What Equipment would I need to have a home recording studio?
I want to start making music and i would like to know how to have a home recording studio and where can i buy these products?
Assembling a home studio project could represent a catchy job, and it is facile to expend a good deal of money and blow a lot of time and effort. There’s a lot assembling into an home studio than merely purchasing the equipment. What you will need for a good home studio?
* Mic Preamp
* Microphone
* SoundCard – Interface
* Cables
* recording software
You’re budget is $300. Do you have a PC? If not, that can be a problem, but we can still manage. This is what I have in my own Home Studio. With a proper mixing, you’ll make your vocals sound like crazy.

This is by far the best choice under $300. Amazon.com is a trusted website, so the shipping will be very fast.
If you don’t have a PC yet, I recommend you to buy a second-hand PC or laptop, and a cheaper usb sound card.
