Introduction To Audacity

Several months ago, I wrote an article discussing the basics of setting up a home studio for the first time. I gave quick rundown of the primary hardware such as a soundcard, cables, and the guitar setup. I also briefly mentioned some software packages that could be used on your computer to capture and edit your music. This article is the first of several to help get you get started with a few recording packages. Today we are going to look at Audacity.

Basic Home Recording Setup

This article was inspired by Emily (Em)  and the fact that a lot of people are writing good material, but just not recording them. Many of you will have a computer, but little or no studio type software or hardware.

But don’t worry - this article will show you how to make the most of your home computer for recording. It is mainly the basics of setting up your gear - but we will cover a little basic recording towards the end.
