Recording Introduction
(Page 1 of 1)
Published on 04/12/2007 by Jamie Leger
Outfitted with the bare necessities for audio recording, an excited grin sticks to your face as you prepare the equipment to track your song. In anticipation, you fumble with your acoustic guitar and notepad of barely legible lyrics, while trying to install a demo version of some generic recording software to capture the hit.
Eager to create, you adjust the stand holding a microphone that could probably pass as a cheese grater to the distant eye. You plug the dusty microphone into the audio interface you’ve bought for less than the cost of your last cell phone, and quickly load your software sequencer. Poking at your keyboard - like a caveman in a rocket ship you attempt to make sense out of the unfamiliar menu’s and preferences. Finally, you resort to locating the record button indicator and beginning your latest musical idea.
The last note rings out of your guitar. Refreshingly satisfied, you slowly open your eyes to receive the response of your, well…would be, captivated listeners. Your confident grin slowly shapes into a scowl as you look up and realize your screaming fans are still, only fantasy. Instead, a blank computer screen mocks you in all your newbie-ness. Your frustration begins to snowball as you attempt to playback your captured priceless-ness. Begrudgingly, you-accept your software did not record your three and a half minutes of glory, and realize you must seek knowledge on the tools necessary for recording music.
Well my friend that is a true story I humbly claim ownership to. Needless to say, I underestimated what was involved in making a quality recording. Tail between my legs, I slowly began learning the process and equipment involved in a recording studio. Whether this illustration sounds familiar or not; if you’ve ever stumbled over digital/audio related issues while recording, ever wondered what components build a functional recording studio, wanted to find answers to questions regarding audio or music recording, or have just gotten stuck on a few specific issues within your home or project studio, then you've come to right place! Audiomecca is a collection of recording studio and audio related sections, additional audio and recording resources, and much more to come. We have a music dictionary to explain music terms, which is growing every day with practical definitions for technical jargon.
On this site you will find:
-
Original articles written by music professionals: On how to properly use the all the tools of the modern studio.
-
Definitions in our own music dictionary
Today, recording and producing music in a home recording studio is more practical and efficient than ever. (Both in terms of cost and versatility.) However, there are certainly a number of subjects any eager newbie must understand in order to produce music using all the tools of the modern digital audio workstation. (D.A.W.) I have collected my knowledge of recording through trial and error, college courses, and other producers/recording engineers. I offer my content free, as a resource for the online musical community.
My name is James, and I will be your tour guide through this enchanted forest of musical possibility.
There are three components to being successful with the information I will give to you.
-
Interest in music.
-
Commitment to learn and practice.
-
Enjoying the gift of creating music.
