Home Recording – A simple How to Guide for Home Studio People
If you’ve always dreamed of hitting the big time in music then I’m here to kill all procrastination. It’s easy to make music at home and start Digital Home Recording.
Only twenty years ago making music at home meant spending thousands of dollars on equipment and learning to use very tricky tools with no internet for free Home Recording Techniques. Luckily today’s technology means we all have a chance of making music cost effectively and hitting the big time on YouTube and MySpace.
In this post I want to show you that Home Recording Studio construction is not a big deal and if you have a bit of a flare for songs then its a great time to get started.
If you’re a newbie to home recording then hold onto your hats because this is going to be just what you looking for.
You’re Going to Need Some Computing Tools – When I first built the home studio I use today, my little trick was to ask a friend who had done the same thing exactly what he spent his money on. I then put my dollars into the same thing buying Mbox with Pro Tools and which I highly recommend. (Pro Tools will become your best friend, it’s the big brain of your studio and makes everything work!)
Don’t Spend $1000’s on Soundproofing – Find a suitable room for your home recording projects. A good time to record the loudest parts in are during office hours or on the weekend. This will save you a lot of arguing…
You should take some steps to killing the sound leakage in your home studio. You could spend a lot of money turning your loft into the Starship Enterprise but the point of this is to get recording cheaply so take a few soundproofing steps and get going.
Get your Hands on the Right Recording Microphones – Buy a condenser microphone for your vocals and guitar. A good set of Mics to record the full band could set you back $2500 so find a good hire shop and just pay when you need them.
Beat the Home Recording Fear – Start recording as soon as you can. Many people plan and plan their tracks and talk about how great they’re going to be, but these people never seem to produce much music. If you want to hit 1 billion page views on MySpace then you’ve got to get your hands dirty.
Tell the World of your greatness- The best way to do this right now is Facebook pages. This is the best way to get your music out their because it has all the great features of twitter and much more.
So that’s it, some easy steps to getting started with home recording that anyone can use. Once again the main point of this is to get started and you’ll soon be making tracks to be proud of!
