Where do I get it?
- Your local music store will have them for sale or for rent (or rent to own)
- I suggest renting one before buying one because you will not know exactly what you need until you try it. You can avoid over or under buying by renting first and getting familiar with them. You may outgrow your first one or it might be right for your. You will know if you want it after a few weeks.

Where do I get it?
- Your local music store will have them for sale or for rent (or rent to own)
- I suggest going to your local music store and asking for someone who 'knows' microphones. Explain what you will use it for most (i.e. recording acoustic guitar, vocals, etc).
- Get a stand too. It is only a few extra bucks and it will come in VERY HANDY!!

Anatomy
of a Home Studio Book (not sheet music). Size 9x52 inches.
Published by Hal Leonard. (330346) See more info... |
Step One
- Plug your microphone into one of the inputs and record a simple beat. This will not necessarily be part of your final product but it will give you a tempo to follow.
Step Two
- Plug your microphone into a different input (different track).
- Rewind the tape.
- While listening to the beat that you just laid down, record your basic rythm acoustic or electric guitar part.
NOTE: You can plug your guitar directly into your recorder but DO NOT plug your amp into the recorder. Most people get best results by using the microphone to record the sound of their acoustic or the sound coming out of their amp.
Step Three
- Plug into a third input and replay what you just recorded while laying down a bass track.
Step Four - Mixing Down
Mixing down is simply putting the four tracks together into two tracks (stereo) in a form that can be played on a regular cassette plalyer.
- Using the output jacks on your 4-track recorder, connect it to the input jacks of a simple home audio cassette recorder.
- Play the tracks and record on the home audio cassette recorder adjusting the following things:
- Level Slides - the individual volume level of each track with respect to the others
- Panning - controls where the sound will seem to be in the stereo soundfield
- Equalization - controls how much the bass and treble is boosted or cut
- Effects Send Level - the amount of effect to be applied to the tracks
Congratulations!!! - You are now ready to make copies and sell them.
