If music is your passion, then there are a variety of hardware and software tools available to create your own in-home music studio. You may have seen photos of producers with massive studios complete with soundproof booths and thousands of dollars of software. While that is all great to have, you don’t need to get everything right away. One important tool is music production software. Something used by amateur and professional producers alike is Pro Tools. It is a digital audio workstation used for recording and editing in music production, film scoring, film and television post production and more.
