Digital Home Recording Studio Set Up

[kirs10]

Hi. I'm planning to set up a digital home recording studio for our ministry ASAP. We will make our own music and record original songs. Does anybody know all the necessary equipment needed? (I already searched the net but I'm still confused   ) Where can I purchase them? What's the overall budget? I'm not that familiar with the latest tech used in music reproduction so I hope someone can enlighten me here.. Perhaps you can give me a list or something... Any suggestion/idea is very welcome..

hi and welcome to the forums...

try viewing some of the threads here.... its a good place to start....

key decisions are:

budget ceiling?
whether computer or hardware based recording....
lots of stuff are available locally so there should be no problem if you really need to start quickly....

lost of people will help you in this forum... the important thing is that you learn enough to make a valid decision when purchasing the equipment para walang sisihan.....

things to consider:

Computer based

High end PC (Windows based - for a tight budget, Apple Computer - sky's the limit) easy to repair, upgrade and maintain
Recording software - 30% of the budget should go to software
Sound card - PCI card with mic, multiple line inputs. or USB2 or Firewire interface to the PC.

others - microphones, soundproof room, keyboard, guitars, bass, amps, drum kit etc. lots of assorted cables, Music library (sound effects, prerecorded license free music)


Hardware based (stand alone, all in one box) -kinda expensive, better have a warranty..
audio mixer, and recording in one convenient box....

Thanks. Glad to be here  

Yes, I checked the threads that are related to home recording. I already know the PC requirements, but still a newbie about all the other equipments like mixers, audio interfaces, preamps, softwares..etc.

Can someone point me to the right place where existing home studios got their stuff? I just need to have a complete list of all the equipments so I can budget.

Hope someone can help me out.

hey there.

what it is you plan to accomplish in that studio you're trying to put up is the thing that's going to dictate which pieces of equipment you're gonna need.

true, if you are recording drums expect to spend more.  but if it's MIDI music and vocals or guitar track, you can keep the list down considerably.  

the contact numbers of suppliers are here in this forum somewhere.
