Just wanted to break from the music theory aspect and talk about tips for recording your own music at home. Besides playing live, one of the greatest sources of enjoyment for any musician is the ability to capture your greatest moments to preserve for all time.
With today's technology, there are so many great tools at incredibly affordable prices. For only a few hundred dollars, you can essentially have tens of thousands of dollars worth of instruments at your fingertips. The average person can capture a pro-sound that rivals Warner Bros. from the comfort of their own living room.
There are mainly four essential parts to your ideal home studio: Computer, Sound Card, Recording Software and Sound Software (Samples other wise known as Plug-Ins). Take your time and do the research on which is right for you. Hopefully this advice will give you a good head start.
1) Computer - You really want to go ahead and plan on spending around $1000 U.S. for a really fast computer with all the latest features.
2) Sound Card - Go ahead and get the highest sampling rate you can find. The Sound card will make the biggest difference in your sound of anything else.
3) Recording Software - There are many great packages to choose from like Cubase, and Pro Tools. Check out the features to see which is better for your situation.
4) Sound Software - I recommend getting a package with as many sounds as possible like the Komplete series. For a few hundred bucks, you get thousands of dollars of free instruments through virtual samples.
