This blog goes hand-in-hand with my “Pro Techniques for Home Recording” Ebook (available here on my site), and my book/CD-ROM “Big Studio Secrets for Home Recording & Production” published by Course Technology/Cengage Learning (available here).
In this blog (and of course in the ebook and book/CD-ROM), you’ll find practical tips, tricks, and “secrets” that you can apply to improve your home recordings. Some tips are DIY projects requiring a trip to the Home Depot, others may require a certain piece of gear, and yet others are approaches to tracking or mixing that simply require a bit of elbow grease. Have fun! -joe
