First thing I would do if I could start all over again in that world would be to have a clear idea of what kind of recording I would want to end up with. Pick only one song to record at first and don’t get bogged down by sound quality issues just yet. Realizing the idea/song is by far the most important thing. Then you can re-map and be anal about each part you multi-track. Great recordings can be made from home! I’m no expert but I do it all the time so ask away and I’ll try to help if I can.
Not really a beginner; started when I was 14, I am 40-something now...
Published and all, just getting back into it due to a swelled up heart (in a good way).
Just wanted a consensus/brain picking on how others still write/jot down/remember a song.
