If you plan on becoming a freelance sound designer, it is going to be essential to have a good home or dorm room recording studio. With a few pieces of equipment and some top of the line software there isnt much you cant accomplish in the world of recording and sound design. But this software is going to be expensive and you have to know how to use it!
As part of a dorm room recording studio, a good freelance sound designer will have recording software and midi software instruments. You need a program that can combine and edit these different musical sources. Besides that you also need some film scoring and editing programs because nearly all sound design is related to film and video. This can become a very expensive, but compact and effective dorm room recording studio all within a laptop.
You will also need some high quality sound effect libraries that you can edit and modify to create the environments that you desire. These can also be expensive. There are many to chose from and you may need more than one.
Along with the software that is required for any freelance sound designer, you need a few pieces of equipment in your dorm room studio. You need a small recording interface with a microphone that can also accept instrument lines from guitars and such. Once you have all of this you are ready to start your sound designing.
