Please
note: Unfortunately, Brian has had to bow out of writing
this column in order to take care of other things. We all understand
how life happens and thank him for all the time he has put into
his participation here in the past. My
name is Brian Marine, and I am the owner of Digital Pro Audio, as
well as a long-time home recording enthusiast & songwriter. In my
columns, I plan to offer information and tips on recording at home
using the amazingly low-cost digital audio and computer-based recording
hardware & software currently available. I will also offer suggestions
on how to maximize the use of the gear you already have (or plan
to buy) in order to make the best quality recordings possible within
the budget you have available. Feel free to email me any questions
on this subject that you may have.

The Evolution of Home Recording -
My first article will attempt to give a brief overview of the amazing strides made in this industry which now allow us to get the same sort of recording quality from our bedroom studio that only a short time ago could only come from a multi-million dollar professional recording facility!

A
short bio:
Brian Marine is the owner of Digital
Pro Audio, an online retailer specializing in computer-based
hardware & software and pro audio equipment for musicians and studios.
A long-time songwriter and home recording enthusiast, he also has
a varied career in the music industry. In the 80's, Brian was a
recording engineer at two NYC recording studios, and worked with
artists like Aretha Franklin, KISS and Stephen Bishop. In the late
80's he worked in the Music Department of the ad agency McCann-Erickson
as a music producer. Then in 1995 he started VisionWorks, a web
site development company focusing mainly on music-related sites
for independent record labels and pro audio retailers. In 1998,
seeing the lack of decent online pro audio/music instrument web
sites that catered to the home recording studio market, he started
Digital
Pro Audio, which has grown to the point that it is now his main
business.
