With all this talk about artists focusing on writing new material and recording, why not try it yourself for fun. You do not need a fancy Grammy award winning studio either! What you really need is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and something to record with. There is this stigma to recording music that one needs to have top of line mixer boards and speakers that you see in videos and movies; this is untrue. Although more tools help, the essentials are simple. If you have an iPhone, you have got a head start already. Apple products have access to Garageband which is a DAW that is easy for beginners to use. Have headphones with a microphone attached? You’ve got your microphone. Take some practice with learning how Garageband works and this should allow you to record some simple work like acoustic projects or looped beats.

If you are advancing to record some more serious stuff, here is a list made on ehomerecordingstudio.com that will help! Tools like studio monitors and interfaces come into play to help get organized and start creating solid work. But still, you do not need to spend thousands of dollars to create! Find what is in your budget and use your inspiration, really hoping to see some new artists in the next few months!
