Get Started

The journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step...so get ready to step your game up.

Let's start by addressing some common misconceptions:

Myth 1 - Only professional musicians make recordings

Judges?!? Oooh sorry. That is not correct.

Any musician can make a recording and I'll show you how.

Creating a home studio is not hard once you understand the basic functionality and interaction of the equipment.

Myth 2 - Setting up a music recording studio is expensive

False! Like any hobby worth its salt (camping, traveling, spelunking, etc.) the sky is the limit in terms of how much you could spend.

I'll help you determine where it's best to splurge and where its best to save. It's possible to make your home studio on a budget you can afford.

Myth 3 - I get lost in the tech-talk... Creating a home recording studio must be really hard

Ahhh my dear lad or lassie!

Soon you will see how easy it is to develop a setup uniquely suited for your needs.

Though at first the terminology may sound daunting, I'll explain everything in plain English so you can gain confidence with "studio talk".

I'll walk you through the basics and give you the tools to get started with your design today!

Periodically there will be some related hyperlinks to take you to a page with more info on the subject at hand, like this one talking about the Physics of Sound.

Any more excuses?!? Good. So why are we even trying to make a studio in the first place??

Its all about the Songs

It's so easy to get sidetracked and distracted, swamped in a sea of details and to lose sight of the Big Picture.

Songs have words, songs have melodies... but the really great ones invoke an emotion in the listener.

These are the ones that people want to hear over and over again.

Musicians use songs to express emotion and invoke emotion in others.

It's really as easy as that.

This will be one of our fundamental principles as we make decisions for this home recording studio project.

Fancy equipment and professional quality gear will not get you there.

People listen to music because it communicates something to them - moves them emotionally on the most basic levels.
