I songwriter and I use Pro Tools with an M-Box2 interface. I can use or create a drum track with either Pro Tools or one of my two keyboards and then I can add a rhythm guitar track, and a bass track and I have the foundation for the song. Then I just need to be a little creative and add a guitar or keyboard lead part and sing any vocals that are required and then mix and master that recording and I have a broadcast quality recording that I can sell at Amazon, iTunes, CD Baby, or Tunecore. You can even get that recording played on local radio stations and sold locally in record stores and coffee shops. The only thing you might want to add to that setup is you sing, would be a BOSS VE-20 Vocal processor. It really makes the vocals sound a whole lot better.

look for audio interfaces or DAW’s (digital audio workstation) on sites like guitarcenter.com, musiciansfriend.com, or sweetwater.com. that will help get you an idea for what you are looking for.

when choosing an interface you want to look at the software it comes with. i prefer protools which is industry standard. it comes with the mbox line of interfaces which will cost a few hundred more than most other brands. using other software besides protools wont make too much of a difference. there are other good programs, and they all basically run the same just different bells and whistles. besides the software, you will need to know what kind of inputs you need. if you have a keyboard or MIDI insturment, you will need to make sure you have an input for it. for mic and instrument inputs you need to decide what how you want to record. you can multi-track (recording all instruments together) or recording individually and mixing them together. when it comes to this i say to look first at how you intend to record the drums. i would use no less than 4 mics on a drum kit. i think a good set up would be better around 8, but budget and mic acess may play a part in keeping you from doing it this way. once you know what you will need for mics, then think about your guitars and vocals. you will need inputs for all of that. if you can’t afford to get a lot of inputs you can record the drums, and then record the guitars and bass, and then add the vocals at the end. this way you can conserve on the inputs. keep in mind that some bands have a lot of trouble playing individually and can’t keep time without the drum or bass.

next you need microphones. i suggest spending more than you originally planned on mics. because they capture the sound, they are your most important pieces. for guitars and drums i would suggest picking up some Shure SM-57’s. they are staple pieces in all studios and have been for a long time. they’re great on the guitar and snare, and pretty good on almost everything else. they sell for around $100 i believe. next pick up a good condenser mic for vocals. i really like the Rode NT1a. it sells for about $240 and sounds beautiful on metal vocals on the kick i really like the yamaha subkick mic. i believe its around $5-600 but it puts some good kick in your mix. aside from that you may look into drum mic packages. the sites i mentioned will probably have some deals.

also check those websites for studio packages. a lot of times you can find a good deal on something that will contain everything you need to get started including mics, cable, interface, computer, monitors…etc. check pawn shops, an ebay and you may find some good deals on gear. also be sure to read reviews to hear other peoples experience. it sucks spending a lot of money on something that isn’t as good as it was packaged to be.
