Hard drives, for storing your recordings, have also become a lot cheaper in recent years and devices such audio interfaces, for connecting your musical instruments and microphones to your computer, continue to get better giving you greater value for money, even at a budget.
This book will give you a broad overview of the whole process from setting up your home recording space to making your music available to the public, while giving you recommendations on affordable hardware and software to help you get there without spending a fortune.
