Please note that this video was made in December 2016. I have since made a more up-to-date one in September 2021 which is much longer (3 hr 20 min) and goes into much more detail about equipment with demonstrations, tutorials and extras such as how to publish your music on Spotify and iTunes.

Throughout this 1-hour video tutorial I'll explain about all the various pieces of hardware and software that you'll need to set up your own home recording studio. The emphasis during this video is on professional studio-grade equipment, the results of which will rival the sonic quality of any chart-topping hit you'd hear on the radio. Having said that, the costs involved at not that of your average professional recording studio, which can often run into tens of thousands of pounds. The equipment you'll need to set up a professional studio-grade quality home recording studio will be between £6,000 and £8,000.
