The Hottest Recording Equipment for Artists:
Going to big time studios can cost you a fortune which you don’t have. Not to mention that you don’t need to record in big studios anymore. The new recording equipment is so affordable that anyone can save up a little money and make their own personal studio. The only time you may want to record at a big studio is when you have a connection there to get a discount. For new age recording artists, all you have to do is save up some money and invest in your own equipment!
One of the most important pieces of equipment in your studio is monitors. Monitors are so important because they let you hear your music the way you recorded it. If you listen to your recorded songs on any regular speaker, you won’t hear how it really sounds. That is because regular speakers are made to make your music sound good no matter what.
Studio monitors will not lie to you by making your recordings sound better than it really is. They are designed to sound flat which will help you to mix your song to its full potential.
Monitors range in price, quality, sizes and brands. To get a really decent pair of monitors, you are looking to spend around $300 each.
The second most important piece of equipment is your microphone. There are 2 types of microphones used but you only need to work with condenser microphones. The microphone you need will really depend on your surroundings. The size of your studio and work area will determine which microphone is best for you.
Decent microphones will cost you around $100 depending on the brand. Don’t go too cheap on your microphone because it’s still very important to have a quality microphone.
