    I show you how to build a home music studio for under $350 - including the computer! I show you each piece of gear and software you’ll need including the computer, audio interface, monitors (speakers), keyboard, and microphone. I also show you how these things work together. In addition to this, I’ll give you advice on purchasing gear when you’re ready to upgrade. This setup works for Ableton Live, FL Studio, Reason, Cakewalk, Reaper, and more. And will run all the latest plugins instruments and effects. If you’re in trying to setup a home studio for yourself, you don’t need a lot to start producing music. A home music studio these days is very inexpensive and the results are excellent. If you’re interested in learning more about my setup, please check out the other videos on my channel.

      Toni Silvers you dont need any of this except for the laptop. Just spend more money on the laptop and some cheep headphones. First year is just getting used to the daw anyways. Upgrade after that. But dont waste money on a cheep latop that will make producing frustrating.

    I started with a laptop that belonged to my mom to complete school work for her students (she’s a teacher). The laptop had 4GB of ram. The laptop crashed FL Studio so many times, but that’s what I had, that’s what I used at the moment.
    I now am happy to have a 16GB Ram MacBook Pro 2018, i7 processor with a 1TB internal SSD. It took me years to be able to upgrade. So to all those that say that they can’t make music because of bad gear.... If you really want to make music, you make music with what you have and then upgrade as you go.

      good gear helps cut the frustration. especially a good and fast processor with no latency.....also a solid DAW. the free ones are ok but can be frustrating. Also if you want to cut frustration WAY down - dump the PC and move to the MAC environment. NO CRASH, no "reinstalling all the s/w" every year....or months.

    Love this! Just subscribed! My recording computer's a Lenovo Thinkpad x230T (Windows 10, 8 GB RAM). I got it about 2 years ago for very cheap. These computers are cheap, easy to repair/upgrade, tough, and stable. Most of my rig would be considered "budget", but it's served me well. I've even had a couple songs on network tv, that I've recorded, mixed, and mastered in my living room on maybe $600 worth of gear (not counting my guitars). The entry price-point to home recording is lower than ever and I hope more people looking to get into it watch this video.

    I use a T430 for my portable setup and it does the job really well. One thing I will say is in Ableton after adding some heavier effects (Soundtoys, iZotope) it will cut out (as expected). However, within this DAW you can freeze tracks which can help a lot with this! Also almost everything is upgradable from the RAM, storage, display, and CPU. Another option I would recommend looking at is the T440P or the T480 if you have extra cash (but make sure you have good gear surrounding it before this kind of upgrade). Keep making the music you love!

    All true, however a computer with only 4GB will struggle with a project with many audio tracks and plug-ins running in real time. More powerful computer and an external drive would help greatly.

      And I like ableton live as much as fl studio.
      Because I want to learn many DAWs such fl,live,pro tools,bandlab.
      If you make a series of ableton live tutorials in 10 mins time covering each section of live such as arranging workflow and tools to arrange,session view's looping workflow,using fx,importing,exporting,

      What you want to look at in general is retired "business class" laptops. The Thinkpad T430 in the video is one of them, and they can also come with i7s or 8-16GB of ram or be easily upgraded to them. Theres other models like the 15 inch T530, the smaller X230, or newer ones like T440 and T450 and up. Dell has business laptops with pretty equivalent specs too, such as Latitude E6430. If you are fine with a desktop rather than a laptop, Dell Optiplex beefier than those laptops can also be found dirt cheap. Check out school auctions and stuff around you, these machines (laptops and desktops) get thrown out by the pallet when they upgrade their computer labs, that is why they are so cheap in general. Govdeals dot com is a good place to look, then craigslist, then finally ebay. As for what CPU gen - third (Ivy Bridge) or fourth gen (Haswell) Intel i5 or i7 or newer is what you want. Dont go with 2nd gen (Sandy Bridge) or older.
