Episode show notes:
Today we're going all the way back to day one of the home recording journey and talk about how to get started recording your own music.
We've been covering some pretty advanced topics, lately, so let's take a step back and discuss what we would do if we were to start over.
There's so much that goes into recording your own music that it can seem pretty overwhelming. And many people really don't need to hear about the advanced stuff everybody seems to talk about.
They just want to know: "How do I start? What gear do I need, how do I set it up and how do I get those first recordings onto my hard drive?"
This is part two were we cover how to set up your DAW and interface, so you can start recording and avoid the most common mistakes
Here's a step-by-step plan for you:
1. Set up the DAW & interface (Sample rate, I/O, interface control software, etc.)
2. Understand basic functionality and layout of DAW (editing window & mixer, project folders, file locations)
3. Make sure signals go in and out of your computer and interface
4. Avoid clipping and use the correct inputs of your interface
5. Figure out how to record without latency
On the episode we talk about exactly what to do at each step, of course.
Let's walk you through this!
