Hey everybody,
Thus far my studio is in its infancy, sporting solely an iMac and a Ion USB turn table. My question is this: what other key components should I be looking at? I am going to get Logic pro (eventually) but don't know when to buy it. Do I buy a fire/m-box or do I spend money on a sick mixer or logic pro? When should I get speakers? etc... Also, any suggestion on the order of purchase and what I need to purchase? Thank you in advance for your responses. |

Well, what type of music exactly are you looking to make? I found the best practice for building a studio was to purchase something out of necessity. When a problem comes up you can purchase your solution (if necessar).
Have you run into any roadblocks in music making/mixing/recording so far? -------------------- |

I'd like to produce stuff that is primarily based off of samples. Hip-hopish but w/ its own flavor.
Haven't really run into road blocks yet, cause I am still saving to get logic pro, but I want to understand what I need and why. |

Basically you will need an audio interface, an external 7200rpm 8Mb cache firewire hard drive. And do not overlook nearfield monitors, not hi-fi or computer speakers. A selection of microphones. Also max out your RAM if you can.
Also look here for some ideas. http://www.tweakheadz.com/guide.htm

hi drewot,
i think the first thing you need is a pair of monitor speakers,and if you have some money left,get an audio interface.if you're not planning on record more than 2 tracks at a time ,then with a 2 in 2 out interface should be ok,there are a few good choices out there,for the type of music you're after,i would recommend an entry level Pro Tools rig,you could get a deal buying an M-Audio interface + M-Powered Pro Tools,which is very easy to use,and an exellent tool for producing/editing. good luck!. |
