    Which monitors do I choose?

    Thanks for everyone's response. It looks like I'm going to go with the Yorkville YSM1P or the Yamaha MSP5. I'd like to to listen to both of them out before I make the decision. It's the right price range and I believe the quality will suit me fine. My favorite comment was " "The fact is...

    Which monitors do I choose?

    WHICH MONITORS DO I CHOOSE? I'm convinced that I need monitors and I need to stop relying so heavily on my headphones. I've been using just my headphones since I started recording (August 2003). My"studio" is the extra bedroom on the 2nd floor of our house...approximately 12 x 12...typical...

    A nice site for newbies with any kind of recording/music questions

    I spent hours exploring www.studiocovers.com. It has links to a lot of excellent information...especially for newcomers. Check it out! It's nice! I'm less inclined to send a question via email since I'm in discovery mode right mode. If there's something very specific I need to ask, I may...

    Newbie Hello!

    I've been lurking for a week or so and I think it's high time I introduce myself. I'm really impressed with homerecording.com. I keep finding myself coming back for more. Not sure why, but when it comes to me, I'll let everyone know. I've been wanting to record some original music for some...

    Short list of gear to avoid at all costs.

    Whew! I'm a newbie and I'm glad I don't have any of the gear your listed. In fact, I've never even heard of any of the gear you listed. Maybe ignorance is bliss. J

    Ditto to everything that's been said. I've been writing songs for more years than I care to admit and a few of them are actually worth hearing more than once or twice. Most of them are written on old hotel stationary or recorded on a cheap cassette player in a bar somewhere in Wisconsin. Truth...

    why is computer recording so popular?

    This summer I decided to make the jump into amatuer home recording. I decided to invest in "computer recording" gear because it's less intimidating to me (during the day I'm a software developer). I also believe it less costly to get started. That being said, it's possible that I've been...
