셋업, 녹음, 믹싱, 마스터 링의 전체 생산 프로세스를 통해, 음의 최종 결과에 영향을 줄 수 이루어질 수있다 돌발 문제 또는 실수, 임의의 개수가있다. 여기에 8 빠른 제안은

1. Setup: Don’t wear too many hats

많은 사람들

2. Setup: Don’t skimp on the monitoring

프로젝트 전반에 걸쳐 당신이 만드는 모든 결정은 당신이 모니터를 통해 듣고 무엇을 기반으로, 그래서 이것은 하나의 영역입니다 정말 수

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

당신이 스튜디오 모니터에들을 수에 따라 달라 것처럼, 연주자들은 자신의 헤드폰 믹스에 듣고 무엇에 따라 달라집니다. 만약 백킹 트랙 블렌드 및 그들과 수행자의 균형

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

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.
