Home Studio's

[Diablo]

I've been messing around with various bits of software/effects unit's/samplers/keyboards etc for while now, basically i'm after an opinion here

 

Can you really make decent tunes with a make shift home studio?

[Pulsar]

I beleive you can make decent music on software only, but hardware always seems to sound better. Depends how much u spend on your home studio really doesn't it!

Well, a very big band on the EBM scene (VNV Nation) recorded the entirity of the last album just using computers, no outboard.

 

As long as you know how to use whatever it s you are using, then it is just a case of "whatever works for you"

Yes, but at what cost? Some of us struggle to save even £100 a month towards equipment

I would like to thank my ever-understanding bank manager, Ian. I'd also like to thank my 2 most loyal friends - Visa and Master Card ... you guy's have been the best through all the toughest of times - without you i'd never have been in the situation i am in today

 

 

On a serious note, the kit is an investment and has been built up over many years - no one could afford to just go out and but it all in one go .. certainly not me!

 

Besides, it's all good fun and well worth it in the long run ... isn't it?
