Abstract
Personal computers and their relevant technologies
have been widely used by artists and musicians to create and
record their own music and electroacoustic compositions.
“Laptoppers” are famous for using their laptops for their
dance/electronic beats and music. A genre that has not relied on
the use of PCs for the production of its music is rock/heavy
metal, since bands of these genres usually book recording studio
time where professionals take on the task of the production using
expensive equipment. This study shows that in today’s day and
age, and with the software and hardware currently available, it is
possible for rock/metal artists to use their PC to record and
produce their own CD successfully and at an extremely
competitive cost. The effort’s of a rock band that does just this is
followed from the beginning and the results of their CD
production and song successes is presented. The article also
serves as a “HowTo” guide that bands on a low budget can
follow to make good quality demo CDs and enter the music
business industry.
