How To Build A Recording Studio Page Two.

So you've already got that computer? What you need now is some recording software. Some recording software work only on Mac computers, some work only on PCs, while some will work on either. So in this discussion of how to build a recording studio we shall take a look at a few popular pieces of recording studio software, as well as the platforms they work on.

To continue answering your question on how to build a recording studio, I'd say that the next thing you require would have to be a conventional sound card or audio interface, as well as a MIDI interface. (More and more musicians are choosing audio interfaces instead of standard soundcards.) Forget about the sound card that your computer came with. When it comes to recording, it is not professional and just won't do. The audio interface replaces your sound card and takes care of all of the computer's audio functions.

I guess it all depends on what you want to accomplish with your recording studio. If it's a small recording or writing studio where only a few tracks are recorded at a time, even a USB 2in/2out audio interface will do. But for more complex projects like recording a full band, you need something more elaborate. On desktop computers you would need a PCI card installation. Or you may have to use a Firewire USB 2.0 device.
