Home recording
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Home recording is any sort of non-professional recording technique that has lately been employed due to the rapid popularity (and bargain prices) of digital and analog recording equipment. One can have one's own semi-professional recording studio, depending on the quality and extent of their equipment, in the comfort of one's own home as opposed to paying a larger studio by the hour for their services. Home recording may include (or be completely performed upon) a personal computer (PC) which allows for upgrade prospects and high-definition, studio-grade and digital recording mixing.
It has grown so much in the past few years that some professional recording studios are turning to utilizing personal computers, ADAT or DAT systems (or the very popular DigiDesign tools available on the market), Multitrack Recorders, and various instruments either acoustic or synthesized as opposed to the traditional console setup. For a small amount of money, the proper recording equipment, and sound-proofed settings, basically anyone can have their own recording studio without ever having to walk out the front door.
