These are the most important things you need to know to make an audiobook at home. I've been making them in my free time for the last 6 years. These are all the most important things you need to know without any waffle.
I record at home in my hallway without professional equipment. If you want to get started you only need ~$150. Links to some recommended equipment are below:
