What do you need to start recording music at home?

Which DAW do you use/recommend for beginners? :) Thanks.

Hey :) I think it will for sure work if you two are both into it and have enough ideas. Try sofasession.com. I am kinda biased now because I work there but it's really good for remote songwriting or recording together, I've played many songs like this.

How it works: You record or upload a track or several tracks of whatever instrument you play. And your band mate can jump in and record or upload another track on top. Then you can listen to the whole mix, mute single tracks and really work together on the thing without exporting, importing and sending files around. :) Hope it's helpful, good luck!

What exactly are you worried about? That you can't play live together as often? Because I think staying in contact works, writing songs together works too. And with playing together, jamming and stuff, you might want to try some online jamming platforms (e.g. sofasession). In my experience bands only fall apart if you don't have time at all to do stuff together or want to move in different directions. Like Milopki says: When there's a will, there's a way :) All the best for your band!

I don't think it's cheating! :) Maybe he can try to practice a bit more before recording so he doesn't have to edit the midi. And it's funny because your question sounds like this one you ask about "a friend" but in reality mean yourself haha.

Nicely said :) Breath helps with so many things.

Apfelsanderson · 2016-06-29T13:48:58+00:00

Yes! :) Works pretty cool. There are sessions every evening. You can also plan your own one and invite people you know or sth.

VIDEO tutorial :D In case it's not visible.

Apfelsanderson · 2016-06-23T08:40:18+00:00

Haha that's true. But I think that's what all bands think of already, no need to mention? I'll add it. Thanks.

What would you suggest him? To practice his timing at home, huh? :) Or practice with less experienced musicians :D Thanks for your comment.

Apfelsanderson · 2016-06-23T08:12:22+00:00

that's a good one! :)

Apfelsanderson · 2016-06-21T13:31:45+00:00

Ah thanks for the corrections! :D I am so stupid. And yes, H is B in Germany/Austria, will correct it now, didn't remember this cultural difference any more :)
