Vocal Recording & guide tracks

I sat down with My good pal Levente to write a new song. He contributed The Lyrics, and we spent an afternoon ironing out some Chord progressions and licks. A bit of structure. The next day I  layed down some guide tracks. 

Guitar Recording

Now that the vocal structure is in place, I moved on to re-recording The Guitar tracks. I used My marshall Cab with 3 mics total, two on the amp, 1 on the strings, paying attention to details such as placement and tone quality. the end result.. well you'll have to wait and see.

Drums & Editing

Had Curtis Come in to lay down some drums. It was a great session. Curtis, being a trained studio musician, laid it down in a few easy takes. That being said, I still took the time to do some editing.

the thing about editing is, sometimes it's necessary, sometimes it's not. It depends on a lot of things such as genre, how well the player has learned their part, and how talented of a musician they are to begin with.  

BASS Licks

Everybody loves the BASS. that is unless you're a musician, then the bass player is the butt end of every joke. That being said the Bass, Kick drum, and any instruments making up either the rhythm section or the Low-frequency range are critical to getting a quality end-product.

Cleaning up a session

By this point in the session, I had An abundance of tracks, 4 guitar, 9 Drums, 3 bass, 1 organ, 4 vocals, edits galore and it was beginning to run slow, despite having a powerful workstation. So i decided to go through and 'clean up' the session files. This video explains that.

Mixing without plugins

with a fresh mix session, I sit down and explain the basics of my approach to mixing, but i decided to challenge myself. Make this mix without using plugins. now, for those of you who don't know, plugins are special effects that are added into your audio program, called a DAW or Digital audio workstation. some people call this form of digital music production 'mixing in the box' the box being an all in one integrated studio that lives inside your computer.
