Objective: record a complete Rock song (guitars, bass, keyboards, drums and vocals) with a credible result: good sound quality, clear mix. All this by recording alone with a PC.
I will tell you here about the way I record my songs. This is my way, it is not to be regarded as the only way or the best way, but it satisfies me and I share it with you. I am not a sound engineer, I did not take any recording or mixing lessons and everything I know, I learned gradually, by practicing and also interviewing people around me or reading specialized websites. I kept what works for me, but my methodology keeps changing, depending on my experience, my tries, my errors, and advice I can get here and there. Do not hesitate to proceed differently if you think it will be best for you. But for beginners, this will be a valuable guide.
