Never Set Your Faders Before Vocals

Hey everyone today i want to talk about setting your faders before you start to record your vocals, and setting your faders before your vocals is one of the worst thing's you can do because when we set our faders we want to get a good mix right so when we do that we bring out faders up so we can hear everything thats playing so we can hear the guitar the drums the bass everything. But then what happens is when you go to record your vocals and when you put those head phones on and you press record you cant hear your self sing because everything is to loud i mean sure you can turn everything down but then you just wasted so much time getting it to the right level you want your mix to be at. So the best thing to do before you mix anything in your song like, before you add any plugins any effects make sure your all done tracking everything first because you start to set your levels and add your plugins and effects because then in the end you'll have a great mix trust me. 

Acoustic Treatment

So i got a message today from one of my friends who is getting into the recording stage of setting up his recording studio and he bought all this gear and he called me over because it was time for him to hang his acoustic treatment on the walls, but he had know clue where to put it. So he asked me is there a right spot to put acoustic panels, and i said yes. So what i was telling him is your desk that you work at needs to be centered in the middle of the room and then you need to hang your first acoustic panel where the first sound wave is going to hit the wall. 

So what i did is i showed him a great trick and this trick will help for everyone so all you singer and song writers and producers out there who are making music this will help you.

Take a merre move it along the wall until you see the first cone of the speaker in the merer and then thats where your going to put your first acoustic panel on the wall, and then do the same thing for the other side of the room. It will always help your room by putting bass traps in the corners of the room behind the speakers so that bass sound dose not build up in the corners of the room. Because then when your going to be hearing in your speakers is just a muddy mess of noise its not that song you want to hear 

But hanging acoustic treatment you don't need a lot of it because your not trying to kill the sound in the room you just want to control it so putting up to much acoustic treatment can be bad for your room.

And don't just put up treatment because it looks cool you have to have a reason for it i mean you may have a room that you don't need acoustic treatment you may have a room that dose not have windows it only has wall to wall carpet and thats great 

If you have that stand in the middle of your room and clap your hands loud if you hear a ring you might just need like 2 or 3 acoustic panels or you might not need any because the carpet it doing all the work. 

The other thing i want to talk about is acoustic treatment is not sound proofing i"v had people come up to me and asked is acoustic treatment sound proofing then answer is know the only thing acoustic treatment is doing is keep the sound from bouncing around the room. The acoustic treatment is not stoping the other sounds that are coming in from the outside of the room 

So ask your working in your home recording studio 

Hears tow things your going to have to deal with 

Your going to have to learn your room and the way it works

And your going to have to learn how to set it up the right way so you get the best sound out of it 

I hope all this information helped you all on how acoustic treatment is importing in your home recording studio and if you have any more questions on acoustic treatment please email me or questions on anything els please fell free to ask me those questions to

The Wonderful Life Of Song Writing

The Right Mix

I mean all you Musicians out there who have home recording studios your always looking for the best mix, but let me tell you write now in a home recording studio there's know such thing as the best mix because in a home recording studio there's always going to be something your going to have to face. It could be your room the way it's set up, it could be tow many windows in your room and the sound is bouncing all around in there, It could be you have your studio tucked back in a counre and thats the last place you want your studio to be. So there's a lot of reasons why you can get the right mix in your home recording studio. 

Now i know you want your music to sound like the pros but the thing is the pros have a studio thats acoustic treated & sound proof and the room there in is built and made for recording in a house like the houses we live in there not acoustic treated but you can acoustic treat it your self and i do say you go out and buy some acoustic treatment for your studio because it dose help, But what i was say it our homes that we live in are not sound proof there not acoustic treated, so those are all the things your going to have to work around your going to have to learn your room and learn how to work in it. The number thing you can fix is by buying some acoustic treatment and putting it up on the wall i do say you should go out and buy some cause its helpful and it will bring down a lot of the echo 

How You Should Save Your Money In Your Studio

Before you start to buy anything of any kind of equipment for your recording studio you need to set a budget on how much you want to spend on the studio. After you have your budget down you want to think witch room will I be building my recording studio in and will the equipment I buy fit in hear, and also will all my equipment fit on my desk. So there's some things you need to think about before you go out and buy all this stuff he's a good tip for all you producers out there who are just getting into the recording stage of recording your home music. Stick with buying the little equipment you don't have to go big, because big dose not always mean better so if stick with the little equipment you will be find then. I mean I've been recording and producing music for about 10 years now and I still use like a audio interface with only 2 inputs on it and it works on great.

But if your planning on recording drums 

The go a little bigger make sure you buy a audio interface that has 8 inputs so that you have a input for each drum. So stick with buying little equipment before its a great way to save money unless your recording drums then that's another story 

Cause people think you need to go out and buy all this great big equipment know don't listen to those people I mean I was at that point once there and I learned that if you just start small you'll be find because some of the world top producers still are using till this day the littlest Equitment to make amazing music 

And the other thing is when you get to the store don't go crazy shopping like picking up the littlest things and going home and making music because that's another way to wast money stick to what I told you and you'll be find start small 

So I hope this review helped you on what Equitment you should buy and how you should save money 

Have a good day
