Creating your own audio studio has ne'er
been easier. There are so galore great products about now that wish allow you to produce high quality audio for a fraction of the cost it used to cost.
HARDWARE
The 1st thing you wish need is a compatible computer. Now every new computer is already set up with everything you wish need. A basic sound card with a mic and line in jack. If you do not have a sound card they are really cheap and you can get a nice one from any standard computer shop.
Next you wish need a nice mic. These come in all sizes and shapes with several configurations however a general all round mic like the Logitech Noise-canceling mike is fine for beginners. I suggest you get a table
top one to start with as you may want to come into video later and so you wont want a telephone receiver in your videos.
Of course you could go up a stage and get a preamp with a professional mic but this wish start running into dollars and the whole aim of this article ids to help you get started.
Next you wish want to get several cables to connect up your tape recorder and another audio equipment. Once once again the computer stores now have packs that wish connect up pretty well any device into your computer to digitalize your sound.
SOFTWARE - RECORDING
Recording your audio is probably one of the most critical parts of this process and once again you can get software system that ranges from free to galore thousands of dollars. For this exercise I suggest you transfer
the free copy of Audacity. This is an first-class software system package that wish allow you to record from your mic or any instrumentality you have.
It provides first-class redaction capabilities and besides wish allow you to edit multiple tracks and then combine them into one single track. For a wuick summary
of how to do this you can watch this video.

SOFTWARE - CONVERTING
The next piece of software system you wish need for your studio is a converting program that wish allow you to convert several formats. For example you may have a real audio file and you want to convert it to mp3. dBpoweramp is like the swiss army
knife for the audio industry and wish convert simply just about any file to any another file format.

SOFTWARE - REDUCTION
If you are going to stream an mp3 direct then you may want to recompile the file to a smaller format. RazorLame is a so-called "front-end" for use with LAME. LAME is a great MP3-Encoder: it's really fast, it produces high-quality files, has galore advanced features (like Variable Bitrates and Joint-Stereo), and it's open source. Unfortunately, it is a command line utility, and that is wherever
RazorLame comes in: It provides an easy-to-use graphical user-interface which does MP3-encoding even as easier!
The better way to use this software system is to get one file and compile in a number of several formats to test the size against quality. Really similar to working with graphics.
