| Recording Tips
I have dedicated this section of the JimmyEther.com site to providing tips for getting the most out of your home recordings. For years, I have been a strong supporter of the do-it-yourself movement. I think it's wonderful that nearly anyone with enough passion, dedication and talent can put together a great release from the relaxed atmosphere of their own home studio. However, producing a quality recording can take a great deal of knowledge, experience, and time. I am providing these tips to help you avoid common mistakes, debunk misconceptions, and provide some conceptual framework for you to consider when approaching your recordings. All of the information is of course my own personal opinion based on over 10 years of professional engineering and production experience as well as nearly 15 years of experience as a home recording artist. Opinions run rampant in the audio industry, so many people may disagree with some of my methods and concepts. That is fine by me, and I in fact invite debate on any issues with which you may disagree (there's nothing I love more than discussing recording). I have set up the JimmyEther.com forum for the discussion of recording and mixing techniques as well as any questions you may have about preparing your release. I also keep a recording journal in which I discuss whatever interests me with regard to the world of audio, and you can always comment on my entries as well. I look forward to talking with you.

Trying to set up your own home studio can seem like a daunting task. Choosing equipment, designing and treating your recording environment, and wiring up your gear are the major issues facing you. Your overriding concern is probably how to do all this while staying within your budget. In this section I address the critical needs of the home studio, the pros and cons of various recording formats, and how to set up your studio to best suit your needs.

Don't skimp on the monitors!
Microphones aside, your control room monitors are the most important instrument you will use. You can't make any accurate decisions without accurate monitors and proper placement! | |
