It Starts!

I finally got the very basics for my home recording studio!  I bought the Focusrite Scarlett Studio, which contains the Scarlet 2i2 USB audio interface, studio headphones, a mic, and connectors.  It also includes Cubase LE6 (recording/mixing software).

This is a very affordable way to get started recording, and works for both Mac and Windows.  Working at Guitar Center, I was able to get some great advice from coworkers with extensive knowledge in this type of stuff.  And, my employee discount made it even better!





This system is fabulous--through the interface I can record in real time with the music on my computer, there is no delay.  The mic has a nice, crisp and clear sound.  I played around with it today some, and I can't wait to explore more and find all the things I will be able to do!

I haven't started using Cubase yet, though it looks like a great program.  I was just too excited to start recording--it took a couple hours for me to figure out how to install all of the drivers, register the product and software, etc....and by the time I finished I just decided to start using GarageBand.  Eventually I will use it and will report my findings!

Watch out world, flute player Melanie has her own recording/mixing studio!  

As soon as I finish creating my first "mix" I will post it.  Until then, ciao!
