Video Editing Software Kits
Equipment for Recording Music?
I’ve been playing the guitar for just over 2 years now, I sing a little and the other day some friends of mine persuaded me to record some of my music. I thought it was a good idea, but don’t really know what kit I need. I want to make a video of it (may involve cuts from different takes etc) but don’t know what software I should use (for editing the video and audio), how I should record the guitar and vocal part (through camera speaker or via USB/mic to the PC) or how I should mix and edit the effects on the final audio etc
Any help would be much appreciated
This is a great time to begin a project like this. With just a computer and a few pieces of gear you can make a great sounding home recording.
What you’ll need:
- A computer
- Audio Interface
- Basic Recording Software
- Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic
Assuming you already have a home computer, I’d recommend starting with a PreSonus Audio Interface such as this one:

This gives you everything you need to get started with your recording including:
- phantom power supply (powers the condenser mic)
- microphone preamps (boosts the weak mic level signal)
- analog / digital converters (converts electrical mic signal to a digital form that computers can understand)
- basic recording software (for recording your tracks on the computer)
Moving on I’d go with a large diaphragm condenser mic for recording your guitar and vocals.

If your guitar has pickups, another inexpensive option is to use a Direct Box (also called a DI Box) and plug it directly into your Audio Interface.
This setup should get you started… as far as mixing and editing, you’ll likely need to upgrade to more powerful software suite such as Cakewalk Sonar, Pro Tools, or Studio Logic.
You definitely don’t need this to get started and you might be surprised how ‘final’ your raw recording sounds.
