How to Create Your Own Home Studio

Home studios are great. They allow us to play producer, singer and recording artist. They enable us to record (hopefully) pretty good quality music that we can share with others, and maybe make some money from. They can be addictively fun, incredibly frustrating, and consume all of our spare time and money. And they're all different. Home studios vary as much as our interests, budget and available time vary.

Some studios are totally digital. The music is put together from loops and samples, or recorded from electronic keyboards. The focus is on the gear - especially the computers, software and peripherals. Acoustics and noise from the outside world aren't an issue.
