I bought a usb interface so I could hook up a guitar and synth and record directly into my pc because I have hundreds of little snippets I’d like to try to do something with, and holy shit recording is hard
Not sure if this is just the diy nature of it all but yeah it’s actually pretty disconcerting because I have some friends who do it no problem 🫠 maybe it’s just another thing that will take practice to get good
Anyone have tips? I was thinking of maybe starting with a cover of something
I would say record a lot with the intention of getting to know your equipment well, it depends a lot what you’re using to record and what kind of textures you’re trying to get. Listen back to it in different settings, in the car on different headphones, if you can get monitors that is always a step up. Mic placement is a whole thing that I don’t deal with much since I make electronic/sample based music but that might be worth watching some videos on if you’re trying to record percussion or acoustic instruments.
