home recording studio equipment/setup?
Question by pete: home recording studio equipment/setup?
i am trying to setup a home recording studio and i need help figuring out what equipment and sofware i need. (producing beats and recording vocals using windows). ive been doin some reaserch, but im kind of confused. ok, can someone make a list of the basic things i need. so far i just have my lap top and a midi axiom 49 keyboard. what software do i need to record my beats and my vocals? i heard fruity loops can do both, but i was wondering if cubase or any other softwar can also do that? the software is probably the most confusing part for me. other than that and a mic, what else would i need? and an estimate of how much it would seperatly cost me. im a rookie at this and gettin my feet wet in the producing biz for the first time. any music producers out their??, i NEED YOUR HELP. if you can be specific, id really appriciate it,,,, thanks for reading and i hope someone can help me.
p.s. i went to 2 bestbuy stores and non of the employees were able to help me, they said they didnt really know much about it either.

Getum – I don’t know where you live but if there is a Guitar Center near you, that would be your best bet. They have everything and they know recording studio stuff.
All you really need to get started is a USB audio interface::

It comes with recording software (Cubase LE).
