recording studio, or home recorder?
613897
If you can find a small, semi-professional recording studio, it is both easier and cheaper to do it there.  My band has tried both...we ending up spending a TON of money to do a live recording of one show.  When we recorded our demo disc for the press pack, we went to a small studio one of our friends recommended.  The guy did an outstanding job, we cut 5 tracks in a day and a half, and the whole thing cost about $600.  I guess it depends on how much recording you plan on doing, and how involved in the process you plan on being.  The home studio stuff is expensive, but it's a one-time investment.  If you're going to record a lot of your stuff, that might be the way to go.  Good luck!

for now it doesnt matter what city you live in, every city has a recording studio. go make your demo then send it EVERYWHERE, every genre of music you can think of. The first step though is making your demo. I would do that before you even consider moving. Becuase you may move to cali, work on your demo and someone in NY wants to sign you. make the demo first lol no record comapy is gonna consider you without it. also go play at local bars and clubs to get your name out there, go play at festivals and building openings- get yourself known! I dont know what kind of music you are trying to do but my friend is a producer and I can give you his contact info but only contact him AFTER you have a demo or he will kill me lol

You can use Audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net ) to record a audio without a mic. \nAbout the quality, if you record from flash video i think its normal. Because usually audio and video on flash use small bitrate to reduce file size and increase the download speed.

Audacity is free and will do more than garage band on many tasks. It's interface isn't as purty but do you want make music or not?\n\nSonar has relitive inexpensive versions. I'm not a big fan of Cubase but alot of people use it. Both can be found for under $100 in some music stores. \n\nYou'll need the hardware to bring the sound in as well. Depends on what instrament(s) you are talking about. Most soundcards don't have good quality inputs. You may want to get a break out box as well. If you can't afford both grab Audacity and spend the money on the hardware.

How are you recording?

A studio should be supplied with a variety of microphones.  Even the SM57 Shure has a real place in a studio when recording a guitar amp through a microphone.  There is no one microphone that is a "do everything" microphone in a studio.  Only through trial and error will you find the right one for each application.

I've won auctions on Ebay for studio hours at a recording studio for about thirteen bucks an hour. There are plenty of people who'll do it out of their home cheap as well.  I also have a little Boss digital multitracker which is really cool for good quality recordings.  These cost only two hundred or so nowadays. Good luck!

there is a free protools download available (demo version I think), but I believe it limits the number of tracks you can record (8 I believe)

If you go through a professional studio, it could cost hundreds (studio time, CD materials, printing, mastering, mixing).  If you do it bootleg at home, it could cost next to nothing.  You could probably get a decent one done for much less than $100 if you have everything ready to go and you don't have to pay a producer to make the music for you.

I'll assume that this is for a small in home type studio...\n\nThe first thing you'll need is a room the is setup for it...  This means a room that has good audio insulation...  This can be as simple as using a soft packing foam to cover all the walls and the ceiling, and a good soft/thick rug on the floor(you don't want echo's that are unintentional)...\n\nNext is the ability to record, Personaly I would use digital recording into a computer...  You can use a piece of equipment like this:\nhttp://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Firepod/\nto get many different mic lines into the computer, then use software (sorry, I don't have a piece of software that I know of off the top of my head, but if you call at sweetwater they can tell you a good one), it can even record each input seperatly to that you can listen and mix them after the fact(mixing means setting the volume of each channel to get the sound you want).  If you use a good software you can add effects too(such as delay's or echo's and other things)...\n\nNext would be speakers and an amp (or powered speakers, that's where the amp is built into the speakers), this way you can listen to the recording.  you want good speakers so that you can hear what it will realy sound like.  for listening to the recording and mixing, you don't want to use headphones because that wont sound how it'll sound in a sound system unless you use realy expensive headphones, and with headphones like this you can't have multiple people listening at the same time and be able to talk about it...\n\nNow, for while your recording, if you have a group (like a band) they might want to be able to hear the other people playing (such as an electric guitar), but you don't want to have any speakers turned on in the recording room while recording because that can cause feedback, or echo's.  For a situation like this they would need to wear headphones, and you can use a system that is made by Aviom for this.  They have this at sweetwater as well, and the way that works is to just plug in the instrament into the aviom directly, then it has a through put to plug into the digital recording system.  With the aviom, it takes all the imputs, digitizes them into it's own format, then you can use that to have any of the people having what ever they want in their own headset.  Look at Aviom.com to get more information about their system.\n\nI've been using live mixing and recording equipment for almost 10 years and would be happy to help out more, my email address is my user name here @ yahoo.com

Yes it is! Try using a program like "All Sound Recorder" or something similar. There are all kinds of "What You Hear" type recorders out there and you can probably get the free trial to handle the sound you want to record. Hope this helps. :)

If you're running Windows, you can use the Sound Recorder. Located under the Start Menu > Accessories > Entertainment. It comes with Windows so you don't need to pay more.

Im a recording studio owner and engineer, i suspose if you mail em me i can have a listen, main differance is i'll be listening through £10000 moinitors which will revel things that were'nt obvious to your self at the time of mixing, also a properly acousticly treated enviroment will revel things that you missed. ......but thats why mastering engineers exist .....but if you want me to have a listen message me and i'll give you my email addy....Si
