style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I wanted to write a post about <b>music making equipment for beginners<\/b>. Often, people ask, &#8220;<b>Why is music equipment so expensive<\/b>?&#8221; especially when you\u2019re not a professional. As a matter of fact, people have this false idea that <b>equipment for beat making<\/b> is heavy, when in fact you only need a computer and DAW software. That being said, let\u2019s see <b>what equipment is needed to be a music producer<\/b>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First, I\u2019ll start talking about these two components (computer and software), and then I\u2019ll move on to the other types of equipment that beginners should be aware of by giving you a short <strong>list of equipment for music production<\/strong>, including devices such as a Midi keyboard, microphones, or audio interfaces. At the end, I\u2019ll finish by giving you pieces of equipment that some of your favorite artists use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What equipment do you need to start producing music? A laptop (PC or Mac) and software are all you need to make beats<\/h2>\n<h3>Why is a computer necessary?<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/laptop-and-music-768x512.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/laptop-and-music-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/laptop-and-music-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/laptop-and-music-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/laptop-and-music-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/laptop-and-music-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/laptop-and-music.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"A computer is a vital piece of equipment for beat making\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\"><\/p>\n<p>This is quite a vital piece of equipment. Without a computer, it\u2019s almost impossible to create beats. If I say &#8220;almost,&#8221; it is because nowadays you can use your iPad or even your phone to make beats. The computer is the piece of equipment that is going to run everything. In short, the computer is the first thing to have in your <b>music producer starter equipment<\/b>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Besides, you\u2019ll need it to use your music composition software, helping you record, mix, and export your beat. Moreover, it\u2019s the key component that connects your other pieces of equipment, such as the microphone, the keyboard, and more.<\/p>\n<h3>What kind of computer?<\/h3>\n<p>Now, the question is, which computer do you need to make beats? Don\u2019t bother too much if you don\u2019t have money. Just use what you have. However, if you can afford a new piece of equipment, you must take into consideration the RAM, the processor, and the storage capacity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As long as you respect these factors, it\u2019s only up to you to decide on a laptop or a computer. For the latter decision, I would say it\u2019s a matter of comfort. In my opinion, I prefer a strong laptop that you can move everywhere. If you need more comfort at home, you can plug additional screens into your laptop to have more space when you work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve read a useful post from voicesinc.org on <a title=\"read about the best computers for music making\" href=\"https:\/\/www.voicesinc.org\/best-computer-for-making-music\/\" rel=\"noopener\">the best computers and laptops for making music<\/a>. Basically, they say that you should have a minimum of 8 GB of RAM (random access memory), but 16 is better. They also say that you should have an I5 or I7 processor for a PC. If you use a Mac, don\u2019t bother; the processor is good enough. Last but not least, you should check the storage capacity of the computer to be able to store a ton of tracks and manage a large library of samples.<\/p>\n<h3>The music production software, or DAW<\/h3>\n<p>Like the computer itself, the software is unavoidable. If you don&#8217;t use software, how do you want to record or compose something? A Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) is a music creation software that allows users to record sounds on their personal computer. It is used for sound recording, sound editing, MIDI editing, mixing, and mastering, among other functions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is a large choice of software depending on your beat-making level. You can use GarageBand, La Scratcheuse or more professional tools such as Ableton Live 11, FL Studio, Cubase or Pro Tools, for instance. In this post, &#8220;<a title=\"read La Scratcheuse's post on the best software for music production in 2022\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/the-best-software-for-music-production-in-2022\/\">The Best Software for Music Production in 2022<\/a>,&#8221; we gave a broad definition of what a DAW is (Digital Audio Workstation) as well as a large list of DAWs for beginners to start their beatmaking career.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Music-software-768x512.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Music-software-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Music-software-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Music-software-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Music-software-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Music-software.jpg 1280w\" alt=\"A music software is a vital piece of equipment for beat making\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\"><\/p>\n<h3>How to make a song with no equipment at all<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s see <b>how to make music without equipment<\/b>, or at least with what you have at home. To the question, &#8220;<b>What does a beginner music producer need<\/b>?&#8221; The answer is a computer and software. That\u2019s all you really need as a beginner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In music software, you get to use virtual instruments, among other functionalities. To control them, you can use the note sheet programs and select with your mouse or your computer keyboard the notes that you want to play. On the internet, you will see tons of tutorials showing you how producers write beats using virtual instruments that can be controlled by a computer.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you don\u2019t have to compose everything on your own at all. You don\u2019t even need to use virtual instruments to make beats. You can use music loops. For instance, you could choose a drum loop, a melody, a bass, and chords, then structure them, mix them, and make a beat. Software generally comes with a sound library.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For instance, there is this French artist called Christine and the Queens, who released a top song uniquely made with loops from the Logic Pro DAW software. It has created a controversy, but whatever we think, she composed a whole beat with samples only. The beat in question is: &#8220;Damn, dis moi&#8221; (damn, tell me). <a title=\"Listen to the song Damn,dis moi on Youtube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MdIvdGoLJRU&amp;ab_channel=ChristineandtheQueens\" rel=\"noopener\">Listen to the song here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At <a title=\"Go to La Scratcheuse's home page\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\">La Scratcheuse<\/a>, we specialize in the latter field: making beats using loops. We provide you with a music pad online on which each button represents a loop. By adding music loops together, you make awesome beats. Try it now online and have fun making beats in no time.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, whether you create your own music using virtual instruments and note sheets programs or using predefined music loops, the result is the same; you only need a computer and software as equipment to make beats.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\"><br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/jeu-mobile-768x1137.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/jeu-mobile-768x1137.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/jeu-mobile-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/jeu-mobile-692x1024.jpg 692w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/jeu-mobile-600x888.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/jeu-mobile.jpg 986w\" alt=\"La Scratcheuse is the best beginner equipment for beat making that includes everything you need and it's free\" width=\"768\" height=\"1137\"> <\/a><br><a role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\"><br>Make a beat online on La Scratcheuse<br><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What can you add to your beat making equipment after a computer and a software?<\/h2>\n<p><b>What do you need to make music at home<\/b>?

