These days almost anyone can start recording music at home. There are only five things that I consider absolutely necessary to make high quality recording and mixing music in your own studio ‘home and running. ”
-  A good computer
Your computer will be the basis of your studio, it is important to a computer that can handle the task (it can be quite taxing to accomplish all these modern audio programs.)
You need a computer with a minimum of 4 GB of RAM to get (more is better.) I also recommend to avoid Vista-based computer (my Vista experience has been a nightmare.)
- Audio Interface
They are getting cheaper every year. I remember in 2001, it was difficult to get a decent audio interface for less than $ 750 each. Now you can for U.S. $ 200.
