Why not try to make some money with this specialized equipment and skill? If you have been trying but with no success, maybe there are a few adjustments you need to make. And if you haven't been, make sure to start out the right way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to make some money with your audio recording and producing service, you need to think about exactly what you have the capability and desire to do. Do you want to specialize in location sound recording, or post production mixing and mastering, or something else? Once you have this figured out, the only thing left is to find some clients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To do this, you need good demo material of course, but we are assuming that is in the bag already. What you need now is to get the word out about your service. If it's location recording you want to focus on, you should look for clients in the local area. Obviously you cannot record people on the other side of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not just that, you may want to check out the competition and get even more specific. If there are a lot of musical performances in your area you could specialize in recording those rather than things like conferences and other non-musical events. In order to stand out from the crowd, you need a specific and pinpointed service. With this in mind, you should look for websites that let you post service ads in your area like this one: &lt;a href="http://www.serviceslocal.net/location-sound-recording-in-marylandbaltimoredc/"&gt;baltimore dc sound recordist&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They key, with whatever it is you are trying to do, is to have a well thought out and integrated business idea. It is not enough to just say that you offer mixing services. That's too broad and a lot of other people already do as well. Get specific and find something unique to offer that matches your personal likes and skills. Try focusing on a certain type of music or a certain type of event. This is how you limit competition and increase your potential. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sites like this &lt;a href="http://serviceslocal.net"&gt;local service listing&lt;/a&gt; are a great place to start.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-4407618185905083274?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/4407618185905083274/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=4407618185905083274&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/4407618185905083274'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/4407618185905083274'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-make-money-with-your-recording.html' title='How To Make Money With Your Recording Gear'/><author><name>H.

That's what this site is all about. But there is still a general problem with how to effectively promote that music once it has been made. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best way to go about this may be to take a multi phased approach and just use whatever sites out there to help you that you can. One that has just started is a directory for &lt;a href="http://freeusemusic.net"&gt;free music to use&lt;/a&gt; in videos and other visual mediums. This is a pretty good idea because it can help filmmakers as well as musicians who want to get at least one of their songs out there for promotional purposes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The composers of the music do not get paid, but they do get their work out there which can lead to greater sales down the line. If the free music they provide on the site does get into some internet video that goes viral, that could mean a lot of free exposure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other side, more and more people are producing video and film works, and they all need music as well. Most of them do not have big budgets so this service obviously helps them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to make it as a creative producer on the internet, you need to use whatever you can and get a little creative. This site should be just one aspect of your promotional campaign.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-8184578236731130779?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/8184578236731130779/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=8184578236731130779&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8184578236731130779'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8184578236731130779'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2011/02/site-for-music-producers-to-promote.html' title='Site For Music Producers to Promote Their Music'/><author><name>H.

Thanks to all of the different websites and videos available online, there is not much that you can't learn. This is a great thing as it will mean more and more people able to produce high quality music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not the only site out there with information about music recording, even in a dorm room, so be sure to check out different sources to learn as much as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one really needs to go to expensive schools anymore. The whole point of universities in the first place was that they had equipment and facilities that you could not access on your own. This is no longer true of books, and while it is still true of some advanced sciences, its not even really true of music recording anymore. An individual can get their own equipment fairly cheap these days and be working with stuff just as good as in any studio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you are going to learn on your own, it require self motivation and the resourcefulness of getting information online.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-1559976755765590357?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/1559976755765590357/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=1559976755765590357&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/1559976755765590357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/1559976755765590357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2011/01/finding-free-information-on-music.html' title='Finding Free Information on Music Recording Online'/><author><name>H.

Although some pretty good methods have emerged, nothing really seems to be standing out as the best sure fire way. While it may need to be said that every music group or artists may have to find some personal way that works best for them, there are a few principles to follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first is that you have to advertise to the niche that your music fits into. There are just too many people out there making music to try and target everyone as a potential listener. But once you have found the niche to target, how do you go about doing this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One way is to get on some type of music review blog. You can either start your own or find one that is already established. These kinds of sites can list some music that is new or in a certain style and give a quick review. If you can make a music video for your song on YouTube, you can then send the link to a review site to publish something. This can be a great way to find listeners who are already fans of the type of music you make, which means they are more likely to enjoy your work.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-8831158057232551915?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/8831158057232551915/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=8831158057232551915&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8831158057232551915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8831158057232551915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-distribute-music-you-make-in.html' title='How to Distribute the Music You Make In Your Studio'/><author><name>H.

The site makes the point that this is a type of comic that is just getting started, as the possibilities for it are kind of new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The relation to dorm room recording and video production comes from the fact that this is another type of media that can be produced fairly low budget, and as such, people who are interested can take advantage of it to get their music out there, or just start producing something new that could be fun and rewarding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always be on the look out for new types of media that you can produce all from within your small apartment studio.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-5340929082326041846?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/5340929082326041846/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=5340929082326041846&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/5340929082326041846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/5340929082326041846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2010/10/video-comic-production-in-appartment.html' title='Video Comic Production In an Appartment'/><author><name>H.

The music obviously can be made on any number of programs, and the narration can be recorded with simple computer microphones.

Some people see this as a bad thing, and it can be, but overall it should be noted that more opportunities for more people to make music independently will only increase the variety and then the quality of the music available. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virtual sounds and other digital means can help people without big recording studios produce high quality music and have access to sounds that would be difficult to record live. It may cause some people to be lazy in their music writing or practicing, but it will also help the better composers as well, and invite more people into the dedicated art of music making. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is practical information for people looking to make music in a dorm room, as space is of the essence and these virtual instruments can really make things a lot simpler.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-1675801309102389225?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/1675801309102389225/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=1675801309102389225&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/1675801309102389225'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/1675801309102389225'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2010/08/virtual-sound-recording-studios.html' title='Virtual Sound Recording Studios'/><author><name>H.

