HOW TO: Setup a Home Music Studio for Beginners (2024)

Hey Guys!! If you enjoyed this video, please don't hesitate to SUBSCRIBE for future content. Let's get to 300K subs!! 💪🏻

I’m a teen guy and I’ve made rap music on my phone and wrote lyrics my family is moving to a new house and I’m finally going to have my own room I’m planning on making my own room recording studio so this helps a lot thank you 🙏🏽

Something to add would be a good chair. You're going to be sitting anywhere from 1 to 10+ hours, a cheap office or gaming chair will cause you so much back pain that it will be unbearable. A good office chair is something you won't notice until it's time to stand up and you're not hunched over like a 90 year old construction worker.

Scored my first producer job after watching videos like this for 6 years, no college degree just passion and work ethic. If you want it bad enough you’ll find a way, so yeah life 🐝 good!

3 things. Never use beats by dre in the studio. Dont sit monitors on the table with the computer without isolation under the monitors. Otherwise, it will vibrate and can damage the hard drive's disks. For cheap sound isolation, moving blankets and bed topper foam works great. Have fun and be creative Champs🏆

If I could label it as the “perfect video for beginners”, I would. Always wanted to learn about music production and videos like these are really the “make or break” for amateurs like me. Something goes wrong and you just lose interest in what you were set to do. A great stepping stone. Thanks.

One highly important point to mention about condensor mics, is NEVER plug them in when the phantom power is switched on, and NEVER disconnect when this power is still on. Always plug in and then turn on the phantom power and allow a minute or two for the mic to warm up. Before disconnecting always turn off phantom power first. It only takes one bad connect/disconnect to trash your expensive microphone.

I have been trying to set this up for my son for hobby purposes for 2 years. So many things learned through trial and error, research and frustration. Where was this video two years ago! Excellent info

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I am ten years old and this is probably the best video i have ever watched. i really want to be a musician when im older and this a really good starting point for me

A really tight budget is me right now using Garage Band on my phone and a pair of wired headphones 🤣🤣

Brother I subscribed . I won BBC xtra awards 2018 and started out exactly like that .you have the whole world in a nutshell that way to start and can upgrade on software and plug ins after that . I literally went on till my laptop crashed on the CPU use and open a new studio soon in Miami but this time much bigger as my song gave me good revenue.. thanks to winning BBC xtra awards with big collaborations coming soon .so I invest in better now . To all producers and recording studio lovers high five cheers Ax .

9:47 you need two studio monitors tho. so that's not the price, it's actually twice compared to that. so the kali is $400, adam is $500, & the Yamaha HS8 is $700.

QUICK TIP FOR BUYING MICROPHONES: If you’re on a strict budget you’ll likely get a lot more for your money going for a Dynamic microphone rather than a Condenser microphone at the same price. The SM58 & AT2020 are roughly the same price but I believe you get a lot more in terms of versatility, sound quality and durability going with the SM58. The 55SH series ii is also an excellent budget microphone that won’t require replacing any time soon. (You will still need a audio interface for it to work)

Another aspect may be this one: when you're a beginner you may want to experiment with certain things before spending a lot of money on software. There (still) is a lot a freeware on the web. However, this most often is 32 bits. The quality can be very good. But when your DAW only supports 64 bits this will rob you of this change to try all kinds of software to get skilled or make up your mind about it. Sometimes/often quality of freeware may be not so good, but when you want to try out sleigh bells, tubular bells etc. it may matter.

Thanks man, you gave me everything I needed❤

Reaper guy here! If ur a simpleton..like me..this is the best out there with ease of use plus all the bells and whistles of a the big guns e.g. pt..ableton etc.

DAW = Reaper! The best low budget option to use! (In my opinion, of course)

Awesome video - well done !!! ... one of you best yet!

I’ve been recording at home for a few years using a desktop and two dell monitors. Presonus USB 2x2 and relatively cheap headphones and monitors. Works ok and I’ve enjoyed it. After some experience, I’m still an old guy beginner, I’ve learned that quality gear makes a huge difference!! Next month I’m revamping my set up with a MacBook Pro, some really good headphones and monitors, condenser mic and stepping up to studio one professional. Can’t wait! Thanks for the video, gave me some ideas. The comments are great as well! I have plenty of moving blankets and the foam bed top for sound deadening the room is brilliant!! Thanks again!

I'm already a drummer,all I want these equipments to fit my bed room with sound proof materials so I cannot disturb my family members and neighbours as well."perfect video for beginners",thanks a lot for your kind advice.
