In
ancient times, to be able to perform sound recordings is not easy. But
now, music recording became very easy to do, even at home or in your
room. Studio recording can be formed by using a computer in your home,
or sometimes it called computer based home recording.
It's easy right? Here I will try to explain to you who still lay about
how to fundamentally alter a computer to be able to become a recording
studio.
Broadly
speaking, you can create a recording studio in your bedroom (or we call
it Home Recording), only with the equipments as following:
- PC (Personal Computer)
- Musical Instruments
- AD / DA Converter
- Monitor Speakers
The fourth tool is mounted with the circuit or connection as shown below:
- PC (Personal Computer)
Personal Computer is a set of
computing devices (CPU, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse). This PC must also
have installed the software for the sake of music, such as software DAW
(Digital Audio Workstation), waveform audio editor software, and so
forth. Examples for this kind of music software are numerous, including:
Pro Tools, Motu Digital Performer, Cakewalk Sonar, Nuendo, Wavelab,
Sound Forge, and others.
- Music Instrument
Musical instruments you need
of course is a musical instrument that has an audio output, such as
keyboards, electric guitars, bass, and microphone. If you have an
instrument that does not have audio output (eg, acoustic guitars, drums,
etc.) then you can use the microphone as the output from the acoustic
instrument. This instrument will be connected to the AD / DA Converter.
- AD / DA Converter
AD / DA Converter is an
abbreviation for Analog to Digital / Digital to Analog Converter. The
function of this tool is to translate the sound of your instrument that
is an analog to be accepted by your computer digitally. Sound-card on
your computer can also be classified as an AD / DA Converter. But for
the sake of recording, usually used in the AD / DA Converter higher
quality external and indeed made specifically for recording purposes. AD
/ DA converter is connected with the external to your computer via a
USB connection or Fire-wire connection. While the AD / DA Converter is
usually mounted on the internal PCI slot on the computer motherboard. In
addition to connecting to the computer, the AD / DA converter is also
connected to the monitor speakers as the output end.
- Monitor Speaker
Monitor speakers are the
speakers mounted on the end of the circuit, to monitor during recording,
or even to hear the results of the recording. Monitor speakers used in
home recording is usually not the normal speakers (Hi-Fi). Monitor
speakers are recommended for home recording is flat speakers, where
there is no manipulation on the speakers, so what sounds really close to
the actual sound (original sound).
If
you already have the tools that can be used to make a home recording,
then you seemed to have his own recording studio in your house.
