recording.

Over the past weekend I had the absolute pleasure of recording Nate Liebel (DayWars.tumblr.com). He has some excellent music written and I plan on posting a small sample some time latter this week once I start mixing. What was amazing is that the same computer I check my email on,  surf the web and basically do everything on could record with just a little usb device. Now I went a little over board and used 2 mics and a direct line in for Nate’s Guitar, but in a sense anybody with a computer and this device( a Tascam interface to be correct) with a basic microphone and a patch cable can make music in todays day and age. It was so simple plug and play. I used garage band on my mac just for the simple fact that I am lazy and didn’t feel like having to deal with pro tools. So after a short amount of time the studio (we used the church office) we were recording. Companies are now not only creating products for large professional studios but for home and small portable studios. The best thing about all of this is that I have never taken any classes/tutorials but all self taught and if I do say so myself everything has sounded pretty good. Anyways my point being recording is simple and everyone should try it. Take care!
