Recording Tips
Broadly speaking, the recording can be divided into several categories. According to the recording techniques and tools used by.
According to the equipment used, the tape can be divided into two. Analog and Digital. Was according to the recording technique, can be divided into technical and Multi track Recording Live Recording. OK younger brothers and sisters, let us examine one by one.
By way of analog recordings made using reel to reel tape. This recording system is costly because the instrument itself is also not cheap. I once heard a reel to reel tape if the price is there to reach 200 million. Automatic, only the major studios who have this system. In addition to the exorbitant price, the analog system is also well known for complex and expensive treatments are needed. Regardless of the system is complicated and the exorbitant price, ways to generate analog sound is thicker and warmer.
Digital recording is a recording system that can directly convert analog signals from instruments and vocals into a digital format. This digital recording media can use the Digital recorder or computer. This technique is much cheaper and simpler when compared to analog systems. Quite a computer with a soundcard that adequate and you can simply step on the gas. At the beginning of this emerging technique, practitioners complain about the quality of sound recording thin tapes. But now it can be overcome with the emergence of various products preamp (signal booster) is good in the market. Today, almost all recording studios both large and small, prefer digital recording. Because the price is not too expensive, digital recording is finally pushing orang2 to open a recording studio. Only the 25 million we’ve been able to have this system. I have not even until 5 million already be using that recording.
Recording Tips
Now, let us peered about recording techniques; Live and Multi track.
Live recording is a recording technique in which all players play together in a room and also play them simultaneously recorded onto certain media. In terms of cost, this technique is less expensive than multitrack. Some of the major studios set tariff is slightly tilted to the live recording. The advantages of the live recording in my opinion is if we can was really get a feel and energy of the songs that we recorded. The disadvantage, we have the game was really perfect. All personnel are required to master the material properly. Because in this technique, if one of the personnel make mistakes, the recording process must be repeated from the beginning. Therefore, the practitioners do not recommend recording technique for the beginner.
Multitrack recording is a recording technique in which each instrument is recorded in turn. The technique was first introduced by Les Paul, if not wrong about epidemic in the 60s. In this technique, the player can relax a little bit because it could repeat his part over and over again. Even with the wonders of digital multitrack recording, when we make mistakes, we do not need to repeat the whole section. Quite the wrong part wrote. Pass the first time recording with this technique until I was shocked because bener2 easy and not exhausting. If incorrect, record again. Some small start introduce multitrack studio is for beginners who mo ngrekam band2 demo. Obviously with the tilted SUPER prices!
Well, after a multitrack recording process, we will enter a process called mixing. In this process, we have all the records will be merged into a single whole. Mixing is an important part in the recording process because it determines the final result of our recordings. Mixing involves several processes therein. Process include: Equalizing; the coloring process sound, Panning; stereo settings, and reverberation; adding reverb to sound effects recordings.

First, usually drums were recorded first. In the process of recording drums. Drummer using a metronome tempo as a guide. Was to guide the song, usually one of the other personnel who accompanied the playing of the control room.
Both Bass, Part is the most simple. Take one time is usually sufficient.
Third, Part Rhythm / accompanist. In this section rhythm guitar, keyboards, acoustic guitar, and all instruments recorded accompaniment. Usually all part rhythm recorded 2 times.
