		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s late at night, and I&#8217;m messing around on the guitar before I go to bed. I&#8217;m tired, and work is going to come all too quickly tomorrow morning. Just as I&#8217;m telling myself it&#8217;s time to call it a night, I play something that makes me stop and sit up &#8211; some fragment of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s the one piece of gear every studio has? A lava lamp.
In my modest home studio, I&#8217;m usually recording myself, my band, or my friends. We all know we&#8217;re recording in a converted bedroom, and there are no expectations for it to look or feel like a &#8220;professional&#8221; studio. However, that doesn&#8217;t stop me from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wasted way too much time in the last session trying to record a short snippet of guitar and make it into a loop to stretch out for several measures. In the end, I just sat down and played it like a pro &#8211; start to finish.

Good Grooves
There are plenty of great uses for loops [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I did something last night I never thought I&#8217;d do &#8211; I copied the lead vocal from the first chorus to the second chorus. In some genres, this is the normal, expected practice and a mandatory skill for the engineer. Other circles put emphasis on vague notions of authenticity and integrity, and duplicating a performance [...]]]></description>

How much time has been wasted in front of the TV or on the net because we were too lazy to practice our craft? What would our music be like today [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I sat down to track a guitar part for a song my band is recording. It just wasn&#8217;t working &#8211; I spent a couple hours tweaking guitar sounds, switching microphones, and changing mic positions, but nothing was making the part fit with the tracks we&#8217;d already recorded. Then I realized the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I added a new category to this blog, called Philosophy, because I want to start writing about the philosophical aspects of home recording. I think most of us who have little &#8220;home studios&#8221; got started because we wanted to record ourselves or our bands. Many of us are singer/songwriters, or have a desire to record [...]]]></description>
