Not so long ago the only access any musician had to producing their own material was to hire the facility of a professional recording studio. With the birth of affordable digital technology the home recording studio has taken off. It used to be that only a cassette based system was available, but now there is a wide range of digital equipment available.
Digital Studio Recorders
Digital recorders are now available with four tracks in pocket size from £169 or a massive 24 tracks for under a grand. The main advantage of using a digital recording device is that you can manipulate the recording with no loss of signal quality. Most have built-in effects and some even have a drum machine. These advanced units are now also extremely user friendly. For less than £500 you can get an eight track digital recorder with effects, drum machine and built-in CD writer, allowing you to produce a disc of your efforts once you are happy with it. Recording a great sounding demo isn't as hard as you might think - fame and fortune beckons.
