The Complete Home Music Recording Starter Kit

Studio time is expensive and all too often musicians end up making creative decisions based on that expense. The end product usually suffers. The home studio offers you the freedom to experiment with innovative ideas and work at the pace that is right for you.

The Complete Home Music Recording Starter Kit is a complete starter book/kit that includes a DVD with software from Sony and other major music manufacturers. It also includes training videos, royalty-free audio loop files, downloadable sound files and much more!

Throughout the book, tried and true steps are presented for creating the best environment for home music production. Creative techniques are covered throughout, and a copy of ACID Pro 7 is included on the DVD at the back of the book.

  • This sounds like a great package. It has all the ingredients to ‘cook up’ a first class studio environment.
    It’s a tough business creating top quality songs & music, that artists, record companies etc, really want.
    Songwriters and musicians need all the help they can get.

    So when you get it up and running, spare a thought for the ‘wordsmiths’ or should I say lyricists like me, who have an even harder job, finding the right songwriter/composers to work with.

    The very lyrics you want, to go with the wonderful music you’re going to create with this package, may well be found at:- http://www.the-right-page.blogspot.com
    Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

  • I am someone that spent thousands of dollars on equipment to record at home and ended up with demos that sounded about as good as my old demos done with a 4-track cassette recorder!

    I ended up selling everything.

    Wish I had something like this way back then.

    May buy the book and start from scratch again.

  • royalty-free audio loops are a definite bonus for those who thrive on samples. I’ve heard great things about ACID, so i’m sure the book would be a benefit for newcomers to the software.

American Idol finalist Casey Carlson seeks song

We have a great new opportunity with an amazing talent. Proving herself this year as one of the most promising vocalists in the country, American Idol finalist Casey Carlson now has her sights set on recording her first album. This highly anticipated work, supported by the hundreds of thousands of fans that watched her on Idol, is filling up fast with songs, but isn’t complete.

Casey Carlson needs your Country/Pop song! She has turned to Broadjam to find songs to record for the last two tracks on the album. Specifically, Casey is looking for songs reminiscent of a Taylor Swift or Colbie Caillat sound.

Submit your songs to this opportunity.
