I am interested in setting up a basic, yet professionally sounding recording studio at home. I will be producing CD's for my clients. Most of them will be done with basic voice audio with music lead-in. Nothing fancy initially. I just want it to be easy to operate and sound professional. I am presenly using Roxio Media Player 7. What magazine should I purchase to get familar with this subject. I dont know where to start. Thank you,

Electronic Musician and Guitar Player are good magazines. Sound and vision magazine sucks. Modern Recording techniques by David Miles Huber will teach you the basics. It's used as a text book in lots of schools. And like notbradsohner said, you can learn it all right here.

I would check your local community college. Many offer recording classes both at night and durning the day that would give some good hands on help.

Recording, EQ and Electronic Musician all have good advice articles & gear reviews. You can learn alot on this site by reading about gear, etc. If you ask clear precise questions, most people on this site will be helpful and many have much knowledge to share. In addition, most public libraries have at least some books on recording.

The "User Review" section at Harmpny Central can provide insight to what gear people like & don't like (not much on actual recording gear & mics) but quite a bit of feedback on rack effects.

The best piece of advice I can offer is - do your research and buy wisely. You'll find many people who buy gear will attest " buy cheap, buy twice'!!!

I read to fast, I thought your thread title was: Behringer. This place is awesome for info. Use search a lot, and post questions and try to answer someone's questions, it gets you more involved to have virtual personal contact and you study the responses more and you double check your own facts. And my own advice is the book, "Behind the Glass." I couldn't put it down, for two reads. I highlighted probably 80% of it. Also read Mixerman's wacky story over on psw.
