If i want to begin a home recording studio for audio books?

Considering a home audio studio to record audio books. Any ideas on the equipment needed? Have a microphone with usb hook up. Interfacing needed? Sound room? Can you make much money at recording audio books?|||with a USB mic you can download audacity and start recording right away. use a small room or build your own isolation booth to reduce room noise in the recording.





there might be some legal issues you'll have to worry about regarding rights to the work. i have no idea who to contact on stuff like that (publishers, writers, distrubuters, etc).





as far as money goes i can kind of see that going either way. more that likely i bet you wont make too much unless you land a deal to do a lot of books or something like that. you never know|||If you would like to do this on a regular professional bases, here's what you'll need:





-A contract with a publishing company.


-An audio interface (like these M-Audio ones): http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=prod鈥?/a>


As you are recording just a reading voice, an interface with 1 input will do just fine.


-A good microphone for voice, like the RE20 (used in radio and audio books) http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40%26amp;_trksid=鈥?/a>


-Recording software. Anything basic works, but I suggest Pro Tools.


-Good reference studio monitors for EQ of voice. http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=prod鈥?/a>





Hope this helps!
