A very basic set up would consist of a computer, recording software, audio interface, a microphone and headphones. And of course an instrument. You may already have a computer or laptop and an instrument. So you are already part way there. #AskCBCMusic
There are some good free recording programs, Avid ProTools First or Audacity. An audio interface, microphone and headphones can all range in price but $500 could get you there on a budget. I would do a bunch or research then head to a music store and ask for help.
