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 attainable and easy to use. Most computers have sufficient power to record and edit audio, and the media we use can transfer it easily. If this is your path, either because of 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 committed input device that dampens background noise. Some microphones come with built in sound dampeners.
2. Software for Recording - The input device only captures the audio. You also need software that will record, assess, and allow you to edit the audio.
3. Recording Space - Finally, you need somewhere quiet and private 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 enveloping noise.
Professional Recording Sessions
The other choice, which is becoming less common but yet carries a high level of weight, is being professionally recorded. This route demands 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 something in mind when prepping your demo - recording executives are more intrigued in quality than length. They want to listen to a handful of good songs that show you are a talented writer and performer, 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 just don't want to handle the hassle of a studio recording, look into a home recording. You'll have a quicker, more personal demo and you'll have far more time and more money to spend writing powerful, extractive songs. - 40726
