For all genres, it is essential to know how to record audio to a high quality. For bands, all instruments will need to be recorded. For electronic music, you will need to record vocals, so I’m going to take you through some very simple steps to get professional quality recordings from the start!

We cover recording setup, getting the equipment hooked up, getting the audio through in to the software and then recording itself. We do this in Ableton Live, which you can get a free trial of to work along with the video at this link: ableton.com/en/trial
