A few months ago I posted a overview of my background in recording music called My Audio Background. It is time to revisit this theme and I wanted to go over a few recording studio tips that I feel the artists need to know before entering the studio.
There are two sides of recording music, the engineering and the performance. Typically the performer is coming into the engineers ‘space’ or ‘world’ in order to capture as best as possible, their art. That being said, and myself having played both roles, I am confident that if you take these suggestions into consideration the next time that you record, it will go much smoother for everyone involved.

In an attempt to start a new series for myself to maintain, I wanted to write a little bit about Recording, Mixing, and Mastering. Before I get into the specifics of each process, I wanted to give some background about my experience with recording and editing audio.

While this was sufficient for short recordings there were not many options. It was time to move on, The O finds Gold Wave, a very functional piece of software with a variety of effects for us to try. Thus begins the musical group and movement Wireman.
While Gold Wave was great, it would only allow us to edit one track at a time. - Read more
