The best method to save recording cost is to have recording done at home. In fact, this is very popular nowadays and a lot of engineers prefer to work at home than using a professional studio.

This is very popular in indie music culture, such as myself; an independent recording producer. Learning recording is sometimes a difficult and time consuming process and this is a profession for those with excellent ears, patience, music lovers and perfectionist.

After learning recording for almost 5 years, I have made this blog to share all of my home recording and audio mixing tips. Before those 4 years, I studied electronics and audio engineering that gives me theoretical background. But after studying, I find it hard to practice in actual scenario because I do not have the gears, studio and room to record.

If you have this type of problem, this is normal, and when you plan to pursue a career in audio recording profession and committed to learn then this blog is for you.Below are the benefits from being a reader in this blog:

a. Learn the very basic in professional home recording processes.

b. Know how to setup your own home recording studio with the least amount of resources and budget but not sacrificing audio quality.

c. Learn how to mix different types of rock band instruments in a professional way (such as mixing guitars, vocals, bass and drums).

d. Understand the process involved in audio mastering as well as the technology behind it.

The very good thing of doing your own recording aside from saving a lot of money is experience and skills. If you can be consistent about the quality of your produced sound, it is highly possible you can have a bright future in audio and sound engineering. This means to say that other people in the industry will like to work and do business with you.When you are about to develop your career in recording industry, you can be one of the following:

a. Recording producer- this is the manager of the music production process that oversees the overall recording session. Producers are what makes the song hit. This is because; producers have great skills to spot great songs, great artist and great recordings to make it a hit. As a start a producer needs a songwriter to supply the songs, an artist to sing, and a studio to record those songs. As a great requirement for great advantage, the producer should need a studio to do the work.

b. Mixing/Recording engineer- the most technical person that deals with mostly with sound and its engineering. The engineer simply gets instructions from the producer what type of sounds are the output. This can be done by showing to the engineer some referenced commercial CD to get some idea of what the final mix should sound. The engineer then start recording one by one in multi tracks those instruments as instructed by the producer.



The engineer should make sure all of those tracks are properly recorded or else, there will problems in the mixing process. When this is done, the engineer will now start to mix the tracks and the producer will review the mix and comment if necessary.

c. Mastering engineer- The function of this engineer is to polish the resulted mix down and convert it to standard quality recordings acceptable in the industry.

The CD bought in stores are master recordings, this means all the sound are properly adjusted so that it will listen very nice in all forms of audio equipment. Now this could be harder as there is different audio equipment. Mastering is simply getting the loudest volumes without ruining the mix.
