Sound recording

I was trying my best to know as much as i can about home studio recording.
So i got hold of this guy before he graduate, to learn more.
I first learnt about the hardwares needed and their uses.
1) Laptop with the necessary software.. (adobe audition) downloadable free trial.
2) Interface - to line in the instrument. Instrument -> interface -> laptop mic hole.
- also to be able to hear the playback while recording simultaneously

Additional items
3) DI box - to reduce noise due to the magnetic field affecting long wires.
4) Mixer - To plug in the instrument or the mics then adjust the balance and gain
5) Mics.. this is simple enough to know y we need mics. Usually for vocals. Or drums.

Yawn... my brain is tired... Maths lecture was tough.

Anyway, i still need to learn how to operate the software. I must play around with it.

And i learnt some new chords for keyboard from the keyboardists.. sus chords using 2nds and 4ths. But i still donno when to invert the bass. Need to try out and clear some doubt. then how to apply a weird bass note to make playing interesting.

Then.. tats all lor.
I am tired, must not forget these important things... it is sure useful in my lifetime.

Thank God for this few days of lessons! I have been awake, if not subconsciously listening. Thank God!
