Six equipment pieces you need for a home studio setup

In this day and age, anyone can just release their own music on the Internet. This allows audiences to enjoy a plethora of good music for free. A home studio setup is not as elaborate as a professional music studio. However, it should have all the goods that would permit one to make the best music from home.

A computer is an incredibly important equipment piece a producer needs both at home and in professional setup, says DJ-producer Haidak. Having a fast and reliable computer with a rich storage provides for easy processing and mixing of audio signals that will come from an audio interface or mixer. An audio interface allows a producer to record analog audio signals and translate them into digital ones that a computer understands and is able to separate. Mixers give more control for live sessions as these mix audio signals coming from different channels as a single track.

A good DAW or digital audio workstation allows a producer to edit and mix the signals the computer receives through an audio interface or mixer. Before purchasing and downloading a DAW, be sure that it is compatible with your computer. According to Haidak, invest in a quality studio microphone. Lousy microphones will detect noise that can be a job to edit out.

A pair of professional headphones or in-ear monitors will give you the correct audio impression of what is being recorded. It enhances one’s hearing and can make their music production experience a total delight. Cables are integral in the studio, whether these are XLR cables, 3.5mm jacks, or USB cables.

Haidak is a DJ-producer gaining recognition in the global music industry. The electronic musician has taken the decks in venues across the world. These days, he is showcasing his own sound that covers a wide spectrum from heavy driving techno on one end to a more melodic and nuanced sound at the other end. Read more from Haidak on this blog.
