Recording

Live instrument recording begins with a well tuned instrument in a well treated room. Mic placement and proximity are the most important and can be the presiding factor in the track. Where the vocals or instrument are located and how they interact with the microphone plays a vital role in giving clear, warm and refined audio takes. I often record artists vocals at my home recording room with sound panels. I also have access to many sound proof recording studios in the Northern Rivers. These can be organised on request by the artist.

I use Audient preamps for the clearest sounding takes along with my choice of Shure, AKG and Aston microphones. There is a saying in music production “get it right at the source”. Which translates to musicians and producers alike that the recording session is where the journey begins and time and preperation must be done to get the best takes in the time allowed to move forward to the mixing stage.

I have an extensive collection of virtual instruments including midi controlled keyboards, pianos, guitar amp sims, drums and synthesizers.

I can do some tracking at my home recording space or i have available on request many recording studio spaces in the greater Byron shire area. The studio spaces would need to be booked and paid for in advance by the artist. It is usually a small hourly fee for the space only as i take my own recording setup.

Please see Recording Tips page for more information on how to prepare for your recording session before the day.

Enjoy your music journey and studio tracking sessions each one is a positive learning experience.
