    Welcome To The Simply Recording Podcast

    Posted in: Uncategorized
      |  by: Graham

    I have yet another announcement this week. My good buddy Joe Gilder of HomeStudioCorner.com and I have started a brand new podcast on all things audio. We call it the Simply Recording Podcast and we think it’s going to be pretty darn cool!

    Basically, the idea behind Simply Recording is that we all get too focused on random details and techniques when it comes to producing music. We wanted to create an atmosphere of practical help that is relevant to real musicians and engineers in the studio. The Simply Recording Podcast will be a regular thing, so be sure to bookmark it and subscribe to the iTunes feed.

    Head on over to www.SimplyRecordingPodcast.com right now for the very first episode!

    From Demo To Final Mix: A Real Life Example

    Posted in: Mixing, Uncategorized
      |  by: Graham

    Recently I was interviewed for a weekly podcast for musicians where the topic of the day was how to take your demos to the point of a solid final mix. It’s not a surprise to me that most of us are interested in how to get our songs from “great idea” to “great recording”. In fact I wrote a while back about taking your demos to the next level. But sometimes just hearing an example of this process will go along way for getting you motivated to make it happen with YOUR songs.

    A Complete Transformation

    I recently had the pleasure of recording a worship band from Virginia. I also got to mix the project, which meant I could be a part of the entire process from scratch demo to sending in the master for replication.  Today I simply want to share one of the songs off of the record and let you compare the original demo that I received to the final track. The biggest differences you’ll notice other than just sound quality are a solid arrangement, emotion in the vocal performance, and dynamics. As you work on your own recordings, think about how these three elements could take your demos to the next level!

    • @vladkodmc Totally, all he's using is EQ, limiting, and some stereo widening. All of that comes stock in many DAWs.11 hours ago
