Mac Home Recording Power!

Ben Milstead1592000517

Home Recording Power! has everything amateurs to experienced musicians need to know to make music at home. The emphasis is on using a home computer as the central part of the recording studio and a few reasonably priced software applications, and carefully chosen sound equipment. The book covers the popular software, SONAR, Sound Forge or ACID in the examples. The book takes the reader from start to finish–from conception to final publication via traditional distributed media and the Internet. Every page has usable information that makes sense to real-world users with real-world budget.
