Hello everyone, i hope i have put this in the right thread

My name is Carl and i am a Prof Singer and Dance teacher. and i am also trying to learn the piano and eventually becoming a singing teacher.

The reason why i have joined this forum is because i want to be able to make a recording studio with my pc and other equipment.

But i dont know where to start.

Eventually i will be opening a proper studio, and having someone else to run it, but i want to know a little about it myslef also

Where should i go first to post about what i need to starts with

for example:

Equipment
PC (what sort of spec)
Software
etc..


Thanks in advance

obviously i am not an expert (evident in my number of posts) but since no one else has posted i may be able to help you start. i have a dell e1505 laptop that i use as my basis of recording. software wise protools is kind of the standard. I use ProTools m powered, it is compatable with most m audio interfaces and is quite easy to use. i know the college i will be going to requires this form of protools from all students. i have a few mikes, some instrument cables, and of course instruments. piano, guitar, amplifiers, etc. Pro tools also comes with an easy basic manual for getting started. i hope this may help you somewhat. Musiciansfriend.com used to offer a package with the software, mic, cables, stands, and interface. great price but i dont know if it is still available. make sure your pc is compatable. good luck.
