Beginner

I'm a fairly accomplished musician (guitar, bass, keybords, etc), and have been playing in bands for years. I'm a complete novice at home recording, which is now what I want to get into. Can anyone suggest a good overall "primer" or beginner's overview book, or other resource to get the big picture in terms of systems, process, equipment, etc?

Check out this:

www.homerecordingconnection.com/news.php

The Recording Tips section on this here site is a good place to start...Im sure there will recommended books on here someplace tae.

Start with the articles tho - they are a good place to start and written by some real good people from this site.

Welcome and good luck...

This site really is the best "primer" I can think of, and I don't just say that. With all the information on these pages you could write a few books on different subjects. Just ask any questions you have and we'll answer, and search the site.

For basics what you will need though is a recording medium (like a DAT or Computer), A mic and mic cable, A preamp or Mixer, A decent Soundcard, and something to listen to your music through, as well as the software.
