    From the mobile music producer to the home based musicians, singers and artists, we all have our own stipulations and needs when it comes to how to build a home studio. In this annual video I am reviewing all of the music gear and equipment I personally use and recommend in my bedroom studio setup in order to begin your journey as an artist recording out of their home. Since we all have our own paths, journeys, and requirements I've decided to list all of the studio equipment I feel is vital to the starting of your process as well as the pricing so you can personally decide what you need and what you don't. While some of these items are more important than others overall, there are some things on this list you may or may not need depending on your particular path and what you are wanting to accomplish in your career. And so to answer the question "What music gear do you actually need?" here is my advice...!

    I had no idea you can run GarageBand on the phone...that's really good to know !! I love your positive energy and the way you're covering all these things especially from a traveling/mobile musician's perspective vs. home studio. I am totally in your camp, MAC BOOK PRO computers are great...yes invest in RAM. I used to work for Apple a few years ago (non-Engineering) and a friend of mine (Mike) I met while riding the bus to Apple designed certain aspects of the MAC Book Pro motherboard...so I am sure he would appreciate what you're saying...I don't buy Windows computers anymore and I only buy Apple because of their quality....though I do have friends who work at Microsoft too. I do run Office365 and am a big SharePoint fan....so both companies offer me something.

      Lol you are many many years late my friend. I've been using it for at least 5 years. I'm glad those who work there and/or design the parts would appreciate what I'm saying. It's all speculation from my personal experience but the confirmation is awesome. They do definitely offer something unique.

      Honestly YES because one of the silver hard drives on my desk is an old seagate that I lost my entire life on when it randomly died. Western Digital as well 😒 this is why I try to use ONLY SSD when I can but in those in between stages when I have like way too many files and not enough storage on an SSD I turn to the traditional HDDs just to hold me off and store my stuff until I can get a larger capacity SSD. I really wanna get my hands on a 8TB cuz I have so much crap to store but that thing is worth almost as much as my MacBook 😂😂🤣 your boy gotta put in some WORK!

      @IAMLXGEND  4 роки тому +1

      This video was made prior to the newer models. They are OK. But still not the greatest. I honestly would prefer to get an iPad Pro over an Air. Or a 13 inch MacBook Pro. You can get started on an Air but once you start having plugin intensive projects or need to add some more effects to your stuff your machine will start to slow down. You don’t have very much head room. Especially if it’s just Quad Core and 8GB RAM.

    • @IAMLXGEND

      Not necessarily a downfall but you're gonna be extremely limited in what all you can do. If you keep your projects really simple, not many plugins or VSTs and effects you should be kind of ok...but I personally would upgrade if I were you.

      I dont believe theres a way to do it for the solo, the only thing I can say is to get a headphone splitter, one pair of headphones for you to monitor and one for tracking the artist or whomever it is that's going to be recording, and unplug your studio monitors until the time comes for you to mix out loud or reference. Hope that I've helped.

    I’m looking at midi keyboards and considering something smalllll, 25 or maybe 49 keys max. I’m a designer, music is purely for fun, so I need my studio to be able to not get in the way too much of my workspace.
    Do you think I’ll regret not having more than 25 keys? Also if I go ultra portable, what’s your recommendation? That hidden cord wrap feature is dope.

    • @IAMLXGEND

      Get a Komplete Kontrol M32 like I have. It’s a good balance between having more than 25 keys and portability. Because it’s actually smaller than most full key size 25 key controllers.

      @IAMLXGEND  4 роки тому

      in my experience the companies have gotten so good and emulating, the difference is negligible. Of course hardware will sound the best but by how much of a margin... it’s very minute. And yea some do prefer the hands on feel. I’m not one of those people because I’ve never owned hardware aside from a single preamp which never messed with once I set it once. So everything I’ve ever done was through a screen.

      If not, there’s not really a good way to get good vocals. They’re always going to sound like they’re recorded on a mobile device. Tube sounding and very trebly. There’s no way around that. Not even EQ can take that out. It can help but it will still not sound the best.
