Baltimore sitarist, vocalist, and electronic musician Ami Dang recently planned an expansion of her home-recording setup, only to be set back financially by the outbreak of COVID-19. You don’t need to spend a fortune on home recording gear it’s possible to make a good record using only the bare essentials. The first step is to relax, take a deep breath, and remember that an expensive mic isn’t going to turn you into a master songwriter, just as a cheap mic isn’t going to sap you of your talent.

The price range is vast: You could pay nothing and use your computer’s built-in mic, or you could drop five figures on some vintage German-engineered hardware that probably belongs in a museum.
