A Powerful Recording Tool

February 19, 2010 in Equipment Leave a reply

At MakingMusicPay.com we believe that you should not blow your money on studio time. Learning some basic recording skills is enough to lay down digital tracks. If your songwriting is solid: even a lightly produced piece of music will actually sell.

Our favorite starter investment is the Zoom R16 Multi-Track SD Recorder Interface and Controller. It can record all by itself and also upgrades nicely to work with a computer-based recording package such as our recommended Cakewalk Sonar & Ableton Live. A key part of achieving a world class sound is learning to use a condenser mic. Our recommended line of MXL mics, start at just $59.

Best all-round keyboard for performing and production: M-Audio Prokeyes Sono 88.

Best starting recording solution for guitarists. Line 6 POD Studio UX2.  Package includes a free copy of Ableton Lite to get you started recording on your computer.
