Visiting a recording studio? You need to proceed with all the precautions and knowledge so that you don’t create a mistake. Experts at Songmill recording studio suggest that there is a lot involved in learning and putting together the basics to get the advanced level music. If you want to create music from a sample-based instrument, you need to be aware of the simple steps. Let us guide you through those.
Planning
Often people do not realize the importance of planning in recording. Planning has always been an important step but there is something very less as far as attention is concerned. If you are sampling an instrument, the best thing to do is put up an organized procedure. Before diving into the bigger planning structure, you may start from the pre-planning.
Every instrument is different and thus, a particular idea is required accordingly. If you are proceeding with acoustic instruments, you need to learn about it first.
There is a lot you need to know about the instrument such as the following
- What is the highest note I can play from the instrument?
- In how many ways can I play this instrument?
- What are the best ways to record this instrument?
- How is the instrument recorded and decided?
- What is the general dynamic range for the instrument?
You also need to know about the pitch differences with dynamics and articulations so that you can save time as well as money. Dynamic and articulation needs to be taken care of from the initial level itself.
Record
Got your master plan? It’s time that you dive into recording. Once you have selected the instrument of your choice, make sure to choose the best way to record. A combination of different size mics can be the best for experimentation. Also, it is necessary that you place these mics thoroughly so that you can achieve clean voice.
Edit
Nothing can ever go wrong with editing. Once you have confirmed the list of instruments and recorded the sound it is extremely necessary to edit it the right way. This is one of the best yet the toughest parts. But, if you have organized everything in a proper manner, editing won’t be an issue.
If you have recorded individual audio, you need to trim it down effectively. This prevents the downgrade from the original sample too. It is necessary to avoid pops and clicks to avoid any disadvantage or downgrade in the edited version.
