Where and how to get recoding equipment to record me singing and put music to it?!?
I write songs and I want to record them myself, but I also want to put music to it. The problem is I don’t play any instruments but I know how I want it to sound? Is there anything I could use to do it?? and what type of recording equipment would I need and from where…roughly how much money? I know there’s a lot if questions but if you could help me with any of them I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you!
Well your best bet would be to use a Virtual Synth program such as Reason. Then use a MIDI Keyboard controller to play the instruments, and also use the sequencer tools to perfect it.
So here’s how Reason works. You have over 1,000 instruments in the arsenal to choose from. You load up the instrument, then use your Keyboard to start out some type of melody. Now, I know you can’t play, so it’s not going to sound great, but you pluck a few notes for your start. Then you go to the MIDI Sync button and it will automatically synch the notes you hit, into the closest time slot, to make everything in time. Then you can use thte Editor in the sequencer to add notes and edit notes with the Mouse. See, so it’s kind of like pasting in notes where you want them. You can do this for guitar, drums, piano, flute, violin, etc. It’s really a cool program.
It’s either that, or you find a band.
Reason is $400, a MIDI Keyboard is about $250, you’ll need a mic to sing into about $100, and you’d need an Audio Interface to tie everything together and that’s about $200. So just under $1,000 to get it all.
Reason – $400

Usually the singer sings to the music, do the music first, then dub the voice.
