FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Vocal recording over premade instrumentals (beats) i would say is the most common. rapping and singing. hiphop/pop/club styles. mixing down the vocals with the music, e.g. via eq, compression , deessing, and any other special effects required. usually a light master done to keep it competitive to the volume of commercially released material. Lots of variables per session but this would be the most common situation getting one song finished and mixed / mastered within the 2 hr minimum time frame
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Do your homework the right studio can do alot for your music. You wouldnt go to record a hip hop album with a engineer that has been doing rock and metal all his life would you?
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
I would that some things that matter are overlooked and people make a bigger deal out of things that have no significance. For instance the program you record on has absolutely nothing to do with quality it can be pro tools, cubase, nuendo, garageband, reel to reel lol.. You get the point. Its just a means to record and what really matters is that the engineer knows his program inside and out. Things that do matter would be the microphones, that has a big impact of the sound also the room you are recording in and if its treated or not.
