Do you play an instrument? Write songs? Got a band together? Played a few gigs? Ever wondered what comes next? If so, now is the time to get your music in front of a global audience—by getting it on to the internet. This handy, portable guide will advise you on the best way to record real-life signers and instruments, and it will explain how you can shape your recording into an effective piece of music that can be shared on the internet. There is a thrill to a recorded performance that really "happened"; it affects the listener in a way that freeze-dried samples and loops never can. Written by experienced insiders, this book covers all the basic equipment and skills you will need to get the job done at home, without hiring a sound engineer, record producer or studio.
