Discover The Secrets of Selecting Sound Recording Studio Software & Equipment
Gain Freedom to Focus on Music Creation & Bypass Everyone Else
Tangled in the Technology Trap! Dear Fellow Musician,
Ever wondered how some sound studio owners can consistently create great tracks? From a small private studio? Maybe in their bedroom or basement? Like Calvin Harris?
Do you know what the most frequently asked question on sound recording forums is?
- It's - "What should I buy?"
And the second most common question?
- "How can I fix this?" In fact, it's clear that many wannabe music producers spend (waste!) a huge amount of time on catching up with the latest gear, trying to figure out how to use it, or worse, trying to diagnose and fix it - instead of applying their creative talents to music composition, performance, or sound recording and production.
Problem is, the recording industry (i.e. you!) suffers from too much: - Product choice: for example, the Musician's Friend catalog has >40,000 items
- Complexity: for example, Apple's Logic Studio 8 contains a huge range of studio and live applications, samples, and tools
- Rapid change: buy a synth today, and it's out of date before you get is set up in the studio...
- Technology Hype: the software suppliers and equipment manufacturers naturally want you to belive it's cool to always have the latest gear. But how many of us can afford it...?
But in spite of that... You Can Select the Right Sound Studio Set Up
for Your Kind of Music But before I get into how, imagine you're the owner of a project Studio. Your band uses it regularly to make demo masters, and you compose signature tunes for TV and radio productions. You're comfortable operating the studio equipment. And there's enough space for your regular use, plus some sessions for other local up-and-coming musicians.
You're getting noticed - sales are growing nicely on-line, and you are in demand for TV and radio work. Maybe you'll be the next Calvin Harris! And the income from the bands helps make life more comfortable...
Can this really happened? You bet it can, and it does!
You see, successful project studio owners have a combination of skills - which allows them to focus on music creation, performance, and production. Not the technology, or the tools of the trade.
Every modern studio owner will recognize there are four basics: - Space - sufficient for, and dedicated to, the purpose
- Sounds - sources (live or computer generated), and the means of capturing them
- Software - to control and enhance the sound, to direct the signal flow, and the overall production process.
(Of course you need equipment and systems to run your software) - Skills - to make good use of the space, to organize sound sources, and to operate the studio systems.
And Now For the Secrets The Suppliers Didn't Want You to Discover!
- You can keep it simple
- You needn't spend a fortune
- You don't have to have all the latest tech gadgets
- You can release yourself from the burden of technology
- You don't need new gear
- You don't need to trade-in the old gear either...
It's not rocket science. - A few key decisions, well taken, has the potential to make it crystal clear what gear you need to buy, and how to avoid the issues "how do I use this?" and "how do I fix this?"
Hey, just to show you I know what I'm talking about, I'm going to share with you: - how I am able to get great audio gear for zero cost (legally)
- how I try out expensive gear I'm considering, at home, before making a final decision