In fact, in many ways, it would be easier to set up an editing suit in a dorm room. Recording may take space to record live instruments, where as editing video footage really only takes a nice computer setup. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a good laptop, the right software, and some decent speakers, you should have all you need to edit footage and add whatever graphics you know how to work. There are many people who are able to produce stuff like this &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0nfVI5Do8Y"&gt;video comic&lt;/a&gt; out of their dorms or apartments, and much more would definitely be possible. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A combined music and video studio could even be made to really have a full production house.

Virtual instrument plug ins are software programs that can take MIDI input such as that from a keyboard to produce sounds from other instruments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to this, you can also have a keyboard produce various other forms of sound effects.&lt;br /&gt;With these tools all coming from a simple keyboard and computer set up, you can achieve a lot with very little space. Using software instruments will also cut down on soundproofing being an issue, as you will never have to be actually recording instruments live in your room. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These forms of instrumental electronic music will be something to consider when setting up your dorm room studio. Make sure that you think about whether the type of music you want to make will actually be something that requires live recording space, as you can save a lot of time and money by not having to set up a live room. Not to mention all of the instruments, microphones, and other equipment pieces you will need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These days, more and more music can be produced with nothing but a computer, and for people dealing with limited space, such as college dorm room or apartment dwellers, this is good news.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-4029891523603950311?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/4029891523603950311/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=4029891523603950311&amp;isPopup=true' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/4029891523603950311'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/4029891523603950311'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2010/06/producing-instrumental-music-in-dorm.html' title='Producing Instrumental Music in a Dorm Room Studio'/><author><name>H.

In most cases, a private music teacher will be working in a limited amount of space, and their are several things they can do to take advantage of that space. The first thing that should be considered is soundproofing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most dorm room or apartment type rooms will have pretty poor soundproofing, both in terms of the sound that they let out, and the internal acoustics of the room. This can be a problem for someone who has students coming into the rooms and produce what might be too much noise for any neighbors that live nearby. There are several soundproofing solutions outlined in this blog and we will continue to discuss them here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides soundproofing, you want to set up your dorm room or apartment to have good internal acoustics and also a good speaker system that can have examples of songs played on it. Some of the things you can do include positioning furniture in certain spots so that it reduces the bass build up and clears up any sound going on in the room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are a music teacher working in a small space, the first step is to use this site to help get it setup, then it just comes down to finding a &lt;a href="http://musiclessonsdirectory.com"&gt;music lesson listing&lt;/a&gt; to start getting some students.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-9040906837835187354?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/9040906837835187354/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=9040906837835187354&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/9040906837835187354'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/9040906837835187354'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2010/05/music-teachers-and-dorm-room-studios.html' title='Music Teachers and Dorm Room Studios'/><author><name>H.

Luckily this instrument works pretty well in a small recording studio. The reason for this is that you can record a guitar with a line in and either include the effects while you are recording or add them to the signal once you have the track recorded. Even though recording with a line in will not give you the greatest guitar sound, the ability to change and work with the tone once it is recorded can make up for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have an acoustic guitar you want to record you will have to use a microphone or instal a quick electronic pickup in the sound hole. &lt;a href="http://guitarcustomization.blogspot.com"&gt;Guitar mods&lt;/a&gt; like this will come in handy for the recording process so you should have some around. The main thing with recording guitar is that you want to take advantage of the fact that you can do it all from the computer and not bring live sound into the equation, which means that you don't have to worry about making too much noise or having bad soundproofing affect the process.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-3974414214984523456?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/3974414214984523456/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=3974414214984523456&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/3974414214984523456'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/3974414214984523456'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2010/01/best-way-to-record-guitar-in-dorm.html' title='Best Way to Record Guitar in a Dorm'/><author><name>H.

The great thing about sample and loop based compositions is that they usually can be made without having to record live sound, and the mixing process is also much simplified because of this. This eliminates all of the hasles of recording live instruments in a dorm room and all of the soundproofing problems you may have. It will also save you time when you don't have to work on making live sound that has been recorded sound up to par.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hip hop productions are usually made with samples from older records and cds over a looping beat. The more modern hip hop production process usually means using a keyboard and midi instruments though. We have seen lately a trend in using really cheese synth sounds in hip hop to match the really cheesy rappers that are around now, but what are you going to do. Some of the best examples of modern hip hop production would be Cannibal Ox producer El-P and the late J Dilla. They don't use the cheesy synth and dance beats, they make the real hip hop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jazz influenced hip hop production is also a great area that is becoming more popular. Busdriver is one of the rappers who made big use of this in some of his albums in the past. &lt;a href="http://electronicjazztronica.blogspot.com"&gt;Hip hop jazz&lt;/a&gt; may be a new style that is developing out of the combination of the two that some people may want to check out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point is this kind of production work is perfect for a dorm room.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-2791852400946209225?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/2791852400946209225/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=2791852400946209225&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/2791852400946209225'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/2791852400946209225'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2010/01/producing-electronic-hip-hop-music-in.html' title='Producing Electronic Hip Hop Music in a Dorm'/><author><name>H.

