My recommendation is to grab the\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2MVc3z3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Razer Blade Stealth 13.3 QHD+ Touchscreen Ultrabook<\/a>. <\/em><\/h4>\n<p><em>It&#8217;s small and is an 8th Generation Intel Quad Core i7-8550U. It also comes stocked with\u00a016GB RAM and a 256GB SSD! I know it sounds like a mouthful but this baby can do almost,,&#8221;Almost&#8221; anything a powerful full PC can do. My thoughts were correct when I put it to the test. It can handle more than 100 tracks of audio and plugins, and effects without crying about it! Maybe a bit pricey at first but trust me, this is well worth the investment! It will be an excellent choice for\u00a0home recording studio equipment essentials.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I could go on and on about computers as the pertain to home studio recording. If you&#8217;re using large virtual instrument libraries like say, a piano, or real bass guitars, you should consider having a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2GEVkcM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">solid state hard<\/a> rive\u00a0installed. I&#8217;ve recently converted all of my computers to solid state drives and man, it&#8217;s been a world of different. Here are a few reasons\u00a0you&#8217;ll want to get a solid state drive for your studio computer.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Computers can boot up in under 15 seconds!<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Virtual instruments load 10 times faster into ram.<\/li>\n<li>Latency. Due to how fast the data is loaded in to ram, you&#8217;re able to use extremely low latency settings with your digital audio workstation.<\/li>\n<li>Power consumption: <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2GEVkcM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solid State Drives<\/a> don&#8217;t require a fraction of the power your normal old school drives would use up. If you have many hard drives running Virtual Instruments and change them over to solid state, you&#8217;ll see your electric bill go down!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2GEVkcM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solid State Hard drives<\/a> rarely crash do do sudden movement of your computer. Or if it fell. There are no moving parts in a solid state hard drive!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>Graham says, \u201cMore often than not you already own a computer that is capable of being the hub of your home recording studio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mac? PC? Graham says you should go with what you know. Great music is being made on both. His one specific recommendation is to get as much RAM as you can afford.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>2. Any DAW (digital audio workstation)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Well, maybe not any Daw. But I do get where they&#8217;re coming from. Some DAWs are simply bad in my opinion, but he&#8217;s including basics in his post.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2MCGSt9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>FL Studio<\/strong><\/a> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2BXAOqg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reason 10<\/a><\/strong> are the most solid and most widely used DAWs out there for 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Just in case you didn&#8217;t already know, you don&#8217;t have\u00a0home recording studio equipment without a solid DAW!<\/p>\n<p><em>You could really do some damage if you understand\u00a0the Digital audio workstation you&#8217;re already using. After many years of producing I have stilled found little secrets that would&#8217;ve have save me tons of hours producing music. Take just a little time everyday learning as much as you can about your music software\u00a0program. There&#8217;s so much more than just simply pressing play and record. You would be surprised! As was I!<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is the program which you\u2019ll be using to record and edit (and sometimes mix and master) your music.<\/p>\n<p>Graham believes that Sonar, Audition, Pro Tools, Cubase, Live, Reason, and Studio One are all great \u2014 so just get one that\u2019s compatible with your computer (and in your price range) and get started!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>3. A solid <a href=\"http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/audio-interfaces\/\">audio interface<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2N4sAkB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MOTU UltraLite AVB USB\/AVB\/iOS Interface<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been using motu in my studio now for more than 15 years. This is a bit more than your\u00a0basic recording equipment type of sound interface.<br \/>\nExcellent sounding pre amp and converters. Not overpriced either. The new <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2N4sAkB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Motu Ultralite avb<\/a> in a usb audio interface with\u00a036 Simultaneous Audio Channels. It&#8217;s super compact and you get 2 mic inputs, two guitar inputs, six line inputs, with line outputs, headphone out and 8-channel optical I\/O for a total of 18 inputs and 18 outputs, simultaneously. A good entry level choice!<\/p>\n<p><em>Now, there are some audio interfaces that are better for certain things, like mobility and pre amps. If you&#8217;re recording say, a vocal mic into your interface, my advice is to have an interface with a good sounding<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ESB8HC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> pre amp<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2N4sAkB\">motu<\/a> will have you covered here! Or better yet, purchase and affordable pre amp from say, amazon, and go from the pre amp into the interface. <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ESB8HC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tube pre amps<\/a> are the best in my opinion.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re recording vocals please use a pre amp!<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You need a way to turn analog or acoustical sounds (vocals, guitars, etc.) into a digital signal. That\u2019s where the audio interface comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Graham says, \u201cMost DAWs work with just about any brand of audio interface. This leads to an endless list of boxes to choose from. Let me give you a suggestion: limit yourself to just 2 channel interfaces. What I mean is, don\u2019t buy more than you need.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>4.

