13. Conclusion

Home recording is a topic that is quite complex, actually. As you have been able to see, a budget PC with a multimedia sound card is just not enough. To see your project of recording your own music bear fruit, make sure that the components of your recording are suitable to each other. You do not have to invest a fortune - manufacturers offer great solutions for smaller budgets, too. But all you components must work well together.

Don't let the complexity of your DAW software discourage you - just make sure you understand what your system can do for you. No-one has been born a master of the craft; we all have had to learn. But you will definitely get more enjoyment out of your hobby if you know your equipment and can therefore get the best possible result from your recording.