I am not in a dorm room anymore per say, but I do live in a small apartment room so the same principles apply. What I use as the base of my studio is a Mac laptop. I really like macs for recording and audio setups as they just seem to perform better for media production and have all of the best software for those purposes. I have a laptop for portability and space concerns. These days, a nice laptop can handle even large scale video work, so it should be fine for any audio purposes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides the laptop, I have found that a small recording interface with a few mic inputs gets the job done fine for most recording purposes that you would attempt in a small area. There are many kinds available but the new presonus firestudio mobile is a really nice one that works off of bus power and makes a great addition to a laptop studio. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have a computer and recording interface you really just need to add in your MIDI keyboard and whatever other instruments you have to complete your recording capabilities. However, dont forget to spend some money on a good pair of studio monitors. These are very important as they will help you make good mixes and limit the amount of time you have to spend correcting mistakes you discover on mixes. A good pair of monitors will reveal all the detail in the audio to you so that you can make correct decisions in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One example of someone who has been able to produce albums all within a dorm room is &lt;a href="http://mfarkas.com"&gt;mike farkas&lt;/a&gt;, and it should be possible for everyone. With music technology being what it is today, the equipment is definitely available to make high quality music in a dorm room.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-3227510231592774738?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/3227510231592774738/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=3227510231592774738&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/3227510231592774738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/3227510231592774738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2009/12/example-dorm-rood-recording-setup.html' title='Example Dorm Rood Recording Setup'/><author><name>H.

This is a delicate instrument to record that will require at least one microphone. Add to that the fact that your environment must be completely silent to get a good take, and you see that a dorm room may not be the best place to record a guitar from southern Spain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have been on &lt;a href="http://southernspainvacations.blogspot.com"&gt;southern Spain tours&lt;/a&gt; and know of the type of music that is produced with these guitars, then you might see that it will require a lack of dorm room sounds. To accomplish this, you may want to try recording it at night, or at a time during the day where there are not a lot of people around. Hopefully you have some good soundproofing in your room to cut down on noise going both ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key thing to remember when recording a Spanish guitar is that you want to capture the details of the sound without catching environmental sounds. This is not the ideal situation for dorm room recording, but you should try to do what you can.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-7594777183308349832?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/7594777183308349832/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=7594777183308349832&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/7594777183308349832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/7594777183308349832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2009/12/recording-spanish-guitars-in-dorm-room.html' title='Recording Spanish Guitars In a Dorm Room'/><author><name>H.

It has been hard for people to figure out what would be the best way for people making music and videos to turn a profit because of illegal downloading and the general free nature of the internet. It is pretty clear that if there is any money to be made with video projects, it is going to be from advertising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully YouTube has made it so some of their broadcasters can share in the profits form advertising, and this is definitely a step in the right direction. Hopefully this kind of program will continue to be used and expanded so that more people can profit from their work and more work can be done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It benefits everyone to have more effective advertising on the internet so that the people improving the internet and adding content can devote more time and resources to it. A great site to check out that has articles and information on internet film news is right here, and it should continue to have some good information on the subject.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-3812697141642626197?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/3812697141642626197/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=3812697141642626197&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/3812697141642626197'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/3812697141642626197'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2009/12/making-money-with-music-and-film-on.html' title='Making Money with Music and Film on the Internet'/><author><name>H.

This can be done in a number of ways but some of the easiest are to have a lot of items like couches and beds in the room. It will also help to have a carpet on the floor as opposed to any kind of tiling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you play piano, one of the most effective ways to compose is to have a MIDI keyboard that you can instantly record your ideas with. This can be helpful if you happen to have a melody pop into your head and want to quickly make a record of it without having to take the time to write it out or anything. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today composers need more than just some paper to write down ideas. Music composition is becoming more connected to other forms of media, and as such, more multimedia type programs are needed to allow composers to work on other types of projects. A quick scan of some &lt;a href="http://freelancemusiccomposers.com/jobs"&gt;composer jobs&lt;/a&gt; listings will show you that video games and film scores are in need of many composers, and you need a whole recording studio to do that type of work.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-706625706900708936?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/706625706900708936/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=706625706900708936&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/706625706900708936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/706625706900708936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2009/12/composing-music-in-dorm-room.html' title='Composing Music In A Dorm Room'/><author><name>H.

It just so happens that any style of electronic music, including &lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/electronicorchestralmusic"&gt;electronic orchestral music&lt;/a&gt;, can easily be produced on just a computer if you want. There is no necessary need for anything other than a computer and some sort of MIDI controller to create good electronic songs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is technically possible to make electronic music without even a controller of any sort, and some people have. However, a controller such as a keyboard can really allow you to do more expressive and stylistic musical motifs, and it can also make it a lot easier to produce the different parts that you need. Knowing how to play an instrument like the keyboard will help you composer more music and give you a more immediate method of coming up with new ideas, so I would recommend that any electronic orchestral composer learn how to play it, even though it is not absolutely necessary. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Electronic music is really the perfect music to record in a dorm room because if you use a pair of headphones you are making no noise that might disturb any roommates. Also, if you don't have to record any acoustic instruments, you wont be making any noise, and you wont have to worry about the start of the soundproofing in your room. This makes it ideal in every way.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-5955210171881825363?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/5955210171881825363/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=5955210171881825363&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/5955210171881825363'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/5955210171881825363'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2009/12/recording-electronic-music-in-dorm-room.html' title='Recording Electronic Music in a Dorm Room'/><author><name>H.

