Home Recording Software
Picking a home recording software can feel like a daunting task but I will break down the key points to keep in mind when choosing your home recording software. Key things to keep in mind when deciding on what software to use is first, make sure you know exactly what you want to achieve. For example, do you want to make beats, use midi, create sounds with synthesizers, record instruments or all of the above. Once you know specifically what you want to do with the software you next need to consider software compatibility, This means if you buy software for your home recording studio and later want to transfer your project to another studio to work on, will your files be compatible with other software. Another bit of detail to consider is whether you want to use a PC or Mac computer. When it comes to this decision people will have there own opinions which is fine but realistically there is great software for a home music studio on both PC and Mac. If money is an issue and you are on a PC don't feel like you cant continue creating your home music studio just because you don't have a mac computer. Since there are certain software that only run on mac or only run on PC make sure the software you choose will run with whatever platform you choose.
Another important consideration you should make before deciding on a home recording software is the audio interface. These devices connect to your computer with USB or Firewire so make sure your computer has usb or firewire depending on the audio interface. The purpose of these converters is to convert the analogue signals (wave forms) of an input source like an instrument into zeros and ones that a computer can understand and vice versa to take the zero and ones that a computer understands and spit it out your speakers in wave forms.
Whatever you do do not get too hung up on the details of home recording software, because the software is not the key to a successful recording. Whether you use garage band, protools, cubase, reason, Cakewalk, etc. does not mean the difference between a good and bad recording. At the end of the day your skills as an artist is what will make you sound great. Just keep in mind the things to think about before buying and make a decision that fits your budget and get started on RECORDING. Once you get used to using any home recording software that knowledge will transfer to any other kind of home recording software, so just get yourself started!
