So, now that I know a thing or two about recording music at home properly, I’m going to give you a definitive answer to this question. Many people wonder if they need a sound card for music production or if they should get an Audio Interface. Now, this is completely fine to do if you’re just starting out and want to know what it feels like to record music, but it’s far from the best solution you can get.
I then realized that my computer had a sound card already built in and that I should be able to use it to record music.Īfter going to my local music store and asking how I could do this, I managed to make it work. When I was in my early teens, I decided that I wanted to start recording my guitar on top of some backing tracks, however I didn’t have an Audio Interface and I also couldn’t afford one.
