Ever wondered how to record music in you own home, hook up a keyboard to your personal computer, or set up a system to remix a dance track?

Your personal computer can be your key to the once impenetrable music industry. So how can you get started on this exciting journey? Reading Getting Started in Computer Music is an excellent first step.

Getting the best possible sound from your setup
And much more!
Mark Nelson has been a recording and performing musician since before he could drive, which was a very long time ago indeed. A masterful player of the acoustic guitar, Appalachian dulcimer, and other folk instruments, he has appeared everywhere from Kansas to Kaunakakai and from Barrow to Boston. Nelson is equally at home on both sides of the glass in the recording studio, as a producer, engineer, or musician. He has written about music technology for numerous magazines, including Electronic Musician, Music and Computers, Revolution, and MIDI Guitar. In addition, Nelson and famed Hawaiian musician Keola Beamer host the semiannual Aloha Music Camp, an immersion in the music and culture of Hawaii, held on the island of Hawaii.
