Edgar Sounds Recording Studio

Introduction: If you have not spent many hours in studios, you might be a bit scared of the studio situation: You are locked up in a sound proof booth, you can communicate only through headsets and you may be looking into the control room through a thick glass, where you see the technicians - but you have no idea what they are doing or are talking about. How could you perform at your very best in such a situation? This is why I as audio engineer do not work in a separated control room. To get the best out of the performers in my studio I want them to feel at home. I’ll be sitting next to them and we can talk just person to person. If you don’t hear the right mix in your headset, if you want more echo on your voice etc. – I am right there. No need to finish a tack before you can listen back. Punch in a note or phrase is very easy if we sit next to each other. And if you are interested, you can even watch and learn how I work with my tools (Logic Pro or Reaper) Multi-track recording a full band works the same way. In the first session the band plays in one room – drums are mic’d, the rest is recorded from line-ins. Every player has an individual mix on his/her headset; it’s just right to hear exactly what they need to hear to perform at their best. I am in the middle – no hassle with communication – and take care of the recording and the headset mixes. In the next sessions musicians come in one by one to overdub tracks, to punch in fixes or to record additional tacks e.g. for vocals. "You helped me make my dream come true" - I am hearing this again and again from musicians I record. This is basically why I love my work, because I can help others with their dreams and visions.
