INterview about mixing 2011 mar

1. What is the process or order in recording a song(s) or steps that are taken?
There’s no set rules in regards to producing a great song. However, there are some common things that are commonly done.
Mic selection/and placment: choosing the right mic for the source and placing it to best capture the instrument.
Recordings each instrument separately: This is done either with or without a click track. Some productions require a tight groove and thus a click track acts us a guide to help everyone record in time. Other productions are more organic and don’t require a click track/metronome, this also has benefits as some songs slow down and speed up as per the bands natural inner groove.
Selecting/editing/arrangment: Before mixing the raw recordings, the band and the producer will go through each record takes and edit the best bits from all the various takes. – this creates a best OFF snapshot of the recorded parts.
Tidying and clean up - this ensures that edits don’t clip or create pops and erroneous noises and thuds are removed from the recorded audio files prior to mixing.
Mixing: This is process involves balancing Levels, frequencies distribution (via eq ), and stereo imaging (via panning l r). Also FX like delays and reverb or modulation effects such as Chorus, flanger etc are add to create interest to the mix. The art of mixing is to present the recorded materical in the most musical way that enhances the emotional content/prose of the song. Mixing has no rules - this is the common believe from industry/seasoned professionals.

2. What type of software is used (or you specifically use) in the recording and/or editing of music?
DAW of choice: Logic Studio

3. What type of microphone would you recommend for recording and why?
I love my m149, it’s a beautiful hi-end tube microphone which is perfect for vocal recordings – male and female.

4. What are your rates for the use of your studio and recording music?
$66- $140 / hr

5. If I were to record at home, are you aware of any programmes I could use or recommend any software that may be useful?
Logic Express (lite version of logic studio)

6. Do you as a studio allow people cover current artists’ tracks or do consumers need to present their own music and lyrics?
Yes, but copyright clearance is the responsibility of the artist and not the recording studio. The licensing can be obtained via APRA in OZ or via Harry fox agency in US.

Good luck with you research ☺

Happiness

Well, I just read that "The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have." imho, the most Happiest of people are the ones that seem to get everything they want and never have to make do. Nevertheless, getting everything you want may not always make you happy. Happiness ilIudes most of us sometimes, if only the state of happiness were as easy a conscious decision to be happy, then it would be very easy to just think yourself into a state of happiness whenever you like. From past observation, we as a society tend to treasure the things that don't come easy and unconsciously overlook the simple things in life. Happiness is relative and never constant. For example, a modern man wishing for fresh drinking water doesn't think twice about filling his glass with water from a tap - quenching his thirst doesn't make him happy, whilst this very same man stranded on a dessert safari would be over joyed just to get one bottle of water he needs to survive.

Physical stress ie. lack of rest/sleep, or mental stress, the inability to cope with a certain task, or when reality is far from your expectations can lead to being unhappy.

The solution is simple. Rest. Work. And Play in moderation. Balance is the key to achieving a happier life. They are two sides to every one, dark and light, good vs evil - which is why the most evilest of people can do the most heroic of deeds and the trusted most honorable of people can abuse and defile the most sacred of things. Next time you hang out with someone, observe if you bring out the worst or best in them? Are you the cause of someone unhappiness? or are you the source of someone's joy?
