Home Recording Pitfalls
Tony,
So many recording artists it seems now, regardless of their career status, are recording some tracks at home or in other non-studio environments. How often are you getting tracks recorded at home or elsewhere (outside a pro-studio environment) AND do you see issues with these tracks? Pitfalls to avoid? Really appreciate your time here! |

Ya, that's happening much more so than ever before. In some ways it's great; if the artistic direction allows it. i.e. a guitar vocal track by a singer song writer, or groovy hipster band, going for 'lofi' in their rehearsal room. It becomes a problem when producer/writers start recording vocals and instruments in acoustically challenged environments and then expect it to sound like a giant pop song. When they want it to compete on that level, they've got to pay attention to those details. Now that being said, I just completed a few mixes on the Reni Lane new release and my friend Dave Patillo recorded most of the tracks in his personal studio. He did a great job at knowing when to spend a little dough and rent a mic and good pre. As well as, head out to a 'proper' room and record a drum kit. This shows that the idea of 'Multiroom' recording can work great if done with the care and consideration it deserves... yeee, t |
