Joe Pecora, the engineer and producer at Red Room Studio, says your set up "could be as simple as an iPhone/iPad with Garage band." (I know someone who recorded an entire album this way.) While he agrees that the most important part is your computer, he argues it doesn't have to be super powerful. used or at reasonable price points."īut, truthfully, you can do quite a lot with whatever computer you have on hand. He suggests you "spend the money on a good computer and get other gear - such as audio interfaces, mics, headphones, etc.
Justin DeLay, Director of Product and Category Marketing at Reverb, drives home just how important the computer is: "You can strip away everything else and as long as you have a computer you can still create music," he told me. But the first thing you'll need is probably staring you right in the face: a computer. Well, an audio interface, a good mic and a decent set of headphones will get you pretty far. And maybe, you're not quite sure where to start. Maybe you've even been inspired to build your own home recording studio.
But this weekend, Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas proved that the cultural institutions that have dominated popular music for so long can no longer ignore the bedroom producer or budding Soundcloud star. (The $2,000-ish audio interface being an obvious exception.) It's not news that the tools of creation or the avenues for distributing art are accessible to more people than ever. Instead a brother and sister duo recorded them in a bedroom at their parents' house, primarily using tools available to the average hobbyist.
By now, you've no doubt heard that the Grammy-winning song of the year and record of the year were not recorded in some giant studio loaded with over-priced, pro-grade gear.
