How to create a home recording studio? Here is an affordable setup
The first thing you need to do when you assemble your home studio is to get a computer with enough RAM (minimum 2GB of RAM) to sustain the producing and recording process.

If you got that out of the way, it's time to buy the actual items required for a recording studio
The Condenser Microphone
The Microphone Stand
The Pop filter
An Audio Interface
Optionally, you can add a microphone preamplifier, compressor, etc

That's pretty good for a stick, right?

All you need is a voice, an idea and a... recording equipment. Before searching for recording studio equipment for sale, you should know exactly why you need a recording studio.
