Sound Recording Technique 2

The recording of the track is done. I managed to re-record what needed to be redone. All that’s left is to get the song mixed and mastered

On 9/12/2019, my peer will came to play a bass and guitar piece. It really added some warmth to my piece. Cheers Will! Just need to re record the kick drum & hi hat!

Recording of the snare. Duct tape was added to control the ring or sustain of the drum.

I recorded the kick drum twice. One with the hole covered, and the other without the hole covered. We compare the 2 recording and preferred the recording with the hole covered.

The recording of Vocals. I figured that sitting down is much more convenient since the vocalist can feel at ease. The microphone is placed at the artist’s height.

Recording of Hi-hat

So far, I have recorded some vocals and the drum (kick drum, hi-hat and snare). So today I done a rough mixed of what I have recorded so far. I added some EQ and compression to every element and created a dynamic balance by setting everything at the right volume. I bounced the song to MP3 so i can listen in headphones and everything sounds in place.

To wrap things off, I decided to book a session for me to edit, mix and master the entire session. I have a rough mixed on the song already but this session will be for me to fully polish the song with the plan i have. This day will be very interesting.

Session for recording of guitar and bass.

Just spoke with my guitarist and bassist. We agreed on a time and day to meet and record a guitar and bass solo.

During my session, I was able to record 80% I needed to record and do a rough mix. I recorded the drums and added some vocals with my artist. I really broke down how I recorded the drums especially due to struggling to mount the hi-hat. All that’s left to record is the guitar and bass

Booked the studio, I think this session will be enough to get everything sorted. Got my second (backup) engineer with me, got my vocalist, got my guitarist and I’m the percussionist [or drummer; still contemplating whether I should record drums]. This is due to be interesting

Spoke to my fellow classmate Will. He is willing to play a little guitar solo for this song. But the question is, will he be able to play a solo piece of my music genre? Won’t be a big deal if he can’t because it will keep things open and let me experiment with something new.
