So what was I missing? I had the gear to do most of the same things that the pros were doing. However, after I continued to work on the song “Winter Is Over” I was still not happy with it. Its not Pro Tools, but it can do most of the same things. It was an easy transition for me because I was used to Garageband. Now most of us know Logic is on the more affordable side of professional recording software, but I have loved using it.
It was, in my opinion, the best thing I had recorded on my own to that point. It was a guitar heavy song without a lot of drums or rhythm section. In 2011, I upgraded to Logic and recorded my first single called “Winter Is Over” with it. The finished musical product was way better, but still not quite there. I could do more things with the built-in midi sounds and plug-ins it came with. When Apple came out with Garageband, I immediately loved it and made an EP with it in 2008.
We had great songs and concepts, but the recording quality was obviously not going to be up to par. MP3 quality? Wave files? Whatever! Even for 2002, my lack of knowledge was embarrassing, but I was an artist! Don’t bother me with the technical crap! Ridiculous. We just knew we could make music and it was WAY better than our analog Tascam 4 track! We had no idea how digitally ignorant we were. My friends and I had some good fun with it. I would use loops in Acid on my pc and line them out into the Akai.
It had a HUGE 10 gig hard drive and some cool effects. I recorded my first project in 2003 on an Akai DPS16. A recording story about the importance of the people you work withĪs technology has advanced in the last decade, the world of digital recording has evolved at an exhausting pace.
