Music Recording Gear: The Beatles Did “Please Please Me” On a Two Track. You Have It FAR Better!
Everyday, people spend thousands upon thousands of dollars for either 24, 48, or more multi-track recording devices and, even if they don’t, they’ll spend their money on Protools or Logic software (yes, I love them both but hear me out), only to have to do the training work worthy of a PhD to learn the programs, spend “oodles” of hard-earned money, and then record a piece of worthy music and vocals that didn’t require so much as a fraction of the total power. Just what is it, exactly, that I’ve said again and again (and will continue to preach)? It DOES NOT matter how you went about recording your song. No one can tell how you recorded it once it is complete, it is “no one’s business” and, most importantly, it is so much smarter, economical, and less time-consuming to keep it simple by SETTING UP a simple recording console that fulfills your needs as a Songwriter, Performer, or Band.
