A FEW THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE RECORDING PROCESS (and how its broken down)
SONGWRITING
Songwriting is step #1, its simply the process of writing songs by coming up with strong catchy melodies, phrasing of words, & writing lyrics that tell a cohesive yet intriguing story that draws the listener in and holds their attention.
PRODUCTION
The magic of the song! Producing or Song Production, is the process of arranging/tweaking/refining the ideas involved in the songwriting session. This is also where the music is written/created to fit the vibe, story and vision of the song.
RECORDING
This is between you and the microphone, capturing the vocal performance take after take, that will make it into your song. Typical vocal recording time per song is about 1-2hrs for a singer. So rest up and stay hydrated!
MIXING
Once the song has finished the production and recording phase, it will then enter the 'mixdown' where track volumes are set, frequencies are EQ'd and the vocal recordings are tuned and compressed and your song begins to take its final shape as a Radio Quality song ready for Mastering.
MASTERING
Mastering is a fine art and a very important final step! We do NOT do mastering (No actual recording studio should, and if they offer it, run!) Mastering takes the final mix we provide and elevates it into an even cleaner polished final product. Picture getting your car detailed, sure it comes out clean and fresh, but if you spring for the wax it will come out looking like you just drove it off the dealer lot. (Thats kinda what Mastering does to your song) We can refer you to a few great Mastering Engineers once your song is finished.
