    Hi I was just wondering what would be the essentials for home recording and then other pieces which can enhance it.

    Essentials would be a Laptop or PC (or Mac), and a DAW, the software you're going to use. There are decent free DAWs if they suit your purpose. I'd also say a decent microphone and interface are essential, although technically they aren't.

    And regarding enhancements the sky is the limit. It would depend on your current setup.

    M-Audio 88 key digital piano
    Presonus Firebox interface
    Apple Imac running logic pro (or Garageband)

    There's a thread about getting started in home music production over in the music production forum. It contains some helpful info on getting a set up to suit you and your budget etc. There's a link to the forum under my user name, can't link as on mobile sorry

    basic things (assuming you already have a computer)

    A decent mic
    a decent cable
    an M-audio box (or some other jack to USB interface)
    a pre-amp (if there isn't one built into the m-aduio box) i used to use a regular power mixer.
    software (there are many to choose from)

    You should be good to go then.
