1. The must have List of Items for your Next House Music Production Project! Building a home recording and mixing studio can be a massive project for any beginner. For you, it can take months of planning, research, and preparation. But, do not let this fear of planning scare your ambitions away, as getting started is far easier than you might imagine. The Perfect First Studio for Newbies must have all these listed items: A Computer When designing a studio from scratch, the computer can be the most significant expenditure. Ideally, you must have the fastest one you can afford. But, in the beginning, regardless of your budget, it is recommended using what you have for now. A DAW/Audio Interface Combo The DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) is a software used to record, edit, and mix music on a computer. And the Audio Interface is the hardware that connects a computer with the rest of your gear. If you plan to have house music productions Ableton is one of the best options available!

Make sure you the one depending on the instruments you plan to record. Headphones When you’re merely starting, you may spend most of your time on the recording. Thus, you may only really need one pair of headphones that suit your condition and budget in the beginning. Studio Monitors It is a fact that many home studios do their mixing on open-back headphones. Traditionally, mixing is always done on speakers or pro audio: studio monitors, or nearfield monitors. Compared to consumer speakers, designed for tonal “enhancements”, studio monitors have a flatter frequency response, which provides a neutral, uncoloured sound to judge the mix. Choose wisely out of plenty of affordable options for beginners.

2. XLR Cables One day, your studio will have hundreds of metres of different cables, but for now, you only need three—one long XLR cable for your mic, two short ones for your monitors. Before you buy those monitor cables, double-check that your audio interface's stereo output has XLR connectors. A Mic Stand Many beginners may assume that all mic stands are the same. The truth is a solid stand of the most worthwhile investments for a new studio. However, a budgeted, reliable stand is more than adequate to start. Pop Filters You may have seen models in television recording her vocals through some mysterious mesh screen covering her microphone! Well, that’s a pop filter. It is used to filter-out an unpleasant vocal artefact known as “popping”. It is a low-frequency blast of air caused due to pronunciation of “P” and “B” sounds. Being available cheaply, they can help in your music production.
