Advice For The Single Musician: Your recording studio

By Charlie Hayche


Every musician should have his, or her private recording studio. Just as each and every individual has settled on the instrument of their alternative, on the matching token, a recording studio is an absolute must have. Consider it as a ultimate tool for the perfection, and promotion of your musical profession.

With today's technology, there is not any excuse for not getting some sort of recording studio. It can range from the smallest 2 or four tracks to a serious 24 to 50 track monster whatever you are able to afford. You can actually acquire a four track studio for as little as $100, to $150.

I want to indicate to those that say that it is not do-able for them to get, or run their private recording studio, you can accomplish whatever you set in your thoughts to do! If you cannot obtain the type of studio you need at very first, begin with what you can afford, and develop on it. You'll be surprised to find that more than time how fast you can reach your aim. The purpose of your recording studio is to polish your private sound, record your music, and promote yourself, or extra your music profession. Getting your personal recording studio will:

1. Give you a tool to see what you definitely sound like.
2. Give you a tool to make your private CDs.
3. Give you a tool to record folks, and earn cash.
4. Give you a tool to make tracks, jingles, ring-tones, and such like.
5. Give you a tool to do pretty much whatever you can musically Consider of. The sky's the limit.

Here's a general outline of my dwelling recording studio, and how I am going about utilizing it. I use Cakewalk Homestudio 2 XL to record all of my tracks. I have located this works very best with my screen reader: Jaws for Windows. I also use an 8 channel Baringer mixer a Fostex 12 channel sub mixer Korg M1 Yamaha keyboard Del demention 47 computer Sonar Producer 4 pluginsAlto, Tenor, Baritone saxophones Peavey microphones Manager octave divider Boss stereo panning delay I have 352 Gigs of recording space, for example backup. Not forgetting my mic and Samson PS01 pop filter. It is a prerequisite for me to be as organised as practicable as possible. Hence I have made a template within my cakewalk software package that I use any time I record.

I think of what final band I would like to have, and I develop my template based on this notion. A 40 piece jazz orchestra. Like rhythm section woodwinds brass strings percussion and audio tracks. When I am getting a concept for a song, I quickly bring up my template and lay down the keyboard track with the correct drum track (session drummer) I then go back and record all of the other tracks in order from rhythm section, by means of percussion, strings, horns, ECT. I find that each and every recording gets much better, as I find better strategies to perform with.

Peace, and quiet is the key Here, I wouldn't want it any other way.