This means planning things out and determining what are the most important aspects. You should think about what values you want in a compact studio for a college dorm or apartment room, and then seek to obtain them in your design and implementation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good dorm room studio philosophy would be to get everything as compact as possible. This is a clear primary value because you don't have a lot of space to work with, and you do not want your whole room filled with equipment. To do this, you can try to use as many software instruments as possible and try to get anything else on your computer that you can. Maybe you get rid of your guitar effects pedals and just use an effects program on your computer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another value would be to have monitors or speakers that are near field so you do not have to be far away from them to listen to them, and the room will not affect the sound as much. Most dorm rooms are pretty terrible as far as &lt;a href="http://roomsoundproofingmaterials.blogspot.com/"&gt;soundproofing&lt;/a&gt; goes, you don't want to have to spend much time or money trying to soundproof a dorm room if you can avoid it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last thing you should add to your dorm room recording philosophy is to have a small recording interface. Chances are, you will only need one or two microphone inputs, and there are many interfaces made for this type of demand. A larger interface will be more expensive and take up a lot more space. Especially for a college student, expense is another important consideration in a dorm room studio philosophy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want people to know that you are thinking about your philosophies of everything, show them with a &lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/bestphilosophytshirts"&gt;philosophy shirt&lt;/a&gt;. These are some great items that I plan on getting. They are perfect for the interested student looking for some intelligent humor.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-1015994603574784946?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/1015994603574784946/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=1015994603574784946&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/1015994603574784946'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/1015994603574784946'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2009/12/philosophy-of-dorm-room-recording.html' title='Philosophy of Dorm Room Recording Studios'/><author><name>H.

These will help you record guitar parts in as little space as possible and make the whole process take up much less time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing that anyone should have to record guitar in their dorm room studio is a multi effects pedal. This will let you have plenty of different guitar effects without taking up a lot of space, but more importantly, it will allow you to control your guitar tone and add effects to it when recording direct line in to a recording interface. A multi effects pedal is a very useful tool in a studio, but you can also get effects programs on your computer to add the sound in then, and save even more space. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may be of use to you to have a guitar amp with a line out in it. This will allow you to record the output with the amps influence if you like the sound of your amp. It can also help you monitor your sound without the delay that computers might add to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some other guitar accessories that may be of assistance are not necessarily parts of sound recording in your dorm room studio. You want to record on the best instrument that you can, because the easier and more enjoyable an instrument is to play, the better music you will play on it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To help with this, you can upgrade your guitar with better parts. These can include new pickups, pickup rings, tone and volume knobs, tuners, and &lt;a href="http://trussrodcovers.blogspot.com"&gt;truss rod covers&lt;/a&gt;. All of these parts will improve how your guitar sounds and feels, and this can influence you making better music.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-6036581445190405849?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/6036581445190405849/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=6036581445190405849&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/6036581445190405849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/6036581445190405849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2009/11/guitar-accessories-for-dorm-room.html' title='Guitar Accessories for Dorm Room Recording'/><author><name>H.

I plan on writing some articles about recording music in an apartment or dorm room because there arn't any others on there so far. There are many article sites but its nice to see one focusing on music. This should encourage and spread musical theory and information that will benefit a lot of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recording music in a dorm room or apartment is something a few articles about could really help. Many people living in those types of situations are interested in music but do not think that they have the space to record it. Fortunately, music equipment these days makes a lot of things possible that used to be out of the question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can now have a professional music studio in a dorm room or apartment, and it can have everything that you need. You will have to make some sacrifices, but this shouldn't affect your overall output once you get used to your setup.

Unless you are recording for someone else and they are paying you you will need to sell some of your music to make some cash, and if you want to keep getting your equipment and software, you want to make some money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To do this you will need to research the different ways to &lt;a href="http://musicmoneyonline.mfarkas.com"&gt;sell music online&lt;/a&gt;. There are many paths you can take to get your music online these days, and you may end up using more than a few of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One main type of strategy is to put it on a site like itunes or CDBaby. This will cost you some money up front, but it can be worth it because those sites will expose you to large markets. The best way to do it for free would be to set up an ecommerce store on your own site that charges people to download your music. This will let you keep all of the profits but it will be more work and require much more marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that the path of music does not end at the recording studio, and if no one can sell their music, there wont be much in recording it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-6228856677836829511?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/6228856677836829511/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=6228856677836829511&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/6228856677836829511'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/6228856677836829511'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2009/11/recording-your-music-and-selling-it.html' title='Recording Your Music and Selling it Online'/><author><name>H.

In most cases, within a dorm room, you will be recording with a line in. This can make guitar overdrive effects sound artificial and small, but with proper adjustments to the EQ, it should not be that bad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may have to make the overdrive pedal sound more extreme in real life than usual to get a good line in sound. If this still doesnt produce a good recording, you may just have to forget the overdrive pedal and use a software effects generator. These can handle overdrive, distortion, and just about any other effect you can imagine, and will often give you a better sound than recording an overdrive pedal line in with your dorm room recording studio set up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the long run, what I have is a antipathy for about guitar effects. I  bought recording a guitar overdrive pedal. It has to do with the fundamentals of  dorm room recording. Only with time should you use a dorm room recording studio  to be more inclusive.

