Cabin Fever Combat - Chapter Three
|With any luck and without the normal distractions you encounter at home, a quiet hotel room can often provide you with a good place to focus on a piece of music. When I first approach a new selection or go back to tighten up a tune already under my fingers, I spend many hours visualizing the music - running it through my head while not playing my guitar and then locking in the visual while playing.

Mastering is the last creative step in your album project before you burn the final CD used for duplication. After recording mixes of your songs on your computer's hard drive, you'll put together a CD album or demo of those mixes. Here are some ways to do that.
4-Track Recording with the Zoom H4
|
This simplified guide explains the procedures for 4-track recording with the Zoom H4 and its supplied recording software, Cubase LE.
