What do I need for a home recording studio?
I’m looking to build a home studio to record my music. Is it possible for me to build a set of equipment based around a laptop? If so, what exactly do I need to record the best quality tracks without spending too much for equipment?
If it helps, the music I plan on recording has (at most), drums, bass, 2 guitars, and maybe a keyboard.
You need a laptop, preferrably with Firewire if you plan on recording with more than 1 mic (or USB 3.0). It should also be fast enough to support Pro Tools or another recording program.
From there, you need:
Guitars with good pickups
Amps (not crappy starter amps and not 100 watt tube amps)
Bass
Instrument mic
keyboard
Drums
Drum mic kit
Vocal mic
A good place build for recording
high quality cables
Good Recording program
USB firewire/USB Interface
Compressors
Effects
Guitars are difficult. Get someone who hasn’t had it intonated in awhile, has cheap pickups or a cheap amp, and the sound of the entire recording will come out crumby.
I suggest getting a tube amp under 15 watts. Orange has the Tiny Terror that would be a decent option.
Mic’s (Shure SM57 is an industry standard for instruments)
I suggest at minimum a 7 piece drum mic kit (and knowing how to set these up takes a lot of time, patience, practice and understanding.
For that, you’ll then need an 8 track USB or Firewire interface.
Vocal mic’s, I have no experience with these.
Pro Tools is the industry standard.
If you have absoultely nothing, all this could cost you $20K or more, but a lot of guys will have an amp, a guitar or bass, a computer, and a couple other things as well.

Which OS is best for home recording studio – Windows 7 or XP?
I’ll be using home recording software as well as things like FL Studio for MIDI keyboard use. I’m thinking of using XP again because Windows 7 is pissing me off, it won’t let me install anything, at least XP will run anything you put onto it. Suggestions?
I use XP for my home recording studio. I have no problems caused by the operating system and I do lots of midi stuff including using an external midi keyboard and multi-track virtual instruments. I’m sure it’ll be just fine for you needs.
Hope that helps!
