Home recording used to be something for project studio specialists rather than regular musicians. But Billy Eilish, Chance the Rapper, Mac Demarco and Grimes have all had hit records produced out of their bedrooms. And even artists that still use studios are guaranteed to have a mobile setup they can take with them. After all, it’s super convenient. 

Of course, it’s about more than just convenience, because home recording also makes sense for your brain and your bank. Home is where you feel most comfortable. It’s where you feel creative. And it’s way, way cheaper than even a second-rate studio. 

So, how do you go about creating your own home recording setup? What gear do you need? Which mic is the right one for you? And how do you set it up so that your tracks hit different?

We’ve got the answers and packed this handbook with miking techniques, tips and tricks, and mic basics for recording vocals, guitar & bass, drums, and other acoustic intstruments.

It's time to get MIKED UP!
