A web magazine for home recording enthusiasts has a feature recommending that the person who has just made a home studio recording compare this against a professional production. The writer states that the reason for this is that a home studio does not have professional acoustics. Thus, the person’s home might mute some frequencies and raise others. As a result, a home production might sound good at home but might not be so in other places. The writer gives some tips on how to adjust the recording.
Key Takeaways:

- Only use quality sources as reference points, don’t use MP3s.
- Match your reference material to the type of music you are actually trying to create.
