Episode show notes:

Benedikt & Malcom further explore the common mistakes that self-recording artists are making in this continuation of last week’s episode. 

They see a lot of re-occurring errors when working with self-recording artists. So they made these episodes so that you don't have to make these same mistakes.

 

Everybody makes mistakes and if you find that you have made some of these mistakes, go easy on yourself. We all have at some point! 

Hopefully though, by listening to this episode, you can prevent any future mishaps. 

 

So here is our list of recent home recording mistakes that we're discussing on the show:

 

·         Songs lacking layered vocals

·         Creating tight and harmonious vocal layers

·         Arranging your songs in an efficient way. ie: intentionally placing doubles & harmonies in places that serve the song

·         Comping on the fly

·         Drum comping

·         Creating seamless overdubs by punching in/out

·         Why it’s not a good idea to send just the MIDI files or DI tracks to your mixing engineer

 

So, let’s put the learning van into 6th gear and hurtle down the highway of knowledge, with the windows down. (aka let’s listen to this week’s episode) 😊
