Home Recording Part 1

I have been recording my own music for over 18 years. I started with 4 track cassette recorders, and now I use unbelievable computer software. The recordings I make today won’t fool a professional sound engineer, but the average listener thinks I go to a professional recording studio to do my sessions. That is good enough for demo work and for what I’m out to gain.

What am I out to gain? I want to be able to record very good stable recordings to put on CDs that I can sell at the gigs where I play. I’m doing that today. And the best part? I can record anytime I’m ready without the worry of booking studio time or wondering if I’ll have the money to do it with because, I run the studio myself. I can tell you how to do this on a low budget.

And if you own the computer that you are viewing this on… you are already halfway there. The computer is the most expensive part of the process, so if you already own it, part of the payload is done. In each blog I will cover each software that can be used. I will tell you the pros and cons, and tell you the best way to get the best results. Don’t worry, you won’t have to be a pro to get good results in your recordings.
