I can teach you how to make high quality recordings on your computer.

The first recorder I used was a 5” reel to reel with a small square microphone. Recordings were recognizable but not musical. A better microphone made a large improvement.

A Sony 1/4” machine with “sound on sound” opened up a new world, multi-tracking. Multi noise followed shortly.

Eventually used 8 tracks became affordable, however tape was expensive. An outboard mixer and effects were required.

The cassette multi track was compact and cheap to operate but didn't have the sound of the 1/2” 8 track. With care good recordings could be made, noise reduction made a world of difference. A separate mixer and effects were still required.

Condenser microphones from asia have made condenser mics affordable.

A steady hand, a good soldering iron, and $5 worth of caps can make a good cheap mic into a better cheap mic.

Home studios are now affordable, compact and sound great. Mixing and effects are part of the recording software.
