An Introduction to Recording Your Own CD

Nothing kills the creative process like having to wait. In most digital

studios, you get an idea and go.

Run, Don’t Walk

Digital recorders can jump to any spot in a song in a

heartbeat. As soon as you tell the recorder where you

want to go, you’re there. You don’t have to fast-forward or

rewind as you would on a VCR or cassette deck.

You can bookmark important places in a song using “locators.” You can

place a locator in position by pressing a single button, and get back there

just as quickly. You don’t have to go hunting around, trying to remember

where certain song sections are when inspiration strikes.

Locators remember them for you.

Making a Scene

A signiﬁcant amount of time in a studio can be spent setting things up

or tweaking things so that they sound just right. Some digital mixers

and studio workstations can remember all of these settings for you as a

“scene.” It’s hard to overstate the wonder of scenes: Press a button and

your entire studio setup snaps into place instantly. Using scenes, you can

experiment with different mix ideas, comparing them with the push of a

button.

Safe and Sound

Built for Speed

When you save your song

after each session, a studio

workstation can keep

track of all of the song’s

recordings and remember

all of your settings.

At the next session, you can

simply load your song and

pick up right where you left

off. Everything will be just

where you left it, including

Virtual Tracks, mixer settings,

and your Undos.

This means that when you want to resume work on a song you can do so,

quickly, without having to manually recreate your setup. It also means that

you can easily work on any song at any time, even if you’re in the middle

of work on another song. Just save your current work and load the song

you want to work on.
