Q&A for How to Make a Recording Studio

It depends on the specifics of what you get. My first setup was about 300 dollars.

If you are referring to a home studio, I would start by finding a room with little sound or noise. You could soundproof the walls, but it may be pricey ($100-$300 for a whole room), depending on what room you are in and taking account of the wall thickness, location, flooring, etc. Some necessities are a desk, chair, computer/laptop, speakers, headphones, MIDI pad (a small keyboard that connects to a computer that has keys and usually drum pads you can program sounds onto), and an audio interface. These are just the bare minimum.

It's best to make the studio soundproof, unless you want to spend hours filtering out background noise.

Get a small mirror and drag it across the wall. At any point you see you see your instrument, you treat that section. Light and sound travel in similar ways.
