How Is a Great Audio Recording Like a Good Cup of Coffee?
It takes a bit of skill and the right knowledge to record audio that sounds good. And the knowledge I refer to is really quite basic, though I was having a hard time coming up with a good metaphor to explain it without having to use overly-technical terminology. So I asked my wife to help me out, and she likened audio to coffee. The more we drew comparisons, the better the analogy between audio and coffee seemed to work. So I’m trying this theory out on my unsuspecting readers. I hope that you will let me know (via the comment form below) if this fails spectacularly. So without further ado, I give you the coffee-recording analogy.
Just like it isn’t that easy to make a really good quality audio recording, it isn’t that easy to make a great cup of coffee. Anyone can make a bad cup of coffee…even a so-so one. In fact a quite large number of people do it every single day. The same is true for audio recording (a quick visit to YouTube will confirm this). But both tasks seem so simple.

The Technology of the Digital Audio Recorder
?
There are many different types of audio recorders out there whether it be just a regular recorder, or something more to help someone. The regular recorders out there are meant for things like just recording voice, or maybe some other type of sound, but the digital audio recorders are meant for way more then just recording someones voice. These type of recorders can be used for many different things like you can record music to them, maybe you went to a music concert, and you wanted to record the concert, with a digital audio recorder you can do just that. This device allows you to record crystal clear sound, with a small and portable device. Read the rest of this entry »

PC Recording Software – The Two Types Needed For Home Audio Recording
PC recording software has a lot different types and capabilities. What I want to focus on here is software you can use to record music or voice overs onto your computer. That narrows it down to two categories of audio recording software: programs to use for “tracking” or getting the sound into the PC or Mac, and programs used for editing audio after it has been recorded.
Audio Tracking Software
I should mention that there is considerable overlap between the two kinds of program I am describing, but the main distinction is that one is primarily used to record the sound (music, voice over, etc.), and the other is primarily used to modify the audio in some way, usually by altering the actual audio file (destructive editing). For audio tracking you will absolutely want the ability to multitrack. What I mean by this is that you need to be able to record one item on one track (say, an acoustic guitar), a second thing (say, a singer’s voice) on a second track that will play back AT THE SAME TIME as the first track, etc.
