Back in the day, in order to record your music, you needed to save up a lot of money to enter a brick-and-mortar recording studio. As each hour ticked by, you felt your wallet growing thinner and your anxiety growing higher. It was an expensive prospect, and simply trying to put two or three songs on tape could suck you dry financially. With the advent of digital, you no longer needed to go somewhere else to record your music. You could record at home on digital recording machines for a fraction of what it would have cost to book a proper studio. Now you don't even need to have digital recording gear--you can record on your cellphone.
