7. A workspace built for creativity
Any music producer will tell you that their studio is their sanctuary. And while laptops and portable DAWs like Soundtrap also let you create on the go, you want to have a space at home where you can make music in comfort.
Picking out a desk and a comfortable chair is the first step. You preferably want to be in a room where noise disturbance is minimal. Having to trash the perfect take just because the neighbor’s kid was crying will ruin any producer's day.
You should also think about lighting. Being able to turn off the lights and have colored LEDs light up the room can be very inspirational while working on those dark beats and fiery melodies.
A few additional accessories
Make sure you don’t forget about necessities like XLR cables for instruments and mics, a pop filter, and a stand for your microphone. Depending on your equipment, there are many add-ons you can invest in to make the process smoother and your music sound better. The steps in this article, however, are a great place to start the journey.
