Putting a Home Music Studio Together - Newby Guide - Part 1

Didn’t get that much practice done this last weekend mainly due to my exciting new purchase of an external USB sound card with

MIDI and guitar jack interfaces.

Everything was going smoothly until it came to calibrating the sound card, it seems that even when you can find the right input and output buffer levels to minimise latency and distortion it still finds a way of uncalibrating itself and throwing out distortion in the middle of putting down a track.  

Add to that the fact that my guitar is an electro-acoustic with a microphone inside it the card picks up all sorts of background noise including the cat mewing for attention in that way cats do when you’re engrossed in something on the computer..  

Well, I’ve overcome the sound card settings for now, so by this weekend it will be time to record a lot of the ideas I have then play over them with other ideas, add drums, bass and pretty much instrument I want.  

Before that I will be investigating how to best optimise a Windows based computer for music recording –  

Stay tuned
