In this video, I show you how to set up a music studio at home for $500. This list has some of my favorite and most recommended gear including an audio interface, microphone, headphones, speakers (studio monitors), keyboard, and software. This music studio is excellent for producers, singers, songwriters, beatmakers, and for hip hop, R&B, trap, EDM, pop, rock, and pretty much every genre. If you're a singer or rapper, you'll love the microphone I've included too! This is the best music studio setup for $500 that I can recommend.

Hi #sanjay c can you make a studeo set up that most suits for metal musicians thanks

@chrischokoe6485 3 года назад

It's great to be an American, back home in Africa it cost amd arm and a leg. $500 is equal to R7 389,48 in South Africa which doesn't even buy a pair of proper studio monitors. You will need around R20 000 which is equivalent to $1353.28 for a decent amount of money for a budget studio.

I started out with a Lexicon Alpha audio interface and Waveform 11 free DAW. I recommend Waveform 11 to any beginner artists/producers because it's free with plenty of killer features and it helped me understand the basics of music production. You can still make amazing music with cheap gear. It's about how you use the gear rather than what that gear is. Use it to your advantage
