Music Recording Gear

Every musical group, band, and singer in the world would love to record in one of the many acoustically-designed top quality studios available. They’d have access to all that incredible music recording gear – reverb plates, digital delays, compressors, parametric equalizers, special microphones, and all the other sophisticated sound-processing equipment the first class engineers use to work their magic.

However, even if they could fork over the heavy bread required for studio-renting and engineer-hiring, there are far too few professional studios to accomodate all these eager-to-record musicians. So the groups record themselves, their members often acting as both audio and electronic engineers, but usually fail to achieve the balance, presence, and clarity their musicianship deserves.

If you haven’t signed a recording deal with a record company yet (or don’t ever plan to), you’ve probably been thinking about setting up your own home recording studio, too. Fortunately, these days you can buy music recording gear that produces high quality results for extremely reasonable prices.

Typical Home Recording Studio

To help self-recording musicians avoid poor results, I’m drawing from my years of experience in recording group demos, commercials, and professional artists to give you ideas to help you get the best results from your low-budget recordings. I’m going to be explaining the basic necessities, and guiding you along the way toward building a “complete” home recording studio. By “complete”, I mean ending up with the music recording gear you NEED to get great recordings. I am not going to push a lot of extra “goodies” that may be nice “down the road”, but are NOT necessary to get excellent basic recordings.

I just want to help you choose the best music recording gear and get your home recording studio up and working as quickly as possible so that you can get busy making music!
