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...  

Ao longo de todo o processo de produção de configuração, gravação, mixagem, masterização e, há uma série de problemas que podem surgir, ou erros que podem ser feitas, que podem ter impacto negativo sobre os resultados finais. Aqui estão 8 sugestões rápidas

1. Setup: Don’t wear too many hats

Muitas pessoas

2. Setup: Don’t skimp on the monitoring

Toda decisão que você faz todo o projeto é baseado no que você ouve através dos monitores, por isso esta é uma área que realmente pode

Fig 1 Monitoring is key—appropriate studio monitors and good musicians’ headphone mixes can make a big difference

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

Assim como você depender do que você ouve sobre os monitores de estúdio, os artistas dependem de o que se ouvem em suas mixagens de fone de ouvido. Se a mistura de faixas de apoio eo equilíbrio entre eles e o performer

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

Muitas vezes, durante o rastreamento, você pode sentir que você

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

Essa frase é uma velha piada indústria fonográfica

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

Isto pode não ser sempre uma opção, mas sempre que possível,

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

Pode ser uma boa prática

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

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.
