About

Welcome to GarageSong.com – a site dedicated to home recording, and music production on a budget.

Hi – my name is Eric Nelson and I’m the one behind this site. I, basically, made this site to share what I’ve learned, over the years, about recording and producing music at home on a limited budget.

I’m just a home recording hobbyist and artist that has been doing this stuff for quite awhile now. I first got into home recording with a Tascam four track recorder. Things certainly have changed.

I, actually, went to school, to learn how to engineer and produce music in a big studio, many years ago…ahem…1996. Okay, depending on your age, it wasn’t all that long ago.

Seriously though, it’s never been more affordable to create and record music anywhere you want to – and it’s only going to get better.

Why Budget Home Recording?

What’s so great about recording on a budget? Actually, there’s nothing great about it.

It seems that I’ve been on a tight budget for most of my life…er, all of my life.

I just don’t have a lot of money to throw around, let alone to buy a bunch of expensive recording gear. So, I do what I can with what I have.

I have a feeling I’m not alone.

To be honest, I absolutely love this stuff. I love music, recording, recording gear, music gear and making music.

While I’m probably not the best singer, songwriter or musician, I still love trying to make music.

I’m fairly sure I’ll never get rich from making music, but I don’t really care. I make music because I love to do it.

And I’m fairly sure that’s why you make music. Tight budget or not, we love to create music, and that’s what this site is all about.

I hope you enjoy this site as much as I do making it.
