Greetings Everyone,
I ran into this while searching for a bit of software. The PDF didn’t look ‘pro enough’ to me somehow, and I almost dismissed it and moved on. For some reason I decided to read a paragraph or two and quickly discovered I was quite wrong about my first assessment.
There are quite a few tiny spelling errors throughout but nothing that will detract from the context. It should have had a better proof reading.
What really makes me want to share this here and particularly with newer recording people is for two reasons: To begin with, this author is no famous pro being paid to write from some snazzy Hollywood studio stocked with a million dollars worth of gear that we will never touch. He is just your average mate trying to be helpful and writing in an upbeat, pleasing style.
The other, much more important reason is this chap has truly studied the tricks and tips of smart, low-budget digital home recording and also just happens to have a tonne of common sense. Moreover, as I continued to read about, I discovered many of his tricks and frugal methodologies were exactly the ‘cheap skate’ way I get things done and still sounding professional on little or no money when I’m home recording on my own. His advice and ideas in some parts are simply beyond clever, so I’ll link it here. You WILL pick up some ideas that will inspire you in this, I assure you!
Costs nothing to download and read a bit to see if it squares with your own processes and sensibilities, so I suggest this guide very strongly. It’s a fairly fast read as well. I suspect you will benefit. Cheers!
