 As a voice-over talent and recording engineer, my “home” studio is just an extension of my “work” studio. Being lucky enough to work in an actual recording studio, I can bring my work home and vice versa. I work at Nakamoto Productions, where we edit using Degidesign Pro Tools on Mac computers.
I use the same editing software at home on a Dell PC, along with Digidesign’s MBox. It’s small, portable, and has never let me down. It’s a great interface for small set-ups, and now they even make several different options for the MBoxes.

HOME MEDIA ROOM
I don’t have a sound booth, but I sound-proofed a media room in my house to lay down the best audio quality possible.
I glued Auralex sound baffles to the wall with their special Foamtak adhesive, which sprays in a “spider web” pattern, and is removable if you use a light coat.
You don’t need much to have a basic home studio, but I would recommend investing in a good pair of studio monitors and a set of headphones.
I use Edirol monitors and Sony headphones, which are probably not the best, but I am comfortable with their reproduction.
As soon as I land another great paying gig, I would consider “upgrading” the monitors. It is essential to have the ability to listen to every detail of your recording.
