Discover how to easily build your own recording studio
using a computer…right inside your home!
How would you like to create
your own home recording studio using your computer to create music? My name is Zo Slater. I have
been creating, marketing and promoting music for over 10 years.I have my own production
company/ record label, Domination Empire Productions, and have produced and released
a series of songs, albums and instrumental mixtapes such as The Come Up and The First Cause volumes. Most of these projects were created in my home recording studio.
Even though many successful musicians record their music at high end
and professional recording studios it is possible to create music with the same
high quality and professionalism right from your home.
Years ago I started with a 4 track recording deck (OK, that was a long time ago).
Now I own a digital mixer that I've had for years, a Roland VS 1880 that I attached an Numark turntable to.But other than owning those pieces of equipment, most of
my recordings is now done on my computer. The audio and midi software available
today for computer recording is useful. You can record multiple tracks, edit
the recordings and add special effects as desired. Many of the audio recording
programs come with their own special effects such as reverb, compression,
flanger, and chorus, to name a few. Some of the recording software can also accept
third party effects such as vocal removers, tube amp effects and many more.
Multitrack recording software allows for recording
various live instruments, vocals, etc, onto individual tracks. After recording
one track, you can play it back while recording another. Once finished, you can
mix all the individual tracks down into one stereo track. Some recording
software will import and record both audio and MIDI, some audio only. If you
have a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI instrument, be sure to pick software that
handles both formats.
Creating a simple home audio recording studio is easy. In
addition to software, an audio and/or midi interface will allow you to plug all
kinds of audio components, microphones and instruments into your computer for
live recording, recording from tape or even from your old vinyl lp’s. You can
also use a home stereo system as an interface for audio components by running
cables to it from your computer’s sound card. A laptop with recording software
and a USB interface can serve as a totally portable recording studio. And
again, if you have MIDI instruments, be sure to get an interface that will
allow connecting them in addition to audio components and instruments.
The digital revolution has made music recording easily
available to anyone with a computer. If you enjoy music and want to do more
than just download mp3’s from the Internet, get some multitrack recording
software and start your own home sound studio.
