Thanks dude!!

[@inlovingmemoryofdouglasmul5216]

Only need 8 of these. Studio monitors aren't a necessity and if you're "room" isn't treated well then you're better off mixing with headphones as the monitors will give u a false representation of the true sound. And u don't need a midi keyboard/interface

[@inlovingmemoryofdouglasmul5216]

I would add some kind of room treatment to the list though if you don't want to sound like shit atleast bass traps.

This is cool. It shows you really don't need too much. All I have is a microphone, and a MIDI keyboard, and headphones. My setup works well for me.

[@haisekasaki5417]

1.PC (any type)(Macs are too expensive and good pc can do a lot more things) 2.Audio interface + microphone 3.recording end editing software (You can get DAW but you can also get Audacity and do everything in that) 4.any midi sequencer and some vsts (you need sequencer to make sequences that you directly record to audacity) 5.Hardware synths and other real instruments (software ones are good for a short time but the hardware ones are always great) 6.stompboxes (analog efects)

[@DarkSoulx7]

This is the first time I've watched a "things you need" video and had everything in it.

[@karenhellyer]

I appreciate the brevity of laying out the essentials, AND think it's worth mentioning room treatment and sound proofing. If you put all of this gear in a room with no absorption or deflection, you'll be limited in your ability to accurately mix.

[@inlovingmemoryofdouglasmul5216]

Yah exactly what I just commented in which case you can take monitors off the list because you are better off mixing with the proper headphones.

[@silkroad1201]

One of the most important and least talked about necessities is a ups battery backup, like an APC. You'll know why the first time your power goes out and your speakers pop and you lose all your progress (or potentially damage your gear) You'll also consume less electricity and keep the energy flow consistent. Which will save you money and make your system less noisy during minor power spikes. It's honestly pretty stupid not to have one. Every decent engineer I've ever met wouldn't dare turn their gear on without it

Hey I have the new macbook pro, will the audio interface plug into it ?

[@yosoymichaelmyers]

What do you think about compressors and stuff like that would they be better than plugins?

[@PRODUCEMUSICNOW]

I’d probably buy outboard gear very last. Maybe an outboard mic preamp after you have a great vocal mic, but I definitely would stick with software plugins for things like compression, EQ, reverb, delay, etc. You’ll get awesome results with stock software plugs if you know what you’re doing

Can you record bass guitar, guitar and drums one by one at a time ?

[@PRODUCEMUSICNOW]

@@KovacJ yes, and thats what most people at home do unless you’re recording bands and you have multiple microphones/inputs on your interface. When recording tracks one at a time, I suggest starting with drums to get the groove, then add bass, then record guitars/chord-type elements.

[@vihaansingh9834]

Do we need headphones if we already have studio monitors? Will it work just fine?😅

[@PRODUCEMUSICNOW]

If you’re recording with microphones, you will need headphones. You need to be able to hear your click track and the other tracks you’re playing along to. If you play that through your monitors, the microphone will also pick up the monitors and you’ll end up with a big mess

[@pruthviparab5381]

Thanks Bro It Worked

[@GeorgeStraughn]

Hi Andy. I really enjoyed this information. I will be setting up a new studio in the near future. My question is how do you setup dual computer screens?

[@PRODUCEMUSICNOW]

You should be able to just plug the second screen into your computers HDMI port. Then go into your computer settings > displays > then click “Arrangement” Then uncheck “Mirror Displays” and you should be good to go (this is for Macs)

[@GeorgeStraughn]

@@PRODUCEMUSICNOW Does this work the same on Windows?

[@PRODUCEMUSICNOW]

@@GeorgeStraughn yeah it should be the same thing. There should still be a “display” settings in your preferences or something. You might just have to click around to find it. You don’t need a separate program or anything though and all computers come with this ability

Can you read music notes???

[@e.o.a101]

I'm creating a home studio, but is it necessary to have monitors, I don't even have enough space in my bedroom to fit them? If I don't buy them will it affect my music recordings?

[@PRODUCEMUSICNOW]

You realistically don’t NEED monitors, but they do make life a lot easier. In your situation, I’d buy a pair of open-back mixing headphones and use those in place of monitors. Make sure you spend a good amount of time just listening to music with them though, so you get used to how finished music sounds on them. I’d also make sure you’re pulling a “reference mix” into your mixing sessions and constantly compare your mix to the reference mix. That way you’ll make sure you’re getting your low end, high end, and all that correct when mixing your tracks. Then also periodically switch between your mixing headphones and some generic earbud headphones to make sure your tracks sound good on multiple sets of speakers. If you do that, you’ll be fine without monitors. I did this for like 2 years when I was first getting into it

[@rockman49er]

Hmm got all this and a hole lot more even have the dj system to blow the roof off I am currently using the ableton live trial but it's so mind boggling I went out and bought the best of the best equipment for my studio just hope I can figure it out hope I didn't waste a bunch of money 😀

[@bigbadjojo4863]

i prefer stand alone products, is their a daw for that?

[@orestisvas7277]

That helps a lot but I have one question. If I want to use the pc for something else like watching videos or playing video games will I still be able to use the mic and headphone to talk/ hear on this stuff or do I need other devices directly to the pc. Thanks

[@WycliffStudios]

Which Macbook pro are you using bro ?

[@PRODUCEMUSICNOW]

That was a 2015 MacBook Pro. I believe 3.2 quad core i7 with 16 gigs of RAM. I just bought an Apple Mac mini M1 that’s way better and about half the price. I’d go that route if you aren’t moving around from place to place.

[@WycliffStudios]

@@PRODUCEMUSICNOW thank you but since I’ll be moving a lot I need to get a laptop

[@PRODUCEMUSICNOW]

@@WycliffStudios aim for something with at least 2Ghz 4 cores, 8 GB ram (16 would be really solid) and aim for 1TB SSD if you can. 1TB is getting up there, but it’s a good amount to have. You can go less and run sessions off an external hard drive anyway

[@Deanisok]

A Room 12ft x 10 ft sound proofing or foam pads... how much cost and how much foam pads will i need ?

[@PRODUCEMUSICNOW]

In a perfect world, I’d probably get some bass traps and stack them in all four corners of the room from floor to ceiling. Then on the actual walls, I’d put 2 2x4ft panels on the 10ft walls and put 3 of them on each of the 12 foot walls. That would probably put you in a great spot. If thats too expensive, I’ve gotten away with duct taping my bed comforter onto the back wall to cover as much of it as possible. Moving blankets also work. I still do that from time to time depending on where I’m at at the moment.

Let me know, how much it cost to complete a full studio ,

[@PRODUCEMUSICNOW]

It really depends on how much you spend on individual pieces of gear. You could get everything I mention in this video for under $700 probably. If you don't use monitors and use headphones instead, you can probably do it for under $300-$400. For good microphones and monitors, you can always look on ebay, too.
