BASIC DIGITAL MUSIC PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT
Digital music production requires equipment that can be broadly categorized as input, processing and output equipment. The input equipment receives sound from the studio and transfers it to the recorder which saves the sound. The various sounds received are then mixed together by a mixer which is a processing equipment to give an output which can be evaluated using a digital speaker. Speakers can be said to be output equipment.
To start, someone who intends to go into professional music recording should have some kind of multi-track recorder. Multi-track recorders are either analog or digital. Nevertheless, the analog tape recorders are usually the cheapest recorders. The recently popular multi-track recorder is the one that uses a hard drive. This type of multi-tracker recorder is based on a computer hard drive that you can save your music and channel configuration on. Depending on the brand of the digital multi-track recorder the size of the hard drive varies and so does the amount of information that you can save on it. In addition, some hard drives can also be upgraded to have more memory.
Before you start recording you need to get the sound to the recorder from the source. A microphone is a basic and most common way to do so. Quality of sound is one thing but the second one is consistency which is also important. Consistency has to do with the perception of sound as well as for the eventual usage of the sound. Moving on to other things you will need to record music, is to have a way to listen to what is being recorded in the studio. These types of studio speakers are referred to as studio monitors or reference monitors. These speakers are specially designed for music production and are very accurate. They are made to give out highly detailed overall sound without focusing on a particular frequency.
