Recording Hardware For Your DIY Recording Studio

Here are some things you should have if you are planning to spend some time in your recording studio.

Built-in microphone. For those amateurs or for those who are recording demos, you don't have to go overboard on your budget. Your PC's integrated mic can be a shockingly useful recording device and could put in a special character to your audio.



USB mic. Those who are after some higher quality audio should want to own a USB microphone. But, you have to choose correctly which brand to get as you can regret your purchase later. Look for something that is basically built for music recording.

The Blue Microphones Yeti is one of the most popular USB microphones out there. It is a large-diaphragm condenser mic, a kind of mic that is suitable for a wide variety of recording needs. This microphone also is a multi-pattern microphone. The mic's pattern will tell you regarding how the mic accepts or rejects sounds from various directions. Even if large-diaphragm condenser microphones are already flexible, multi-pattern mics are even more adaptable. This is because of the pick-up patterns that can be selected by the user, which makes these microphones suitable to plenty of applications.

USB Mixer. You should also think of buying a small desktop mixer when you want to go more daring. Mixers that have USB-outputs can be analog-to-digital interfaces, which also means that you can use conventional microphone in your recording sessions. This significantly increases your microphone choices, although you also run the risk of destroying your budget.

Also, you should buy a microphone aside from your USB mixer. A large-diaphragm condenser mic would be a great choice to start with.