BUT\u2026 if you\u2019re working mostly by yourself, or tracking instruments one at a time, you don\u2019t need more than one or two mics.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Graham cautions that because there are so many quality mics on the market now, you shouldn\u2019t spend any more than $200 on a microphone, unless you\u2019re looking to own a specific mic for a specific reason.

It isn&#8217;t per se home recording studio equipment, but still something you should consider having. Prices for these have come down over the years. Additionally, they are very home studio friendly! Put a few of these up on the wall and ceiling. You&#8217;ll notice the difference. Take my advice. You don&#8217;t want to have acoustics bouncing all over the place when you&#8217;re tracking songs. It&#8217;ll take a whole lot of work to clean that stuff up later.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p><em>To wrap things up, I wanted to follow up on the need for certain brands of home recording studio equipment. Since there is so much out there to choose from regarding things like your computer, your sound interface, your midi interface, and your digital audio workstation. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Let\u2019s keep in mind that many of the basic sound cards and midi interfaces out today should work fine if you have a basic understanding\u00a0on setting things up. Again, this is basic home recording studio start-up equipment.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>About computers. I\u2019ve been through hell and back again when it comes to computers. I believe your computer needs to be solid. Especially if you\u2019re recording live audio rather than just producing. Additionally, backup and sync software are things I would\u2019ve added to Chris\u2019s post. The last thing you want to do is loose your work after being in the zone writing good music. A good habit is to sync your work with a cloud service like dropbox. I know what you&#8217;re thinking. Someone might steal it from the cloud? You&#8217;d have better chances hitting the lottery than someone taking your music from the cloud. I hate to break it to ya. But people don&#8217;t care as much as we might think about stealing our music!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can read the original post by <a href=\"http:\/\/diymusician.cdbaby.com\/musician-tips\/5-essential-components-home-recording-studio\/\">Chris Robley here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form --><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }<br \/>\t\/* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.<br \/>\t   We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. *\/<br \/><\/style>\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup\">\n<form id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" class=\"validate\" action=\"https:\/\/jackiemjoyner.us8.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=7d67caec18a341aa5931763e6&amp;id=d2c6213d82\" method=\"post\" name=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" novalidate=\"\" target=\"_blank\">\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup_scroll\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<h5><strong>If you\u2019re looking to learn how to generate a sustainable income with your music, check out my new eBook \u2013<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3hMDo3a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Turn Your Music Talent Into A Six Figure Income<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3hMDo3a\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-801 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-683x1024.jpg 683w, http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-768x1152.jpg 768w, http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-scaled.jpg 1707w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 200\/300;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-801 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-683x1024.jpg 683w, http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-768x1152.jpg 768w, http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, http:\/\/jackiemjoyner.com\/studiotrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Cover-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I breakdown everything for you in my ebook where you\u2019ll learn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to grow your fan base<\/li>\n<li>How to earn money with your beats and instrumentals<\/li>\n<li>How to distribute your music to the world<\/li>\n<li>How to leverage Social Media as a musician<\/li>\n<li>Learn how to get more gigs.
