With a few simple Home Recording Techniques budding musicians all over the world are having success far beyond what we could have ever expected in the past, and a few of the lucky ones are even hitting the big time on sites like MySpace and YouTube and building a great income from their home recordings.

The goal here is to prove that the main thing is recording good music and getting that music into an MP3 building a Home Recording Studio. Building a Home Recording Studio is really not a problem these days. If you have no idea how to build and work in a home studio then this guide is going to get you started in the best possible way.

Choose your Home Studio Tools. – There is only one choice for me.  After lots of boring research, I found the most cost effective way to get started is with an Mbox which comes with a free version of Pro Tools. (Pro Tools is the engine of any good home studio, this is where all the music comes together and can be easily edited and made into the final product!)

Kill the Sound Leakage – Choose the right place to put you super loud home studio. If you are going to record a full band you really need to book a day off work. The law says you can make as much noise as you like during the day. This will save you a lot of arguing…

You should take some steps to killing the sound leakage in your home studio. You could spend a lot of money turning your loft into this starship enterprise, but the point of this is to get recording cheaply so take a few soundproofing steps.

Microphones are the most important thing – Picking the wrong microphone means your recording will fall flat. The best idea, if you are doing a full band recording, is to hire a good set of mics just for the day. This will save you some cash and produce a much better sound.

Just do the Recording – Press record. Many people plan and plan their tracks and talk about how great they’re going to be, but these people never seem to produce much music. Your first track will stink, but from that moment on you’ll be on the path to some great sounds.

Promote yourself- The best way to do this right now is Facebook pages. This is the best way to get your music out to the public because it has all the great features of Twitter and much more.

So there you have my five simple steps to setting up your home studio. You will need to spend around $550 dollars up front, but this is nothing when you think that a few years ago it would have been $10,000 minimum!
