Instructions
Step 1
If you can afford it, rent a professional studio to create your first album. In this case, you will be provided with high-quality equipment, a room adapted for sound recording, as well as the services of sound engineers.
Step 2
Practice shows that it takes at least two months to record one disc. If music is not your main activity, feel free to multiply this period several times, since you can visit a recording studio only in your free time.
Step 3
On the basis of many rehearsal points, there are recording studios. If a professional studio is your option, be prepared to shell out 500-1000 rubles per hour of recording. Typically, this price includes post-mixing services.
Step 4
Tech lovers have the option to equip their own home studio. However, this recording option is not free either: you will need certain equipment. The specific list of devices depends on what tasks you set for yourself.
Step 5
Any studio consists of three main blocks: a sound acquisition module (a microphone for voice and instruments with pickups), a recording, processing and mixing module (a mixing console and multichannel tape recorders, the functions of which are successfully performed by a computer), and a sound reproduction module (amplifier and speakers - speaker system).
Step 6
After evaluating your budget and consulting with sound engineers you know, try to collect the necessary minimum at home. To record acoustic instruments and voices, you will need to allocate a room with improved soundproofing characteristics. It is better to start with simple tracks - from three to four tracks (drums, guitar, bass, voice or keys), gradually complicating the compositions.
