A football player at Hyde Academy in Bath, Maine, Drew Farney began studying at the independent preparatory boarding school in 2019. Drew Farney balances his academics and athletic interests with songwriting and creating beats, some of which have been featured on SoundCloud.
Creating music and beats at home has never been more accessible. To create a home recording studio, consider investing in the following equipment:
1. A computer. If you are on a budget, you can likely work with the computer you already have. If you can afford an upgrade, choose a large screen and a fast processor, as beat-making software requires a lot of processing power.
2. A Digital Audio Workspace. (DAW). This software will help you record, edit, and mix tracks. With options suited for beginning to advanced beat makers, a DAW will help you begin to create unique beats you can layer with other sounds.
3. A MIDI controller. A 25-keyboard is small and affordable and will allow you to control the virtual instruments in your DAW. Though the keyboard itself doesn’t make sound, it sends signals to your software to play instrumental samples or voices.
4. Studio headphones. Simple but vital, a high-quality set of headphones will provide clear, crisp sound for you to sample your beats.
5. Microphone. If you plan to sing over your beats, a good microphone will elevate the sound quality.
