Recording 2






About the recording processes, i normally program the drums 1st, then i flag the verse, chorus, pre-chorus..etc so i have a very clear motive on what where and when i need to record. i will then record the bass, make sure the bass string is new or only 1 year old, we don't normally change bass strings often. Very costly, about RM100 per pack( mana boleh tahan change every month) :(
Ok , then i will listen to it back and make sure the bass fit the drums fullfilling it's job. Then i will record the guitars, rythm then fills then solo. For solo, i will record more then 10 times, and take the best take or edit the best parts together. hahaha, then the vocals.
When it comes to mixing, rule number 1, apply a compressor to every track.
Then EQ, then balance all. Mixing depends on each situation.
Then i will rest for a few days, and then come back for a listen on the final mix. Sometimes you will listen to it differently. So i will come back a few times until i'm satisfied.