If you are a fan of music and of traveling to discover new types of music, &lt;a href="http://southernspainvacations.blogspot.com"&gt;southern Spain vacations&lt;/a&gt; might be something you should check out. This classical guitar from southern Spain needed to be recorded for a solo track.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a dorm room recording situation, or any kind of compact home recording studio, you might not have a stereo pair of mics to use, which would be a good thing for recording solo classical guitar. But you can do fine with one mic as long as you take the time to find a good placing for it. On each guitar it may be different but on this Spanish guitar the good spot was facing at the neck right around where it meets the body. The type of mic you use in your dorm room recording studio will also make a difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When recording this guitar from southern Spain, it was important to get a good mix of detailed noise from the strings and an even mix of low to high frequencies to produce a full sounding recording. One of the challenges with recording an acoustic instrument in a dorm room is outside noise. With a delicate instrument such as a Spanish guitar, any outside noise will get on the recording so you have to do it at a time when the dorm rooms are quiet. Recording a southern Spain guitar in a dorm room can be a challenge but with the right equipment and techniques no dorm room recording job is impossible.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-139318404419352913?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/139318404419352913/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=139318404419352913&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/139318404419352913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/139318404419352913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2009/01/recording-southern-spain-guitar-in-dorm.html' title='Recording A Southern Spain Guitar In A Dorm Room'/><author><name>H.

But this software is going to be expensive and you have to know how to use it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; As part of a dorm room recording studio, a good freelance sound designer will have recording software and midi software instruments. You need a program that can combine and edit these different musical sources. Besides that you also need some film scoring and editing programs because nearly all sound design is related to film and video. This can become a very expensive, but compact and effective dorm room recording studio all within a laptop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will also need some high quality sound effect libraries that you can edit and modify to create the environments that you desire. These can also be expensive. There are many to chose from and you may need more than one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along with the software that is required for any freelance sound designer, you need a few pieces of equipment in your dorm room studio.

The advantage of running your guitar through your computer's effects software is that you can play your guitar without making any outside noise through the use of headphones. This is ideal for a dorm room recording studio, and limits how much you have to worry about &lt;a href="http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-soundproof-dorm-room-recording.html"&gt;dorm room soundproofing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many other benefits to using software guitar pedals. One is that it saves space in your dorm room recording studio, which probably isnt that big. This can really be good for reducing the number of cables and pieces of hardware laying around.

What is the best way? Ive talked about a few cheap and free methods on here that show you how to soundproof a room, and where to get good &lt;a href="http://roomsoundproofingmaterials.blogspot.com"&gt;room soundproofing materials&lt;/a&gt;. These methods can do a lot to make your dorm room a better place to record in, but sometimes you just cant do enough to make a decent acoustical room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In dorm rooms you cant put stuff on the walls or anything permanently. This can prevent you from doing a lot of effective soundproofing techniques. The best answer for a dorm room may be to get a good pair of headphones.

Just make sure you get used to how records you like sound in them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can use headphones then you dont have to worry about soundproofing at all and you dont have to worry about making too much noise. you can check your work on speakers that you like later but the headphones should be pretty good if you spend some time with them and they are high quality.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-3886293156547181805?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/3886293156547181805/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=3886293156547181805&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/3886293156547181805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/3886293156547181805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-soundproof-dorm-room-recording.html' title='How To Soundproof a Dorm Room Recording Studio'/><author><name>H.

Soundproofing blankets are easy to set up and hang from the tops of your dorm room walls and they can be attached temporarily. In a dorm room you have to find ways of soundproofing that are not permanent changes to the room as this is not allowed in most college apartments or dorms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soundproofing blankets are relatively cheap and are probably easier to install than &lt;a href="http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-make-soundproofing-pannels.html"&gt;soundproofing panels&lt;/a&gt;, especially in a dorm room. They will also cover more space on your walls and completely cover any windows in your room, which are the most important places to soundproof.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most soundproofing blankets with both improve the acoustics of the room and decrease the amount of sound that neighbors will hear, which is perfect for dorm room soundproofing. Another great thing about these soundproofing blankets is that they can easily be removed or taken down when you have company over or need to make the room look more normal. You can even arrange things so that you can just easily put up the soundproofing blankets only when you are playing loud music or doing recording.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soundproofing or acoustical blankets are one of the best ways to soundproof a dorm room. They can cover a large area and completely cover windows and doors that may be the main cause of any sound problems you have in a dorm room. Their portability and ease make them a good choice for any dorm room soundproofing project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt; &lt;a href="http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/mixing-with-computer-speakers.html"&gt;Mixing With Computer Speakers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-433229879102005609?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/433229879102005609/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=433229879102005609&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/433229879102005609'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/433229879102005609'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/07/dorm-room-soundproofing.html' title='Dorm Room Soundproofing'/><author><name>H.

Especially if you have computer speakers with a subwoofer, the results you hear are going to be inconsistent with other systems. Even small differences in the placement of your subwoofer can change what you hear in the bass levels completely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recording studios speakers without subwoofers are usually used for regular music recordings. This ensures the most accurate complete frequency range, and does not have an area where the frequencies switch from the speakers to the subwoofer. If you are using a computer speaker system for mixing and dorm room recording, there are a few things you should try to make sure it doesn't ruin your music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can try mixing in headphones. This is not usually a good idea in recording situations but some nice headphones can give you an accurate response where computer speakers might not. This is also ideal for recording in a college dorm because mixing on headphones will not make any noise for roommates, and if your dorm room is not well soundproofed or treated acoustically the headphones will take that out of the equation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also make sure that you check anything that you have mixed or mastered on computer speakers on a different audio system that you are used to, such as your car. This will show you how your stuff sounds compared to the commercial music that you usually listen to in there. Conversely, you should listen to commercial music on your computer speakers so you know what they do to the sound of songs that you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This should help you if you need to mix and record with computer speakers, which might be the case in a college dorm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt; &lt;a href="http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/making-music-with-just-computer.html"&gt;Making Music with Just a Computer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-8933642590495582746?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/8933642590495582746/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=8933642590495582746&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8933642590495582746'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8933642590495582746'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/mixing-with-computer-speakers.html' title='Mixing with Computer Speakers'/><author><name>H.

