Today, we're diving head first into the audio world so we can get our home studios up and running. A home studio is an essential tool for a songwriter or composer at any level. These days, it's a necessity.

But there are so many options and so much gear to explore – how are we supposed to know what we need and what to get? That's why I'm here. I lay out the four main components of any home studio, and I promise it won't break your bank.

Whether you're downsizing your current rig for a new space, or building your very first home studio, I'll give you actual products you can check out that will get you where you need to go.

Where are you on your home studio journey? Let me know down in the comments!

Also, it would mean a whole lot if you clicked on the title in the video and subscribed to the youtube channel. There's a lot of good we can do there and I need your help to do it.

Thanks so much for being here.

If you're just beginning your journey writing music, or are just getting into writing on a computer for the first time, this is the first question you need to answer: 

Should I use a DAW or Notation Software?

This week, we're unpacking both kinds of software and highlighting what they do and which one might be best for your situation. 

In fact, it's entirely possible you need both! (Yo) 

By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of which to choose and why. At the very end, we'll talk about some software options. More than that, we'll specifically discuss free software so you can get start writing music on your computer (or phone – yes, phone) without spending a penny. 

Comment below to let me know what program(s) you use to write music and what you think of some of the programs I mentioned in the video.
