Post #1:
Welcome! There are many sites and blogs out there catering to the home recording enthusiast; this one is written to take out the mystery out of making recordings in your home studio.
There are lots of information to be covered. You see, recording is part technical and part artistic process. I'd leave the artistic and musical process to you. I know you have your own vision on how your music should sound. But hopefully, with this site, I can share some technical information, and practical knowledge that will help YOU make better home recordings.
This site will be organized more as a reference site for the newbie, the amateur, or the veteran musician wanting to make his own home recordings. Nothing will be assumed, and we'll discuss the recording process from the ground up. I know some topics will be boring to some of you, and you'd want to start cranking and recording. But if we're going to build a home studio or learn about home recording, we should start at the basics and foundation.
I'm not going to promise you that you'll be the next hot-shot recording or mastering engineer. That's not the point of this site. But I hope that the knowledge you'd gain from this site, you'd be able to produce your own recordings that will sound great and that you'll be proud to share with your friends, or give to that A&R person.
I'll try to update the site at least once a week, or even more often. I'll try to write something every week even if it's just a short topic.
This is my first post, issue #1, my intro, welcoming you to HomeStudioGuide.com. This is still a brand new site, but I hope you'll support this site by telling your friends and buddies about it and visiting us once in a while.
