Been trying to dabble with recording for years on audacity and still have an old tascam recorder, but want to take it past beginning level. Which is best between computer recording and stand alone recorders and are there any tutorials for getting started with home recording? Thanks
It is your choice. Both work well.
You do need to import the stand alone recording into the computer to edit mix master and make cds from.
There are a number of books. Mostly old but still good enough. Although some of them are truly bad.
Check the reviews on amazon. I think there is a dummies book on home recording that got good reviews.
After that you may want to see specialized books for your DAW although audacity is simple enough you should not need it for that one but if you switched someday then you would want some guidance to start.
Other areas might be midi, terminology, how to mix, and other technical areas.
Or ask SPECIFIC questions and you can usually get answers on a forum.
There are a few , very few sites , that will give you a good start with home recording.
The 9 Home Recording Studio Essentials for Beginners
has some very basic overview info.
This is pretty good with more info

There is one really good site I can picture in my memory but cannot find.
connected somehow to zzounds and covers everything in a bit more detail than the sites above
maybe if you googled for items of interest or with your questions it would pop up for you.
So far I cant find it again although although I saw it last week.
Found it!
just had to google smarter
