However, my personal preference is to use a computer in home music studio recording.
I've stated in an earlier post that there are many stand alone recording units. There are a few factors to consider when it comes to a home music studio setup. I have often been asked, 'Do I need a mixer for home recording?' The simple answer to this question is 'no you don't, but you may want one.' I'd like to take a moment and address my theory behind that response.