You can input midi notes using the mouse or the computer keyboard, which is not as efficient as a real keyboard but it is good enough in temporary situations where you do not have access to other pieces of equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These programs can allow you to make great music with just a computer which can be a good thing when you are traveling and only have a computer with you.

They can be expensive if you are buying professional ones that are already made but its not too hard to make some decent ones yourself. You will still need to buy some supplies but for a pretty low cost and a little time you can have your own dorm room soundproofing panels to put up on your walls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First you need some kind of foam pads. You can look for the least expensive kind but professional soundproofing panels are made from fiberglass. The only other thing you need is some kind of felt or fabric. Cover the foam in the fabric and glue it down in the back. Smooth out the fabric on the front of the panel and you are done. Now you just put them up on the walls wherever you need. You can paste them up with some liquid nails or hang them like a picture. For a dorm room, this would probably be a better option for soundproofing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soundproofing panels like these could be placed on the walls or the roof of your dorm room. The best places for them might be around any speakers or monitors you have in your dorm, or even around the TV. These can be helpful for dorm room recording situations or just if you want to keep the neighbors from hearing all the noise you make. With these soundproofing panels your dorm room can be almost professionally soundproofed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-3858962274172542408?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/3858962274172542408/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=3858962274172542408&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/3858962274172542408'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/3858962274172542408'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-make-soundproofing-pannels.html' title='How to Make Soundproofing Pannels'/><author><name>H.

In college, you are going to use your computer for a lot of entertainment purposes, so the speakers you have are essential. You don't want to be throwing a party without a good sound system coming from your computer. And if you have a dorm room recording studio or are &lt;a href="http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-college-dorm-room-recording-setup.html"&gt;making music in your college dorm&lt;/a&gt;, you obviously need some good speakers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For everyday use, many companies make good sets of speakers. Most of these will come with a sub woofer that will get you good bass sound and an overall pleasing result. If you are just using your speakers for watching movies and playing music in your college dorm, any brand that makes these sets of speakers should be fine. If you are into recording and music production you do not want to get speakers with a sub woofer becuase the resulting sound is uneven and deceiving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For dorm room recording, you want to get a nice pair of speakers that can produce enough bass on their own, some that get a full and even response. I suggest checking out the JBL and Event brands of speakers and monitors as they are good companies that make professional equipment. Creative and Bose also make some good speakers that would work well in college dorms, whether for recording or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will be using your computer speakers a lot in college so you should make sure you have a good pair that fits your needs well.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-5387703919637110794?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/5387703919637110794/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=5387703919637110794&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/5387703919637110794'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/5387703919637110794'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/computer-speakers-for-college-dorms.html' title='Computer Speakers for College Dorms'/><author><name>H.

Some amps will not work in the close quarters of a college dorm, even one with &lt;a href="http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/soundproofing-dorm-room-part-ii.html"&gt;soundproofing&lt;/a&gt;, and you need to make sure not to buy or bring one that you wont be able to use.  This mainly has to do with the volume of the guitar amp and how it performs at the low volumes that will be necessary if you plan on playing in college dorm rooms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The general rule that the conditions of a dorm or apartment create is that tube amps are not what you want to have. On average they are a lot bigger and heavier. This can make them hard to get around a college campus and hard to fit into your small dorm room. You want an amp that can fit into small spaces and be easily transported. More importantly, tube amps do not perform their best at low volumes, and this is what you will be playing at in a dorm environment. Some tube guitar amps don't even have low volumes available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lots of people like tube amps for their sound, especially if you are bringing one with the intention of setting up a dorm room studio and using it for recording. But you can find solid state guitar amps that sound just as good these days, one that will be smaller and have optimal sound at low volumes. Solid state guitar amps usually sound better that tube amps at lower volumes. This makes them ideal for college dorms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether using an amp for dorm recording or just to practice with while you are at college, make sure you consider the type of environment you will be in. There wont be many times when you can crank up you guitar amp and rock out without getting complaints from other students in the dorms. Try to find an amp that is portable and capable of good sound at low volumes for the best college dorm room guitar set up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-2980456957508334315?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/2980456957508334315/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=2980456957508334315&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/2980456957508334315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/2980456957508334315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/right-guitar-amp-for-college-dorm-room.html' title='The Best Guitar Amp for a College Dorm Room'/><author><name>H.

I didn't have any fancy software or hardware besides my guitar and keyboard. The computer I was using wasn't very good either, it was just an old laptop I had for word processing and other normal computer activities. But I had a copy of &lt;a href="http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/dorm-room-recording-music-production.html"&gt;FL Studio&lt;/a&gt;, and that made it so I could combine the recorded audio from my instruments with some electronically produced musical elements to create some nice results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This kind of set works perfectly for a college musician wanting to record some music becuase there is no need for microphones, as I used direct recording and &lt;a href="http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/using-midi-devices-for-dorm-room.html"&gt;MIDI&lt;/a&gt; to capture my audio.  This wont work if you need to do vocals and non electronic instruments, but the music I wanted to make it was fine. Another advantage of not needing microphones and live recording was that I could make sure I wasn't making a lot of noise and disturbing my roommates. This is something very important if you want to produce music in a college dorm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lack of noise that I was making also prevented me from having to worry much about soundproofing. I positioned my computer speakers and my subwoofer in places that gave me the most even sound field and the least amount of standing waves and interference. This was just a trial and error process. Not having to soundproof my small college dorm room and not needing microphones or other expensive devices made my studio set up cheap and simple. I was able to get a lot of use out of this situation so don't think that you need a lot to record and produce music. Even in the limited space of a college dorm room you can make great music these days.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-8705108395653424692?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/8705108395653424692/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=8705108395653424692&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8705108395653424692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8705108395653424692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-college-dorm-room-recording-setup.html' title='My College Dorm Room Recording Setup'/><author><name>H.

