Getting Started

To record yourself playing the guitar (and singing as well!) you need the following.

1. Something to record onto - a computer: a digital recorder: a tape recorder

2. Something to get the sound in - a microphone

3. Something between the microphone and the recording device to control the input - a mixer/mixing desk

If you use a computer to record music, you also need the appropriate software.


I'll go through these in greater detail, and give some examples and ideas for each in subsequent entries - I've put links to my own website (where the links page has various useful listings) and to a site where you can get software (often for free).
