Setting Up a Home Recording Studio

Video Transcript

"Hello this is Aaron De Azevedo. I'm here with Expert Village. We're going to talk a little bit about the host studio and how it's set up, how it works. Well, we'll talk about interface. All of my keyboard, all my live recordings, they go into this. And everything is kind of routed through here. My external synths, they're all hooked up to here. Now this is kind of like a router, it tells everything what to do. For example, I play something in here, well it sends, this sends the information here and along back, I have a fire wire cable that's plugged into the back of my computer. And, or if I record audio, I record it in here and then this transmits that audio information into digital information and it goes into my computer and comes up as an audio wave up on my computer. So that's how it works. Also, with your interface it sends the sound out to my speaker. So my speakers are hooked up to my interface and it sends the sound out to these. You're going to want to have some hard drive space when you're doing these. We use these drives, right here. Grab this. A couple of C drives, they're nice hard drives. This is about 500GB available for about $220. And this is a fire wire drive, connects into here, so if I were recording lots of audio and I run out of space on my hard drive, inside the computer, I can record it directly onto this drive. It gives me and extra 500GB which can hold, who knows how much time it can hold, but it's a lot. So that's the basic set up of my studio."
