once you’ve got that then all you need is a mic. do some research on what mic will fit your situation as you start recording. i like the Rode NT1a which runs about $240. also you can go with the shure sm 57 or sm 58 to get started. i believe those are each around a hundred. the mic is the most important piece of gear you will have in a studio because it captures the sound. if you buy a cheap mic, you will get a cheap sound.

from there you would be pretty much set for basic recording. you can add on from there. studio monitors should probably be your next investment as well as adding a few other mics and maybe some plug-ins for mixing.

check guitarcenter.com sweetwater.com and musiciansfriend.com they will typically offer studio packages which will include a variety of things to get yourself started.

at some point you may also need some sound treating material but you can usually avoid a lot of this with creativity and research on room acoustics.

good luck

for more advanced recording you can get an interface. the interface is responsible for connecting instruments and microphones to your computer. the interface also will contain software for recording and mixing. some may also come with virtual instruments in order to create music, or you may have to buy that seperatly. when choosing an interface you will need to look at how much multi-tracking you plan on doing. multi-tracking meaning recording multiple tracks at the same time. for instance if you want to record a band with a vocalist, bassist, guitarist and keyboard all together you would want enough inputs to be able to do that. 4 would be the minimum in this case. however, on the same project you could use an interface with only 1 input and you could record everything individually and then mix them together. it all depends on you and what you plan on recording. when it comes to tracking drums, i want no less than 4 inputs alone for drums, i’d actually like more around 8 but could make 4 work. if you plan on recording drums i don’t suggest using one mic in the middle of the room unless that mic is a Blue Bottle or some other high end mic.

another thing to think about when looking at interfaces is the software that comes with it. the Mbox series comes with protools which is pretty much industry standard for recording. you also will pay another hundred or two for an interface that comes with protools. at the end of the day, all of the recording software will be pretty much the same with a few different bells and whistles here and there.

once that is decided you need mics. again this will depend on what you want to record. i don’t suggest going and getting crappy mics to save money because at the end of the day it will produce crappy sound. a good collection of mics will boost the sound of your recordings. for guitars and such i would recommend an SM 57. it’s a standard mic at almost all if not all studios. it’s really versatile in a studio and having a few of them for drums and guitars is good. they’re also fairly cheap in the grand scheme of mics at around $100. for vocals on the cheap end i’d get an SM 58 which has been a staple in studios and live shows for a long time, again around $100. I personally recommend everyone the Rode NT1a. I’ve heard it on a variety of applications and it has never let me down. it sells for around $240. for drums you may look into getting a drum mic package deal from guitarcenter.com. i really like the yamaha sub-kick on the kick drum, it retails around $5-600 i think. the mic captures the sound, so don’t be cheap here.

you can find on sweetwater.com guitarcenter.com or musiciansfriend.com and find studio package deals. some include just an interface and mic, some include that plus monitors and mixers, some include computers as well. you can find some good deals to get everything you need to get started in one purchase. it may be something to check out.

those are the basics, you can always add more and more to get bigger and better sound.

If i move to a studio , how much would that cost. How does that work ?
Do i have to rent it or buy it ? What does the monthly rent run up to usually?
Thanks.

Monthly rent on any apartment, or studio depends on where you live. We can’t answer that.

Sound quality is at its best when you mic up good quality guitars and amps with high quality microphones. You can do decent quality be plugging direct into your computer, through a Line 6 POD, or Digidesign Elevenrack. From there, you’ll need to know how to use drum software, and create your own beats.
