There is a whole aspect of freedom to recording at home that you don't get in a studio. The possibilities are infinite, and there is no reason not to explore them.

Being in a recording studio is a very different feel from performing onstage. I mean, obviously, you can't just go in and do what you would do onstage. It reads differently.

I don't have a formal home recording studio, but I can record tracks on my computer upstairs in my office.

I never record anything like a demo, I just go for it.

I've been making demos at home for many albums now. So over those years, I've learned how to record music, and I love being at home. I excel when I can make things at home.

All my vocals were recorded at home, which was great for me. You can actually have a studio in a computer program called ProTools. I did half the record with ProTools.

The room is the most important thing about recording.

My home studio is my private instrument for me only. It's not intended to record anyone but me.

Now, you can just get a laptop, get some software, put a microphone on it and make a record. You have to know how to do it. It does help if you've had 35 or 40 years of experience in the studio. But, it still levels the playing field so artists can record their own stuff.

Performing is a thing in itself, a distinct skill, different from making recordings. And for those who can do it, it's a way to make a living.
