Any composers or people with home studios around?

Just curious to talk shop.

I have a small studio at home for practice and composition. I have been spending more time in it lately. I play guitar, bass, keyboards. These days I'm focused on scoring music for videos that I shoot.

I don't but one of my bandmates has a small studio in his basement. Together we've recorded and mixed dozens of songs, originals and covers. I play all the bass parts and the occasional guitar or keyboard part.

Not a composer but have been using a studio off and on since about 2007 or 2008. Just the computer, something called an "M-Audio Mobile pre-amp audio interface", some mid grade dynamic microphones, and Audacity software. I had no idea of any of this and just got input from others who, at the time, were playing, writing, and recording

- Midi Keyboard Controller
- External USB audio interface
- Studio monitor speakers
- Headphones

(optional)

Studio Rack
Power Amplifier
Speakers

Hardware synthesizers
Midi patch bay (if you have midi equipment)
Mixer
