Laptop for Home Studio Recording? Its a No-brainer

January 21st, 2010 | Posted by admin

Speed, power, and storage capacity that can rival some of the top desk top models, throw in the portability factor and it’s a no-brainer. You don’t need a big desk top anymore to have a powerful computer to run your home recording studio.

Laptops in general have become very powerful in the last couple years and now there are a few models that are designed specifically for us music makers. This also means your hardware compatibility headaches and problems are over.

What made this change-over so appealing to me at first was the portability of it all as I travel a bit and the idea of sitting on a plane or hotel and working on a song’s arrangement or mix was exiting.

You can also take your home studio to another home or even pro studio and integrate your project into their set up or simply transfer your tracks. Having this option has saved me lots of time and money as well as improving on some of the quality of some tracking I wasn’t able to do at home. After which, you simply pack up your laptop and go plug it back into your own home studio with all those new tracks to play around with.

Becoming a music producer from the comfort of your home

August 19th, 2009 | Posted by admin




How many people would like a job that can make them hundreds of dollars a day from their own home?  Now, I’m sure most people believe that this is some kind of get rich quick scheme, but it really isn’t.  Now adays, people are making money by producing music from their own home.  With the internet, it is now possible to make and sell beats online.

I am sure that many people have dreamed of becoming famous producers.  But being a producer can be a big responsibility.  The producers main job is to not only make beats, but organize everything from preparing the studio to the artist’s arrival at a studio and mixing the music.  That is a lot to do for a music producer.  However, as I said, in these days, you really don’t need to do all of that.  Making music from home is really easy, and can be mastered with just a little practice.

If you take the time to sit down and learn how to work a computer program, you can become a music producer.  I know it sounds cool, doesn’t it?  You would get to make beats, and you even have the option of selling beats if that is what you wish.  Music beats are a hot commodity today, and billions of dollars are exchanging hands on the internet everyday.  It used to be impossible to make music from your computer, but now anybody can do it.  It can be really fun to mess around on a music producing software and see what you can come up with.  Even if you don’t choose to sell your music, it will always be your own to listen to.  You can take pride in the music that you create without anybody’s help.

Or maybe you just enjoy music, that is great too.  The point is that nobody is restricted to a music studio anymore.  You can have a personal music studio in your own home, at a desk.  You can even carry it around on a laptop.  Personally, I love messing around with my “studio” in my spare time.  Its fun and I feel like it is a great use of my time.  Right now it is just a hobby, but who knows…maybe someday I will be as famous as Timbaland!!
