Customer Review: Great Compatibility
I was looking for a video card that would take the load off of my Intel Core Duo CPU. I have 1Gib of RAM and with Ubuntu Linux it was running slow. The on board Intel 915 AGP graphics card was slow with 3D applications. This Video Card was easy to install in the PCI Express graphics port and perked my system right up. The card arrived faster than I would have expected, a full week earlier!


There is an art and science to getting the most mileage out of even bad equipment. I have found ways to MacGuyver together a working home studio with bargain equipment, and cheap substitutes. All you really need is a computer, some production software, and some loops.

I use Acid Music Studio. You can pick up a copy for around $40 new. Ive tried other software in the same price range, and the free programs I've found, but Acid MS is the best ive found for under $100. If you want to try free software, there are a few decent ones.

Ive bought about $300 worth of loops.

And I have my computer.

Those are the basics. What you absolutely must have. Your production software, loops, and your computer. The bare essentials to having a cheap home studio. After that its just about learning to arrange loops and make good music with them. Your computer becomes your instrument.

Things start getting tricky when you want to record things. I have a $10 mic I use to record. I use a $30 karaoke machine and my entertainment system as an amp. I have a $20 Radioshack Mic, and a couple of electric instruments; I bought used, I can plug in.

The overall theme here is I found ways to get around needing thousands of dollars of equipment. There are some tricks you can use to clean up, and enhance lower quality recordings. They offset some of the roughness, but I think most music is too polished anyway.

It is possible to put together a nice home studio, without breaking your budget to do it. You just need to think outside the box. Im sure you have plenty of usable equipment around you already, you just haven't looked at it with a producers eyes yet.

My name is Ryan and My love in life is music. Listening to it, making it and exploring it. Music really is my drive in life. I create acidhedz.com to help people learn to make their own music, and to showcase my own. I would like to share my love of music and the joy that come with creating your own, with everyone. Over time the site has expanded to include resources for bands looking to promote their music - http://acidhedz.com
