Steve's Recording Tips
Tips and tricks for Home Recording engineers. We're not sponsored by anyone. We try to use free plugins whenever can.
This home studio has been my sole source of income since 2002. My goal is to share what I've learned with the next generation of producers, the same way I have been helped by many great engineers I have worked with.
