This blog contains information on the industry of Digital Media Production. It identifies many trends, some of which are now established, and others which are just beginning. We can see the start of "Digital Content" happening. Many new forms of content are starting to appear-the so called "User Generated" content.

The purpose of this blog is to record and present trends in digital media production. Ideally, we would see that the market for Digital and/or reusable content was emerging, and that no-one had managed to satisfy this niche. However the findings here will be presented in as fair and neutral way for the reader to determine his or her own conclusions. Digital media technology is still developing rapidly, with no potential end in sight.

Create Your Own Home Recording Studio!


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.

Also, due to the enormous demand for my upcoming book “Start your Own Digital Label”, I've released a Free sample of the book. You can download it here.
