Producing A Song Without Studio Equipment

The only two things we have with us that could help us to produce a song are laptops and cell phones. So, this got us thinking how could we possibly produce a song limiting our self to just using the laptop and cell phones?

I know that recording gear is expensive, you could get a cheap yet good microphone like the Audio-Technical AT2020 which would make you sound great, but not everyone has the budget.

Also, even a digital audio work station could cost you something like $600 or more and I doubt you are going to want to spend that amount.

But there are some free DAW’s out there and almost everyone has a Smartphone. So, we can be able to find a way to record and mix a song using just a free DAW and our cell phone with free apps.

We can produce a song without studio equipment with the help of a cell phone and a laptop.
