You must be mad if...

...you have never tried to record your own music - seriously! One of the wonderful ironies of the modern age is that, for acoustic performers, things have never been better where capturing a natural sound is concerned. Reasonably priced high quality digital recorders with high spec built in condensers mean anyone with a guitar, a harp, and some idea about how to breathe, can make a record.

Sure, it won't be hi-fi Top Twenty sounds - but who cares? With a basic knowledge of some mastering techniques, one can make some nice sounds - and the techniques work for all lo-fi music styles, as my recent adventures with the Lo-Fi Fun Factory will hopefully demonstrate.

Do what you feel like doing - remember, you work to make free time to make art!
