To be clear, I’m assuming that you already have a decent PC or Mac and the instruments you need to record. If you’ve got $1,500 to spend, you can have some real fun building a home studio. Pretty simple right? With this gear, you can make some pretty great demos. 1 mic stand (Musician's Gear Tripod Mic Stand, $35).
But this is your best bang-to-buck ratio. And it sound pretty darn good!Īre there microphones that sound better? Yes. I have recorded drums, vocals, room sounds, strings, acoustic guitars and more with it. This was my first mic, and it has served me very well. 1 large diaphragm condensor microphone (Audio-Technica AT2035 large diaphragm studio condenser microphone bundle with shock mount, pop filter, and XLR cable, $150)Īll of the above items can be purchased for $150 in a killer package from Audio-Technica.One set of headphones (Audio-Technica ATH-M20x, $49).That way you can record in stereo from keyboards and record more than one thing at a time. I would always recommend getting a two-input interface (or more). This way you get a great interface and you can just use GarageBand, which is sufficient for most recording needs. If you have a Mac, I would recommend a Scarlett 2i2 for your audio interface, which costs $175.

That being said, if you have a PC or a Mac, I would strongly recommend a piece of free or low-cost software such as GarageBand or Reaper. Even a cheaper Chromebook that has to be used via Chrome can use an internet recording service like UJAM or Audiotool.
Pretty much everyone has an instrument and some sort of computer. But that’s not to say you can’t make it work! For the purposes of this budget, I am going to assume that you: a) have a computer, and b) have all the instruments you require. I’m not going to lie, if you only have $500 to spend, you’re going to be pretty limited in what you can do.
