Key to setting up a home recording studio environment to a reasonable standard is a sound card or external audio interface.
A sound card or audio card is an internal computer expansion card that facilitates input and output of audio signals to and from a computer. (More suited to Stand alone computers)
An audio interface on the other hand is an external device that provides the same function, using software to generate and transmit sound to and from a computer. (More suited to Laptop computers, though not always the case!)[/cs_text][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_gap size=”50px”][cs_text]At the core of any home studio software set-up will be one of the many DAW’s (Digital Audio Workstations) running on a reasonably powerful computer with a decent amount of storage and RAM.

In conjunction with a DAW there are a wide range of plug-ins (VST, AU, AXX etc.) that can provide a huge scope to creative possibilities.
