I’m a bedroom music producer — here’s how I’d set up a cheap home studio for Mac with Prime Day deals

Creating music is an incredibly freeing process. A great way to both get your feelings down and cheer yourself up, it can be nice to have a finished product that expresses yourself better than words can. With a good music production setup, you can not only hear songs back as intended but show them to the rest of the world. 

Apple gear is some of the very best in the world for music producers, thanks to excellent software like Logic Pro and Garageband, but also because of how nice Apple’s hardware is. As well as all of this, the Apple ecosystem means that you can work on projects across multiple devices with ease. Once you have one piece of Apple hardware, you can immediately start making music. 

Now that Prime Day 2024 is almost here, there are already some excellent deals to get a full music setup for much cheaper. 

From a studio interface to cables, there are lots of little bits of equipment worth picking up if you want to produce certain types of sounds. If you just want acoustic guitar and vocals, we recommend picking up a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 to get started. If you want to overlay that with synth and programmed drums, we recommend some keys below, too. These are the best deals out there right now.
