Recording Techniques – Quick Tips for getting the job done. It’s about listening – A home studio should be a listening area, not a gear showcase. Your music must translate outside of you studio. Serious monitoring problems can be solved by getting the listener and the speakers in the right position. Expand Your Sense Of What’s Appropriate – Amplitude, Ampfarm, and Sansamp are useful on just about everything but guitars. Experiment with different environments, inside your home, the celler, walk-in closet, etc. Do your vocals in the back yard… if it soundz right, then just do it! For example, record your slide guitar work through an amp and mic set-in an empty bath-tub while you play in the other room.
Get a Digital Camera – Stumble upon a cool mic set up? Shoot a picture of it. Use your cell phone if that takes pictures. You’ll find it much easier to duplicate your set-up later. Remember the control settings on hardware devices? Create a template of the panels and write down where the dials point. However, a few front shots with the camera is much easier. When using software, create a print screen and save it. Store all of these items in the same folder as the project folder.
Consider Old School Options – Use the minimalist approach. Experience teaches it’s a good thing to commit to something and stay with it. Rather than come back to it a second or third time. This way you come up with a sound piece of work, rather than a bland mix.
“Stay in the mentality of simplicity and be far more concerned with the creative decisions than technical nonsense.”
Remember the old “Yin-Yang” principle which states, “whenever you turn something up, something else disappears..." Establishing Your Mix
"Most of my songs are about Jesus. Most of my songs are about the idea that there is salvation, and that there is a Savior. But I won't mention his name in a song just to get a cheap play." -- Peter Townsend
