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.

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 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

@matthewchurchill1802 7 ай бұрын

Like where I started with nothing I ended up spending $300 on an old MacBook that was plenty powerful enough and $2000 on equipment and instruments. Now saying that you have no computer first, realistically you could possibly only spend $500 on your setup if you were to go for a computer like the 2015 MacBook Pro and either a nektar impact g61 or akai mpk mini 3 depending on if you plan on playing virtual instruments or just sampling. Those two things could cost you around $320-$370 and you still got $180-$130 left to buy at least some speakers from Walmart or Amazon and another $100 to spend on a microphone and a stand with cables.

I started with AudioBox 96 but quickly moved on to scarlett, I think Sanjay has picked a pretty awesome line up - only thing I need to note is some of Izotopes bundled software with some of brands now require a iLok, and not iLok Cloud.

This is a really great budget setup. :) And let's be honest, if you really just want to make some music you don't technically need a microphone or a midi keyboard in the beginning. You can easily start off without and can save some money or spend it on different speakers, audio interface etc.

Absolutely! Those are a nice-to-have later on

You should write the product on the screen when you mention it...a price and a link would help too if you're making a budget studio video

Almost exact, I should say. I went with the Presonus Usb 96 bundle, with the 3.5 monitors.

I would say I have spent close to £700-£800 on home studio both for Production & Vocal. Focus right interface(£90), Microphone(£59), Vocal screen(£81), M-Audio Oxygen Professional Keyboard(£215), monitors(£150). I would say that it is within a medium range for a studio, but I am also building a top notch PC as well which will increase costs as well.

Wow! What specs are you putting into the PC?

@JamesJohnAgar 3 жыл бұрын

@@SanjayC i9 Processor, at least 64gb Ram, 2 1tb SSD's, 1 2tb HDD, just a few specs. I'm thinking due to the amount of plugins/DAW upgrades/OS upgrades I'm thinking the PC will last at least 10yrs so will hopefully pay for it's self.

Hi Sanjay C, I've just discovered your channel and honestly, you're the best! I'd gather so much knowledge just by your videos, and you're very entertaining and pleasing to watch as well. Question here: Do I need both a speaker and a headphone? I'd imagined myself doing all the producing with just a headphone so why is it important to also include a speaker instead of cutting it? Thank you man, have a great day!

@taimoorn5391 3 жыл бұрын

i'd get the speaker, headphones only could lead to ear damage, having speakers is less pressure on your ears

@SanjayC 3 жыл бұрын

Having both is ideal. I always find that I discover different things in my mix when listening with headphones and speakers.

There's an advert video floating around for Deadmaus' masterclass.com EDM class, and he remarks about how little it costs to get started, something like "This is why some teenager in a bedroom can crank out the next great dance hit."
