two years and it has yet to let me down once!
Focusrite Scarlett Audio Interface
I would like to state that this isn’t the exact laptop I would recommend. You just need something that has at least 1TB of SSD for speed and 8-16GB of RAM. Get more than that if you can afford it, mine is on the lower end of those. It’s three years o...
Laptop/PC
In my opinion, this is the best microphone money can buy for recording music and podcasting. This was used by Michael Jackson, today it is used by Joe Rogan. In other words, it’s old reliable. I must admit the price is high, I will link a cheaper alt...
Shure SM7B Dynamic Cardioid Vocal Microphone
These are the cheaper options for microphone and headphones without giving up too much quality. I have used this myself for much of my recording and it gets the job done!
Audio-Technica Microphone and Headphones
These are a bit pricier than the bundle I’ve listed, but they aren’t outrageous and it’s what I’d recommend over others. They aren’t very dynamic and handle highs and lows well.
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Studio Monitoring Headphones
If you’re going to be recording in a loud environment, this is a must have to block out any unwanted noises.
Portable Vocal Booth
Before you even think about recording anything, you’re going to need a DAW. This is the platform that you’re going to be able to run your audio through. You can add effects, instruments, etc. I recommend FL Studio as it is very beginner friendly!
FL Studio
If you want to hear what others will hear before mixing and mastering your songs, you will need a pair of speakers.
Audio-Technica AT-SP3X Powered Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)
If the Shure is too pricy for you at the moment, this microphone will more than get the job done.
Rode NT1 Signature Series Condenser Microphone with Shockmount and Pop Filter
For sounds, samples, etc. I would get a subscription through splice. They have a HUGE library of sounds for you to choose from that can be downloaded directly into your DAW of choice!
