Hello! New member looking for advice on home recording.

Hey,

A friend who lives in a different state and I have been discussing starting a music project. We've been in a couple of bands together in person, but I've recently moved. Since we won't be able to practice together, we need a means of sending recordings back and forth. I see this as a great opportunity to get into diy music production! I'd like to read some books on music production to understand the foundational principles before/as I get started. I'll want to record electric guitar and vocals. My friend will want to record bass and vocals, and we'll probably use samples for drums. The style of music will be metal. Suggestions on good books, hardware, software (I have a mac, and my friend has a pc), and methods will be greatly appreciated!

Hi and welcome. I am wondering if you might want to post these questions in some of the other forums rather than here in the Introductions. Good luck with it.
