In general how much will it cost me for all the things i need for a home studio.
Hi and welcome to the forums.
Your question might seem simple, but it aint.
Well the basics you will need is a computer, a soundcard, a microphone and a sequencer or recording software.
From there on, the possibilities are endless.
I started out with just some newcomer gear back in the 80¨s.
Today I walked home with a Røde NT 2000 microphone for 1000 USD.
I guess that says it all. You can start out with cheap gear - maybe as low as 100usd as some guys claim here (if you allready got a computer).
But as your experience with tracking grows the first thing you will run into is hardware limitations, making trouble for you. Read=slow PC, too little RAM.
You might upgrade to a monster PC and continue to master tracking, arranging and mixing - just to find out that you want better sound. Off to the shop again. And so the story goes.
My current setup is around 35 000 USD now and havent bought my last piece of hardware/software. For sure.
Good luck.
