For Such a Time As This
We live in an amazing age of technology and communication. This is especially true in the music and recording industry. Computers changed everything. Then the Internet created a global economy so fierce that manufacturing competition has driven prices down tremendously. Never before have we seen such a "perfect storm" of affordability, accessibility, and power as it relates to recording equipment. If you are a musician, songwriter, or producer reading this now (it is 2010 as I write this) then you my friend live in a privileged age. You have more opportunity than generations before you ever had to both write, record, and distribute your music, professionally and with relative ease. Why is this important? It is imperative that you understand that in one way, the art and practice of music recording is unchanging. There are truths about audio, and techniques that are just plain fact and will never change, regardless of technological advances. BUT...and this is a big but, it is crucial that you are aware that in another way, everything about recording music has changed.
The Problem
There are so many more choices these days when it comes to recording gear. From computer choice, to Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) choice, to plugin choice, to microphone choice; the list becomes nauseatingly long. And because so many of us musicians have jumped into home recording with a passion, products are being marketed to us at a ballistic rate every year. This causes mass confusion for many, and even worse, endless debates and arguments on Internet forums over software and recording gear. Maybe you've been a part of those debates, I know I have. Have they really gotten you anywhere? Did they help you make
If you just so happen to like spending your time and energy (and even your money) on gear lust and debate, then this eBook is not for you. If, however, you prefer to use the tools at your disposal to create new, creative, exciting music and to do that at a level of quality and professionalism that people will take it seriously, then read on to see how the #1 rule of home recording can help you!
The #1 Rule of Home Recording
When it comes down to it, you need to have the right frame of mind to succeed at home recording. Before you even begin buying gear or pressing the "record" button you need to have the right mentality about the whole process. But first let me define a few terms so we are all on the same page here. By "home recording" I mean exactly that. You want to have a basic recording studio in your home or office. This is opposed to building a commercial facility with all of it's wonderful trappings (and price tags). Home recording used to be a joke of a term, but today it should be taken seriously. By "rule" I mean a principle. Principles are something you believe in completely and they direct you. They help you make decisions (usually quickly) as you simply try and align the possible options before you with your guiding principles.
