Getting Started

We are lucky to live during one of the most exciting periods in the music production industry. Just a few short years ago, you would need a studio filled with synthesizers, hardware effects processors, mixing consoles, and expensive multi-track tape machines to accomplish what you now can do in a small, project-based environment with a computer, an audio interface, and the right software. It's a good time to be a musician.
