The recording at home using a computer or hard disk recorder

Probably the first thing you think before you spend money to get a recording device at home together, because I want to record at home?
You probably already know why, but the most clear on this one feels better the result.
You simply want to take the guitar on a whim and registration of the last idea that is in progress? You going to record an album in its entirety in the country is free? You want to make podcasts for broadcasting on the web? You want to "make their musical ideas to get an idea of how the final product may seem. All are valid reasons for having the configuration of home recording. Each also suggests a certain amount of money you have to spend to get the result I want, and how much effort you need to spend what is happening.
What you need.
From a basic view that you need some way to record your performance or ideas – this could be on a personal computer [] PC or Mac or on a separate register. You also need some way to get performance in the recording medium – or by microphone or a keyboard of a piano. Will also find a way to "deliver" your product – using MP3 Mix / CD-ROM or podcasts. All factors to consider in determining that the study at home.
Which is better, PC or record alone?
I must confess that in my opinion and experience, the simplest and most effective way to record something at home is a recorder of independence. Some years ago he recorded an entire album with FOSTEX DMT8, 8 tracks to make the game, including guitars and vocals eveything. For those of you unfamiliar with what I mean by Stand Alone Recorder FOSTEX then drive off, Yamaha, Roland and others. In general, have been built on a hard drive or memory card which records the data resulting from burning yourself. This can be as simple as taking a "record" button and play or sing. There are no complaints involved with this. Some of them also allow you to record a CD at the end of the process so you can amaze your friends! There may be disadvantages, as explained later, but depending on its ultimate objective, as discussed above, will be compensated for any deficiencies.
Recording on a PC or Mac word leads to a more complex, so if you're not computer savy, or prepared to enagage in a long and frustrating at times I was with the unit.
It is more difficult to record on a PC?
Recoded on a PC has a minimum of 3 phases:
Registration device-microphone/keyboard/turntable
Sound card converts the sounds of their "real" world-readable.
Recording software makes the task of 'capturing' performance.
After creating the recording chain, then "may" be as simple as using a separate unit, but to reach the point at which to deal with a number of factors: the nightmare # 1 most nuts control at home is a friendly invitation Tike latency.
Some of latency, "which is revealed later."
For those unfamiliar, the latency is comparable to hear his voice echoing around a cannon, heloooo-hellllllloooo. There is a gap between the time of shouting and I heard this voice. If you connect a microphone and recording software to configure and say that the ubiquitous 'hello' to get a similar effect!
Unless you invest in a super high end of the recording, Pro Tools HD, then this is something you need to work with a team of dedicated home recording.
The reason is the latency to meet the team needs time to convert the analog [sounds physcal through electrcity] into digital data, ones and zeros. With a good sound card which can take between 7 and 15 milliseconds [yes, there are 15 seconds thousandenths] and about the same number of milliseconds to convert a digital signal to analog establishment of an electrical system that can be useful to use to hear the sound coming out of the group. Bare in mind that the ads' our ears, sound like an echo around 50 milliseconds [more on this later] – so if we have a sound card with 25millisecond [MS] delay of 25 ms input and output Wil delay our ears perceive as an eco-not very good to play with who is out of time.
This is pretty useless I could scream, so how do they do all this recording computer at home? A-ha. Those smart people who make sound cards M-Audio, Presonus, Yamaha, etc. I did something very clever, which has promoted a process called "direct control".
Direct control allows us to listen to the audio input in its origin, immediately after connecting on-rather than through the computer, which will collect a delay in the background. Feels more ", but the team" as you like, but in my experience is quite distracting especially with long latency periods. The other thing that the program intelligent software / sound card combo will only record the new track in time with others, taking into account the latency of the current times.
In summary, the ease of use and less discomfort for a technology independent hard disk recorder. For more complex productions consider getting a computer / / software combo sound card, but be prepared for a learning curve.
