音楽を製造する際に回避する8間違い

So you're ready to record, mix and master that song/album/soundtrack? Joe Albano is here to ensure you don't succumb to any common pitfalls during the process. These tips should help...  

セットアップ、レコーディング、ミキシング、マスタリングの生産プロセス全体を通して、負の最終結果に影響を与える可能性が行うことができ、最大切り抜くことができ、問題、または間違い、任意の数があります。ここでは8迅速な提案があります

1. Setup: Don’t wear too many hats

多くの人々

2. Setup: Don’t skimp on the monitoring

プロジェクト全体であなたが作るすべての決定は、あなたがモニターを通して聞くものに基づいて、これは一つの領域であることを本当にすることができます

3. Recording: Don’t ignore the performers’ monitor mix

あなたはスタジオモニターで聞くものに依存するのと同じように、出演者は​​彼らのヘッドフォンミックスで聞くものに依存します。もしバッキング・トラックをブレンドし、それらとパフォーマーの間のバランス

4. Recording: Don’t commit to processing on the way in

多くの場合、追跡中に、あなたがいることを感じるかもしれません

5. Recording: Don’t “fix it in the mix”

そのフレーズは、古いレコード業界のジョークです

6. Mixing: Don’t mix the same day as recording & editing 

これは、常にそれは、オプションであってもよいが、可能な限りない可能性があります

7. Mixing: Don’t try to make a mix sound like a master

Fig 3 Engineers are split over whether to add stereo bus processing in the mix, or leave it until the mastering stage

それは良い練習することができます

8. Mastering: Don’t master your own mixes

Fig 4 A proper mastering facility and engineer brings not only fresh ears, but experience and a reliable monitoring environment to the important final step of the production process

そして、それは私の最後の提案に私たちをもたらします

そして、その

All good, but I would add one more that's even more important than "Don't Skimp on Monitoring", and that is, "Don't Skimp on a room Treatment". I would argue that this is a cheaper (maybe), yet even more critical part of the monitoring (and possibly recording) chain. What's more is that often in project studios, you are recording in the same room as mixing, so the quality of your tracking will be improved too: you'll kill two birds with one stone.

The unsexy thing is it's more complicated and takes a lot more time and knowledge than deciding how much you want to spend on a pair of shiny new near fields. However, even the best monitors available are going to give unsatisfactory results in a poorly treated space. Instead of spending $800 on a pair of high-mid end monitors, for instance, I would argue that money would be vastly better spent if you took $400 and put it into room treatment, and settled for some slightly less pricy (but still adiquate) monitors.

On a budget, DIY solutions can be 4-8x cheaper than pre-made treatment, using the exact same materials and achieving the same results, but it takes lots of time and effort.
