Читать книгу Home Recording For Dummies - Jeff Strong - Страница 59

In the following sections, I help you start thinking about the best system configuration for your needs. Whether you’re an electronic musician who only needs a sequencer, some MIDI instruments, and a two-track recorder, or you’re a purist who wants 16 tracks of simultaneous recording and needs dozens of microphones to record your whole band live, I help you figure it out.

Because I don’t know what type of recording you want to do, I outline three basic systems to give you an idea of what may work for you. You can see a system that works well for both live recording and MIDI sequencing, a system for MIDI sequencing and the occasional instrument or vocal overdub, and a live rig that contains little or no MIDI instrumentation. This is only a starting point, but as you shop around for a system, you’ll be able to find a setup that best meets your needs.

You can configure your home recording system in almost unlimited ways. Part of what will influence your decisions is your initial budget and how you like to work. Look around and talk to other people who have a home studio. Join an Internet forum and discover the different ways that people are recording — find out what works for them and what doesn’t. Then jump in and don’t look back. The most important component in your studio is you!
