I'll take a stab in the dark here and say that your greatest dream is to be recorded. Even just a home recorded demo would be enough to show your friends and family that you're on your way to satisfying those dreams.
Self-Recording
The technology is accessible and easy to use. Most computers have adequate power to record and edit audio, and the media we use can convey it easily. If this is your path, either due to a lack of funds or because you're a do-it-yourself, you'll need a few things.
1. A Microphone - A simple microphone isn't enough when recording good quality audio. You need a focused input device that dampens background noise. Some microphones come with built in sound dampeners.
2. Software for Recording - The input unit only captures the audio. You also need software that will record, examine, and let you to edit the audio.
3. Recording Space - Lastly, you need somewhere quiet and secluded to record. While most recording artists have a sound room in their homes, you do not, and counteractive to popular belief, a bathroom is not perfect. So, find the smallest room you can and minimize any ambient noise.
Professional Recording Sessions
The other option, which is becoming less common but however carries a huge sum of weight, is being professionally recorded. This route requires that you first find a good producer. A producer will be the medium between you and the recorded audio. He or she will bring of the equipment and mix your demo.
Be Prepared
Keep system in mind when prepping your demo - recording executives are more concerned in quality than length. They want to listen to a handful of good songs that show you are a talented writer and artist, not an epic album. The quality of your recording just needs to be strong enough to get your foot in the door.
And luckily, home recording devices do just that. So, if you're short on funds or simply don't want to handle the hassle of a studio recording, look into a home recording. You'll have a faster, more personal demo and you'll have far longer and more money to spend writing powerful, evocative songs. - 40730
