Hi Everyone,

In this lesson I'm tackling an important question: should you learn to record yourself? If so, how involved should you get? Should every musician have a home studio or should every musician go to their local pro studio for recording?

I compare the cost of home recording vs the cost of pro studios, how much time it takes to learn to record at home, how to prepare for a recording studio session, and just generally what to expect depending on what path you choose.

What kind of person are you? Are you more of a DIY home studio person or would you prefer to book studio time with a professional engineer?

If you've been working on your own home studio, feel free to share pictures and recordings on the community forum.

Hi Scott, I liked your video. Thank you. Recently I studied audio engineering at SAE. All the recording and mixing stuff there broad me closer to my musicality on guitar. I had to learn frequencies and how the work together and this made my ear better for guitar playing. Interesting, isn´t it ;-) Maybe a side-effect.

This is an excellent point! Learning recording software, EQ, and compression has forever changed the way I see and hear my guitar.

Hey everyone - this was my first scripted video ever. It was kind of fun and I'm still getting the hang of the teleprompter, but it was a nice change of pace. Just thought you might enjoy knowing that, I guess!

Not sure if you need it one. More natural lessons with more a talk feeling Is always better, for me, to get the message into my head. Let the teleprompter for politicians and CNN guys who just talk unnecessary stuff. But if you had fun with it... do it.
