Music Productions Tools Before You Set-up Your Studio


There are a couple of critical Things You must Know Before You Set-up Your music Studio.  Understanding Which Equipment and Software to buy will save you time and money in the long run.  Here's a couple of tips.

Know Your Strengths

Most newbies make the fatal mistake of buying production equipment base on what others have.  However I would Caution You to Start With Your strengths.  if your good with drum machines start with one.  If your good at playing the piano use your talent.  There is no use for a 88 key keyboard if you cant play a chord.  Stick to your Strengths

Which Computer To Buy to make beats

My best advice when choosing a computerfor your Music Studio is to stay away from brand names like, Dell, IBM, Emachines and Compaq.  These manufactuer have a proprietary computer board.  In a nut shell the're hard to upgrade.  Adding a high-end soundcard or mixing console will be a problem later.  Use brands like Sony, Alienware or a custom built computer will work well. Use the same advice for laptops. 

Also Stay way from computers with cheap processors. Intel Celerons and AMD Semprons will glitch on Audio Playback.  Stick to Petium 4 or higher for good results

Which Music production Software to Use

which Music production Software depends on your level of experience.  Heres what I suggest. 

  • Beginners

Sony Acid - The easiest music production program for starters.  Allows you to virtually paint a beat together

  • Intermediate

Fl Studio - the software is very popular. i would recomende it for those who understand MIDI and Sequencers only

  • Advanced

Reason 4.0 - This program is tough to learn but will open a world of new options when mastered
