It notes that in the 1980s, electronic music production cost hundreds of thousands of dollars but that today it can be done for a fraction of the cost, around $3,000, using modern computer software and hardware. The document provides recommendations for equipment needed to start making electronic music, including computers, audio interfaces, microphones, software, and online resources for learning.