There are different types of soundproofing for different purposes. One type refers to making it so the sound you are producing doesn't disturb any neighbors or people in adjacent rooms. This means killing the reflections of sound and making a room dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To do this you can line the walls with soundproofing materials and seal off the doors and windows. Pay special attention to metal surfaces as they will reflect more sound and influence it poorly. Making a room dead is what you want to do if you want to keep sound within your dorm room, but if you are looking to optimize your room for listening to the music you are working on, you have to use different techniques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the time for this situation, you are trying to limit and reduce the amount of bass that collects in the corners of the room. As mentioned in previous posts, you can put your bed, pillows, or sofas and chairs in the corners of your dorm room to help this problem without much cost. There is no reason to buy bass traps or fancy soundproofing equipment for this problem. You can find ways to do it yourself for free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually studios do different work on their live rooms and control rooms to get better sound while recording and while listening in the control room. If you are doing music production and recording in a dorm room then the single room will be your live and control space. So in order to do any kind of soundproofing you have to set up the room for both purposes. Keep this in mind as you soundproof your dorm room studio.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-8042158812275702927?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/8042158812275702927/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=8042158812275702927&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8042158812275702927'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8042158812275702927'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/different-types-of-soundproofing.html' title='Different Types of Soundproofing'/><author><name>H.

This time we will talk about another cheap microphone that works great for vocals, the SM58. These mics are like the 57 in that they are widely available, durable pieces of equipment that will get you quality recordings without having to spend hundreds of dollars. Perfect for the dorm room recording studio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The SM58 is known for recording vocals and I have used it many times for that purpose. They get a nice accurate sound on vocals but on instruments they do not produce a good recording, at least in my experience. Even though this might make them sound limited the SM58 is still a great mic to have, and it is a standard piece of equipment for any recording studio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What makes them so useful is that besides working for studio recordings on vocals, they can also make great live vocal microphones. If you will be putting on concerts you will be able to use your SM58 with confidence. They are built pretty well and can take some abuse which makes them even better for this type of work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like the SM57, the SM58 is one of the cheapest yet usable microphones you can get. If you are on a limited budget they are an easy choice. You might even be able to find knock off brands of them for even less money, and they will probably works just as well. If you have a dorm room recording set up in need of a decent vocal microphone, look no further.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-7369402457154927240?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/7369402457154927240/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=7369402457154927240&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/7369402457154927240'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/7369402457154927240'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/vocal-microphone-for-dorm-room-studios.html' title='Vocal Microphone for Dorm Room Studios'/><author><name>H.

On a limited budget, I would suggest a Shure SM57. These are good mics that are found in just about any studio because of their durability, quality, and inexpensive price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SM57s are used mostly for instrument recording and work well for loud signals. Guitar amps, horns, loud wind instruments, and parts of drum sets are handled by this microphone. I have recorded piano with it too, they can produce a nice wooden sound in the right situation. On a budget and in the limited space of a dorm room studio, an SM57 would be a good investment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are situations where this microphone will not do a good job. I have found that they are terrible for vocals and delicate wind instruments such as flutes. They can get a good result on bass clarinets though. Even if you cant find something to use them on in a recording session, they can make good talk back microphones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The SM57 is a good standard mic to have for your dorm room recording studio, and it wont cost you a lot to get one. They last a while and can take a lot of abuse so they are well worth the money. If you need something to do a little instrument recording, consider one of them for your studio.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-4462640606261447270?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/4462640606261447270/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=4462640606261447270&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/4462640606261447270'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/4462640606261447270'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/microphone-for-instrument-recording-in.html' title='Microphone for Instrument Recording in a Dorm Room Studio'/><author><name>H.

More specifically, making the arrangement of furniture in your dorm room maximize soundproofing and bass reduction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any audio equipment such as amps and speakers should not be facing walls that connect with other rooms. Try to direct the sound to an exterior wall or window. This will send some of the sound outside instead of into places where other students live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arranging any sofas or padded chairs can also make a big difference in the soundproofing of a dorm room. Bass collects in the corners of rooms so putting a sofa or even your bed in the corner can reduce the bass that your neighbors hear. This can also improve and balance out the sound inside of your dorm room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a problem with sound going out of your front door you can arrange your audio equipment behind something such as your bed or dresser so the sound does not have a direct path out. There are many arrangements you can make for free to soundproof your dorm room or apartment that will save you money and trouble.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-6595362277895052635?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/6595362277895052635/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=6595362277895052635&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/6595362277895052635'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/6595362277895052635'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/soundproofing-dorm-room-part-ii.html' title='Soundproofing A Dorm Room: Part II'/><author><name>H.

