If you are a music fan like me, you have that hidden dream of recording your voice on a song. But in order to do that, you need to build a recording studio. If you plan to make your own recording studio you should know that it's not an easy job. The Internet is packed with information, but it's really hard to filter everything , to spot the perfect equipment for you, to find those good recommendations. That's why I'm going to do that for you, and recommend the ultimate recording setup that will help you get started in your music venture. When I've created this setup I started from the premise that you are on a low budget.
* A PC/Laptop - If you read this post, you probably own a laptop or a PC. An i3 or i5 laptop is great for this setup, but a dual-core will also work just fine
* A good condenser mic - There are so many options in this field, but the winner is Rode NT2a
* An audio interface - Most folks will recommend M-Audio products, but I have something else in mind: Focusrite Saffire 6 USB
* A mic stand, pop filter, cables, acoustic foam
* A recording software - I recommend Cubase, but you can also go for a free software (Audacity).
The alternative
If you think that all these items are to expensive for your budget, you can always buy the simpler version: a good USB condenser mic. Yeti USB is a good choice.
