Tips for Recording:
-
Try to record about 5-6 inches away from your microphone.
-
Record in a place with many soft dense/sound absorbing items like pillows and blankets or clothes (closets work great if you cont have acoustic foam or a studio to record in)
-
Record Quiet to avoid clipping and distortion. I can always turn up your vocals to the desired volume.
-
Warm up and do a few takes unrecorded then record.
-
Dont "One Shot" the song. Multiple takes are fine, just pick and choose the best ones to send to me for compiling.
-
If you are using an interface, turn the gain down till its audible BUT not extremely loud.
-
Sending Raw audio in WAV or FLAC format gives it a lossless format which is why it takes longer to send (The audio is uncompressed and gives full frequency access).
-
Do not add any effects to the vocals. Remember, its easy to add, but if done wrong, its hard to fix then. You can only add, not remove.
-
Try to give your audio engineer/mixer at least 2 weeks in advance as they have lives too.
-
Respect is key to a good experience. Respect the person working to help you and they are usually more inclined to do a better job.
