Home Recording Is Easier And Better Than Ever With New Technology!
Most modern home recordings are made with computers or workstations and both of these items have really simplified the whole process. They have truly changed the way a studio looks and operates. Instead of requiring ten, fifteen, twenty or more pieces of gear to get the job done, now you only need just a couple. The racks of equipment that would eat up the space of a large room now all exist in a virtual, software environment which quite conveniently fits inside your computer or workstation.
What's even better is that they all synchronize and connect with each other virtually as well. Making the virtual connections usually only takes a few seconds and requires little knowledge or experience. It's as easy a pushing a few buttons (or a few mouse clicks as it were).
In the early days of digital audio, the gear was still all hardware based and often required extensive knowledge of connectivity. A lot of the times it even required converting one type of digital audio to another. Almost all of this has been bypassed with modern home recording. And before digital audio all together, it was an absolute nightmare to get the gear all working properly and synchronized. The difficultly of operating a studio back then is where the term engineer came from. You actually had to be an engineer to do the job.
So once you have the gear, what you need most next is an understanding of the basics of sound recording and connections. A lot of people want to over complicate this issue, but it's actually pretty simple. If you learn the most important principles of sound recording, then you'll be able to apply them to most any situation with a high degree of success.
Learning the principles is the best way to understanding sound recording because it will allow you to be more creative for artistic sake and more creative when you need to record something unusual (like a new instrument you've never recorded before). As a studio owner myself, I rely on the principle to get me by because I'm constantly encountering new recording situations.
As far as connections go, like I said, it's been massively simplified due to the fact that most of the connections are done in the virtual realm now. What you need to know about connections is easily understood in just a few minutes because it mostly has to do with a few digital connections you might need and a few analog connections dealing with mic cables, guitars cables and similar.
Learning to use your gear is only a matter of experimentation, reading the manuals or using some book or tutorial course to bring you up to speed. Since all the modern recording equipment has been designed to be as close to push-button easy as possible, it's not difficult to figure out your gear and most of it is pretty intuitive. Generally things are designed to simulate real gear, such as mixing boards and processors. Most musicians have at least a little experience with this stuff so it's usually immediately obvious how something works.
