Everything A Music Producer Needs

  1. Computer: In music production, professionals usually recommend a decent computer. Digital Audio Workstation software exists for all major operating systems including free ones like Linux distros, so your focus should be on having up-to-date hardware.
  2. Pre-amp: A microphone preamp serves the purpose of amplifying the microphone’s signal to line level.
  3. Audio Interface: An audio interface acts as the bridge between your analog audio sources and your digital recording setup, enhancing both the quality and functionality of your music production process.
  4. Studio Monitors: Speakers designed for accurate sound reproduction, essential for mixing.
  5.  Headphones: There are 2 types; Closed-back Headphones which are good for tracking and recording. And Open-back Headphones which are better for mixing due to a more natural sound.
  6. XLR Cables: These are used to connect microphones to audio interfaces and offer a higher quality than traditional 3.5mm cables.
  7. External Hard Drive: Because audio production takes a lot of space to make, one or more extra hard drives are recommended. Regular backups are highly recommended in production.
  8. Audio Mixer: These are used to control audio levels and effects for multiple audio sources.
  9. MIDI Instruments: MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and these types of instruments provide the best quality and ease of use when working with digital audio workstations. Typically people think of keyboards, but they come in the forms of guitars, violins, drum pads, upright bass and others.
