[revive]

I quit recording 8 years ago due to marriage, kids, etc. Now I'm getting back to recording again and trying to rebuild my home studio.


What are your goals for recording your music?
Family project, teach my kids about music, and share with family/friends/church, and have fun!

What kind of music do you like to play/record?
Christian praise & worship, contemporary Christian music, fingerstyle guitar, pop, rock, funk, jazz. I also play keyboard/piano in addition to guitars, and want to record vocals too.

Is your studio space treated? How?
Nope.

Audio Technica AT2020
