Home Recording

Home recording guides from Sandy Music Lab show you how to set up a home studio and record guitar, bass and vocals, covering audio interfaces, mics, DAWs, latency and room treatment.
Start with the complete home recording studio setup or, if you mainly play guitar, the beginner guitar recording setup. Then pick your tools: audio interfaces, free DAWs, dynamic vs condenser mics and studio monitors.
Step-by-step guides cover miking an acoustic guitar, recording electric guitar, recording vocals at home and fixing latency. When the tracks are done, the Mixing & Mastering section below takes you through the mix.
