My name is Brian Dobbs. I created this site to share with you the many insights I have gained while recording my very own solo album titled The History Of Recorded Music. I would like to distinguish The History Of Recorded Music as an all-encompassing solo album. To read why, click the link above. While recording this album was a solo endeavor, topics discussed here can be applied to most recording applications.

Going into a recording studio and ultimately going home with a collection of songs is one of the most exciting and fulfilling experiences you can have in life. Although I don't provide industry secrets, I can tell you how I was able to achieve the goals I set for myself using the resources available to me at the time. I share this information simply for my love of recorded music.

In these modern times, the power of digital tools is at your fingertips. Take control of the creative process. The future of recorded music depends on your ability to realize and implement your creative potential.