A trial version of it can be downloaded for free so you can try it out and see if you want to purchase the full version. FL Studio is one of the easiest music production programs to use but it is also powerful enough to do just about anything you would need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main screen in FL Studio is where you can make patterns of instrument hits to produce a beat. Every instrument has a piano roll that can be used to write melodic or harmonic parts. Once you have all the different patterns you want you can arrange them in the sequencer window to make a full song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just about every element in the program can be altered with automation clips or effects, and FL Studio can also handle MIDI and regular instrument recording through microphones. These recorded parts can easily be combined with the programed musical elements to create any type of electronic song. If you are looking for an easy to use and cheaper music production program for your dorm room recording studio consider FL Studio.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-6145687205908168971?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/6145687205908168971/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=6145687205908168971&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/6145687205908168971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/6145687205908168971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/dorm-room-recording-music-production.html' title='Dorm Room Recording Music Production Software: FL Studio'/><author><name>H.

I had heard a lot of good things about it and finally got the change to try it out. It seems like the perfect software for loop based recording in a dorm room studio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Both the live performance and recording of loops are what this program specializes in, but that doesn't mean it cant do regular recording and composition. The controls that can be used to modify and adjust sound files are much more intuitive than ProTools or any other software Ive come across, and Ableton comes with many usable effects plugins that have an easy system of control.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The midi aspects of the software are the same as any other music production program, you can record and edit the midi notes and apply different sounds and effects to them. The thing that separates Ableton Live from other programs is its ability to make music for live performance. You can switch between loops without losing the beat and edit any aspects of your sound easily. You can also record everything you are doing during a live performance, every little control tweak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you are looking for some new music software for individual music making or electronic style compositions this is as good as you'll find. It makes a great software application for dorm room recording studios.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-4831106889081881989?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/4831106889081881989/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=4831106889081881989&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/4831106889081881989'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/4831106889081881989'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/dorm-room-recording-production-software.html' title='Dorm Room Recording Music Production Software: Ableton Live'/><author><name>H.

You will need some type of software that can record the MIDI device and apply sounds and effects to it. Depending on the quality of the software you have, you can make just about any sound you want from percussion to violins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MIDI recording is also easy to edit and modify so you can get parts exactly the way you want. For electronic music some type of MIDI is essential and can be the only thing you use on a song. Because the sound is going straight into your computer, you can wear headphones so you dont disturb people near your dorm room studio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With MIDI recording you can be in complete control of many different types of sound and accomplish a lot without using up space. Most keyboards have MIDI capabilities, even some cheaper ones so it should be easy to get set up.

This can be diminished with some soundproofing. Some recording studios spend thousands of dollars soundproofing their rooms but there are a few low cost things you can do for your dorm room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acoustical egg crate foam pads can be placed on the walls in your room to not only decrease the amount of sound that goes through your walls into the nest room but also decrease the reflections of sound within your room. This strategy will help but the biggest problem with sound in your dorm room studio is doors and windows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any door that is not sealed or made of hollow or light material will transmit almost all sound that it encounters. Windows are the same. In order to soundproof these trouble spots without getting replacement windows or doors you can try to use foam or towels when recording. Putting towels in the crack under doors can help reduce the sound that goes through, and putting foam on the door itself will also help. Windows should be completely covered in foam for decent results. With these low cost and simple tips, your dorm room recording studio will be soundproofed much better.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-8513858438837208639?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/8513858438837208639/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=8513858438837208639&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8513858438837208639'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/8513858438837208639'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/soundproofing-dorm-room-recording.html' title='Soundproofing A Dorm Room Recording Studio'/><author><name>H.

With just some music production software and an 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch adapter, you can get a decent direct recording of a guitar without making much noise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The adapter is what will let you plug your guitar cable into the sound input of your computer. After you have the instrument plugged in, you can adjust the sound levels on your computer and whatever music production software you are using to find a good sound that isn't clipping. Keep in mind that you can put effects on the recorded guitar signal afterwards to make it sound fuller and more realistic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This technique will not get you the very best professional guitar sound but if it is used the right way you can easily get usable sound with the help of effects and reverb. For people trying to set up a dorm room recording studio without spending a lot of money or getting a lot of equipment this is a good method to try, and it may be your only option in some cases.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-6719349574395208401?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/6719349574395208401/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=6719349574395208401&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/6719349574395208401'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/6719349574395208401'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/recording-guitar-in-your-dorm-room.html' title='Recording Guitar In Your Dorm Room Studio'/><author><name>H.

Most of the big studios use desktops with lots of external hardware and expensive processors, for your purposes and limited space of a dorm room you can do fine with just a notebook. It is important to get the right kind of laptop though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nearly all serious recording is done on Macs these days. This doesn't mean that PCs are completely useless for music production, there is some good software available for PC recording but industry standard software is Mac based. ProTools and related applications are all for Mac and they are  what the major studios use. You can use them too in your dorm room recording studio with a good laptop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Apple &lt;a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994312/item--APLMBPMT"&gt;MacBook Pro&lt;/a&gt; and the larger &lt;a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994312/item--APLMBPMT17"&gt;17 inch version&lt;/a&gt; are powerful and portable recording computers. They will give you the platform to do high quality audio and video work, and with the right software you will be recording near the level of professional studios, all within the space of a dorm room.&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2625683418355779309-9020354790636832848?l=dormroomrecording.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/feeds/9020354790636832848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2625683418355779309&amp;postID=9020354790636832848&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/9020354790636832848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2625683418355779309/posts/default/9020354790636832848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dormroomrecording.blogspot.com/2008/06/right-computer-for-dorm-room-recording.html' title='The Right Computer For Dorm Room Recording'/><author><name>H.
