For anyone involved in music production, from composers to arrangers, performers, instrumentalists, bands, even producers and dj’s the home music recording can be the best way to go. It can be a simple process. Whatever your genre, you can try music recording at home. But admittedly, it’s stressful to set up your own recording studio at home.

You have to make sure that if you want to record from home that you invest in good equipment and set up your studio properly. There are many websites online that can be really helpful in informing you on what sort of equipment you need for your studio.

There are many ways to establish a home music recording studio.

First, you need a way to record your sound. This gadget must be able to mix music as well. Then you need a way to store the data in a CD or a flash card.

You must be able to transfer the data effortlessly so it’s accessible to you when you need it. This method is good if you create your own live music.

Next, your laptop must be able to record the music directly. All you have to do is buy and install a simple recording software and an audio interface onto your computer. You can use this sort of software with real instruments in your studio, or you can set it up to upload pre-recorded music and mix it with music beats that you create online.

Your skills and budget will play a big role in deciding which method is best for your home music recording. Everything in home music recording depends on your personal style.

There are many things that you need to consider when you are ready to upgrade the set up in your home music recording studio. You are going to have to increase your studio’s acousting capability. Does your sound keep bugging the neighbors? Do you create music all night? Your goal is to create a studio that caters to your way of life. I suggest that you start out small, with a simple set up and build on it as your needs grow and your skills grow.

I love Hip Hop, and I like creating my own Hip-Hop music. Care to try it yourself? Well, if you want to do it you have to learn it first, right? Your first move would be beat making. What am I talking about? Read this:

What is “making beat”, anyway? It means creating the beat of your song, which is actually the song itself without the vocals. The simplest beat is 8 bars, repeated over and over again for as long as the song lasts.

In the core of the song is the drum beat. You are able to use audio loops or MIDI drum patterns to create the drum groove. Most sequencers come with audio loop samples which can be edited further. You can stretch them, compress them, add effects, whatever you need to make your track sound cool. Another tool is the MIDI, in which each drum sample is edited alone. More complicated yet more flexible and rewarding. If you want, spice up your beat with recordings of hand claps and finger snaps. You can also combine audio loops with MIDI drum patterns. You should also look for royalty-free loop samples CDs. There are plenty online. Don’t be shy — plenty of high profile producers use them as well. You may play it as you like, just remember that the drum track dictates the rhythm and general feel of your song. So make sure you like it.

The bassline comes next. The low, deep bass will compliment the groove you’ve created. Sort through samples from MIDI or audio loops and choose the best option. The bassline must be repeatable and simple.

Orchestration, next on the list, is my favorite step. Your beat is supported by musical elements and instruments. How to come up with the right orchestration? It depends on the desired atmosphere of your music. A smoky jazz room? A cold rainy night? A club? The mood will dictate the accompanying instruments. Naturally, it’s important that the orchestration fit well into your basic beat.

And then come the dubs and snips: these are bits taken from pre-recorded music and incorporated into yours. Used properly, dubs and snips will add much character to your beat. The downside of dubs is paying royalties, in case you use other people’s work. For those of you who wish to avoid spending money, there are plenty of royalty free samples out there. In addition, you can use your own original music. Using unauthorized samples isn’t advisable: law suits can follow!

And there you have it: your beat is ready! You’ll have to repeat it a few times to cover the entire song. Effects like reverb, delay or compression can be incorporated into the beat’s repeats.
