A Multitrack Digital Workstation can free you from the normal restrictions of both traditional studio equipment with its load of outboard gear and a computer-based DAW that can be too fragile for location work. And we hope you've realized that Sweetwater is your best source for workstation recorders! So what else do you need to complete your workstation studio? Here are some recording essentials that can fill out your studio and fit your budget. You won't necessarily find everything you need to complete a professional studio here, but it will help you get started building a complete recording rig. Feel free to call us at 1-800-222-4700 to find out how easy it is to put your ideal workstation together!

    » Microphones
    If you plan to do any live recording at all, a quality microphone can be your best friend, while an inadequate mic can cause sonic wreckage!

    » Headphones and Headphone Amps
    When you record vocals to a backing track or overdub instrumental parts, a headphone mix for the artist is a must. And if you have more than one player or singer recording at the same time, you need to distribute your headphone mix to each participant. Here are some headphone choices and an economical distribution system.

    » Media
    Don't forget to have plenty of blank CD-Rs - you never know when you want to burn just one track or duplicate your whole album. Plus, many or the compact Multitrack Digital Workstations use SmartMedia or CompactFlash cards to store your songs. You can never have enough of these!

    » Stands, Cases and Accessories
    Any recording situation calls for mic stands! And booms are essential for placing drum overhead mics as well as properly positioning vocal mics. If you carry your workstation to a live location or anywhere else, protect it with a case! Also, most of the workstations we carry feature a footswitch jack that gives you punch in-punch out capability when you're recording yourself on guitar or keyboard.

    » Studio Acoustic Treatment
    One of the real secrets of pro studios is that their room acoustics are excellent! Tuning your listening and recording environment is just as important as tuning your instrument, if not more.
