Tips For The Solo Musician: Your Recording Studio
Saturday, February 4th, 2012Each and every musician should have his, or her private recording studio. Just as each and every individual has chosen the instrument of their alternative, on the matching token, a recording studio is a complete 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 type of recording studio. It can range all the way from the smallest 2 or four tracks to a serious 24 to 50 track monster whatever you can afford. You can truly procure a 4 track studio for as little as $100, to $150.
I would like to identify to those who say that it's not do-able for them to procure, or run their private recording studio, you can achieve whatever you set in your thoughts to do! If you cannot get the sort of studio you need at very first, start with what you are able to afford, and develop on it. You will be stunned to find that more than time how fast you can reach your target. The purpose of your recording studio is to hone your private sound, record your music, and promote yourself, or further your music profession. Getting your personal recording studio will:
- Give you a tool to see what you definitely sound like.
- Give you a tool to make your private CDs.
- Give you a tool to record other people, and earn cash.
- Give you a tool to make tracks, jingles, ring-tones, and the like.
- Give you a tool to do whatever you can musically Consider of. The sky's the limit.
Here is a general outline of my dwelling recording studio, and how I go about utilizing it. I use Cakewalk Homestudio 2 XL to record all of my tracks. I have found that this works absolute 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 four pluginsAlto, Tenor, Baritone saxophones Peavey microphones Administrator octave divider Director stereo panning delay I have 352 Gigs of recording space, such as backup. Not forgetting my mic and Samson PS01 pop filter. It's a necessity for me to be as arranged as practical as possible. Hence I have created a template within my cakewalk software package that I use any time I record.
I think about what final band I want to have, and I develop my template based primarily on this notion. A 40 piece jazz orchestra. Like rhythm section woodwinds brass strings percussion and audio tracks. When I get 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 the other tracks in order from rhythm section, by percussion, strings, horns, ECT. I find that each and every recording gets much better, as I find much better strategies to perform with.
Peace, and quiet is the key Here, I wouldn't need it any other way.
