When I first started recording music at home, I was a little out at sea initially trying to find out how others had started, what mistakes they’d made and any suggestions they had. However, I found it very hard to find an appropriate source that wasn’t just arguments on a forum.

Now, I’m not saying I know more than anyone else, and certainly far less than some but hopefully I can be a helping hand for anyone in my shoes 11 years ago.

As more articles are written, they will appear as links below, along with a short snippet in the Grok blog. I hope you enjoy and feel free to comment or reach out. Apologies, if it might take a while to write all articles – at least you know what’s coming!
