The most common home studio setup includes one or two MIDI devices connected to a digital recorder and one or two microphones plugged in to record vocals or an instrument.
The guitar and bass may either be miked from the amp or plugged directly into the mixer using one of the following three techniques: *Use a direct box, a device that changes the impedance level of your guitar so that the mixer can process the signal.
*Plug your guitar into your amp and run a cord from the line output of the amp to the mixer's channel input.
*Use the Hi Z input of your mixer, if this input is available.
Also it can consists of a stand-alone recorder, a separate mixer, and a computer running MIDI sequencing software.
Here's how you connect the equipment in this scenario.
Plug all your instruments into the channel inputs of the mixer.
For example, insert a TS plug into a 1/4-inch jack and an XLR into an XLR jack.
To connect the synthesizer to the MIDI controller (computer), run a MIDI cable from the MIDI-output jack of the MIDI interface to the MIDI-input jack of the synthesizer.
The connection between the MIDI interface and computer depends on your MIDI interface.
This connection is usually made using a USB port, but you can find MIDI ports in many audio interfaces.
In this case, the connection type depends on the type of interface you use.
Audio and MIDI are simple and basic but home recording will not exists if you do not know the ins and outs of it.
