How we're recording our CD



PC Recording

Home PC music recording can be done relatively easily if you learn how. If you are careful about what hardware and software you buy you can achieve professional sounding results on a low budget.

Our band is lucky because we have the use of our High School's sound equipment.This has given us a strong start in our PC based recording ventures. However, if you study the market, buying sound equipment can become a matter of the right place at the right time.
