Digital Recording 101 Primer
This primer introduces the basic concepts and terminology of digital recording.
Probably, like yourself, ever since I wrote my first song, I hoped I would get an
opportunity to record my music for others to hear, and hopefully enjoy.
When the time came time to make my first record, I was excited, but quickly discovered that it was an expensive proposition to record my music in even a small project studio. I was ill prepared for the cost of my mistakes: In my arrangements, my performances, my production decisions, and even in the way I used studio time as a practice time. I did not anticipate that every production mistake was going to cost me money, and I just did not realize that making a record was going to be so different from performing live.

So you want to record some of your music?
You've been playing for a while now, and your chops are pretty good. The problem is that you don't have a lot of money, and you don't really know many musicians. You think you can afford a couple hundred bucks... Maybe a little bit more... But you are not sure what you need, or where to start.
This tutorial will give you some general information that should help you get started on your journey, and help you to make some basic recordings, even on your tiny budget. Please keep in mind this tutorial will be very generic, and that you will need to put in some time to research and learn to use your equipment and sofware.
