Here is the Quick Rundown of
What To Expect in The Band Recording Process<\/em><\/u><\/strong>: <\/p>\n

Your Songs Should Already be Written & Well-Rehearsed.<\/p>\n

In most cases, we will record the drums first. While we are recording the drums, the bassist (sometimes the guitarist or other) will often also play along in a way that the drummer can hear. The drummer may also use a metronome. We usually use headphones to achieve this. This bass (or other) will either not be recorded, or it will be at a very quiet level. (When it later comes time for the bassist to record his part, he will generally be playing these same parts he had played quietly.)<\/p>\n

We then break for the day. We need to get the drum tracks on the computer and prepare the song projects. <\/p>\n

When we come back together to continue recording, we usually record the bass next. Rhythm guitar typically follows. By this point, most vocal parts can then be recorded. Alternatively, lead guitar, solos, and additional instruments like keyboards or brass can also be added when desired. There will generally be a plan for what will be recorded during a day\u2019s session. <\/p>\n

After everything is recorded, we break again. Early mixes are made, and we discuss what changes, if any, should be made before the final mix. <\/p>\n

When the mix is decided, audio files with this mix are created, and they can then be emailed, uploaded, and\/or burned to CDr as needed. <\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