But, to go further, there are other pieces of equipment that you can acquire to improve your <b>music producer desk<\/b>. In our opinion at La Scratcheuse, we think that, next to the computer and software, it\u2019s interesting to get studio headphones, a midi piano keyboard, and an audio interface to plug in the microphone and instruments. Besides, a sample library is also cool to invest in. Let\u2019s go deeper into this <b>beat making equipment list<\/b>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Studio headphones<\/h3>\n<p>Why do you need studio headphones when you can use the headphones that you use for music listening? Well, studio headphones are used by any decent music producer for mixing. However, besides mixing, you should use headphones that make your sound as majestic as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We recommend you read this post published on musicradar.com on <a title=\"look at the best studio headphones for music production\" href=\"https:\/\/www.musicradar.com\/news\/the-best-studio-headphones-top-headphones-for-music-production\" rel=\"noopener\">the best studio headphones for music production.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also, you may find studio headphones that can only be plugged into audio interfaces. We will come to this point later in this post.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/headphones-studio-768x512.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/headphones-studio-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/headphones-studio-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/headphones-studio-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/headphones-studio-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/headphones-studio-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/headphones-studio.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Studio headphones is a piece of equipment for music production\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\"><\/p>\n<h3>MIDI keyboard<\/h3>\n<p>Beatmakers recommend investing in a MIDI piano keyboard to be more comfortable using the virtual instruments rather than using a computer mouse. Thanks to the piano keyboard, musicians can play notes naturally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A MIDI keyboard is an electronic piano-style keyboard that sends MIDI signals to your computer. More specifically, it\u2019s a keyboard that allows you to play virtual instruments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a beginner in music production, we recommend you use the AKAI MIDI keyboard.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Midi-keyboard-768x512.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Midi-keyboard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Midi-keyboard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Midi-keyboard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Midi-keyboard-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Midi-keyboard-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Midi-keyboard.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"A Midi keyboard\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\"><\/p>\n<h3>Audio interface<\/h3>\n<p>Why do you need an audio interface? This piece of equipment allows you to connect your microphone and your instruments to your computer. For a better understanding, your computer and software can only read a certain type of signal. The audio interface converts the microphone and instrument&#8217;s signals into ones recognized by computers and software.<\/p>\n<p>For beginners, we recommend you buy a Forcusrite Scarlet 2i2.

Even if you don\u2019t sing, you may need a studio microphone to record vocals and use them as other instruments in your beats. Among microphones, we recommend the following model: Rode NT1-A<\/p>\n<p>There are certain things to consider before you choose a microphone, and the website producersphere.com explains that very clearly in their post on <a title=\"the best microphones for rappers\" href=\"https:\/\/www.producersphere.com\/best-mics-for-rappers\/\" rel=\"noopener\">the 6 Best Mics for Rappers \/ Rap Vocals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/microphone-768x510.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/microphone-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/microphone-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/microphone-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/microphone-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/microphone-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lascratcheuse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/microphone.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"A microphone is a piece of equipment for beat making\" width=\"768\" height=\"510\"><\/p>\n<h3>Samples library<\/h3>\n<p>Last but not least, the sample library is a must-have in your <b>music producer&#8217;s equipment list<\/b>. As I said earlier, you can use pre-defined samples in your beats. You can create your own sample library by composing them, use the library from your music software, or even subscribe to a sound library service such as <a title=\"visit splice's website\" href=\"https:\/\/www.splice.com\" rel=\"noopener\">Splice<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What do artists use as equipment for beat making?<\/h2>\n<p>One of my favorite websites is homestudioguides.com. They\u2019ve written a post on the equipment used by famous rappers and producers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the post, you will see some <b>professional beat making equipment<\/b> and maybe some of the <strong>best beat making equipment<\/strong> that is used by Drake, Kanye, and Travis Scott.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Drake uses the Neumann TLM 103 model microphone and Ableton Live 10 software.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Kanye West uses the Audio-Technica 4050 Condenser model for microphones, Avid Pro Tools for software, and Beats Studio headphones for headphones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Travis Scott uses a Neumann TLM103 model for his microphone, for software, FL Studio 11, and for headphones, the Beats Solo headphones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a title=\"Read more about&nbsp;hip hop beat making equipment here\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homestudioguides.com\/5-famous-hip-hop-artists-and-the-equipment-they-use\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more about&nbsp;<b>hip hop beat making equipment <\/b>here<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>A last word on the equipment for beat making<\/h2>\n<p>As a conclusion, beginners should understand that the best equipment for beatmakers is creativity. It might be surprising, but the truth is that, except for the computer and the DAW software, you don\u2019t need much more to start making beats. With a computer and software, you have a large choice of options you can use to create tons of beats. That\u2019s why creativity matters so much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the equipment I\u2019ve shared with you, such as the MIDI keyboard, the headphones, and the audio interfaces, is what you should acquire next. In my opinion, it\u2019s not mandatory to start making beats. Obviously, to reach the top level, you will need more tools than I shared with you in this post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With this piece of content, I sincerely hope that beginners are more aware of the kind of music equipment they need to construct their bedroom producer desk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Please tell us in the comments what kind of tools you use and add reference models for others to see what you use.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\" id=\"share-this-post\">Share this post<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share uagb-social-share__outer-wrap
