tip of the day?

Want backing vocals in your track? Want it to sound like a choir? When engineers record real choirs they typically use 2 mics at most. Simulate this by standing in different places away from the mic and recording those vocals.

It'll simulate the way vocalists individual voices interplay with a room's sound and the effect on their distance to the mic.

tip of the day?

If you want a track to sound old, nostalgic, retro, you can use any old tape recorder. Old dictaphones are great for this

Take your track & add a sound at the very beginning of the stem (like a clap) as this will help you align later.

Press record on the tape first. Hold it by the speakers. Press play on a solo'd track. Rerecord the line out or use a mic on the internal speaker for more grunge!

Like the sound of a room or stairwell? Want to recreate that in your DAW? Take a recorder (can even be your phone for added effect), stand a few feet away from it and clap your hands as quick and loud as you can.

Now import that clap sound into a convolution reverb effect. It should give you a nice approximation.

Put a multiband compressor on bass guitar to even out that playing and get the tonal range smooth in a mix.

1/2 When comparing outstanding (German rap) album "Deluxe Soundsystem" (qobuz.com/ch-fr/album/deluxe-s) from 2000 with "Hochkultur 2" (qobuz.com/ch-fr/album/hochkult), released yesterday, it is the missing thread in the and only marginally the maybe less confident but still unique of Samy Deluxe that make the new album fall off.

It's weird to distrust your own brain.

I'm at an awkward stage of recovery, where I can do many things, but some, like music composition, are beyond me. I can noodle with instruments and it sounds good in the studio, but I can't seem to assemble the components into structural wholes. I'm trying to accept how I am, of perhaps how I'll remain, while still trying to progress musically. It's weird and frustrating, the part of my mind that went away.
