Looking more into procedures in a studio

More emphasis on recording 

Meetings are optional 

MATERIALS 
- mic (for recording and plugged into computer)

-bandlab is a browser based DAW ( I have logic, use bandlab when I don't have laptop?)

-soundgym (train your ear)

-the more you capture the better the sound
-input set 14 has a big echo
-pay attention to the performers/musicians actions (shy or confident)]]> 2021-02-16 23:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/avl3chuga/ykt3o2cs2qm61kgv/wish/1209038811 Tue Feb 23 avl3chuga https://padlet.com/avl3chuga/ykt3o2cs2qm61kgv/wish/1234123992 Mic an Amp

  • Pros:
    • Control over tone/sound
    • More realistic
    • Some special effects are possible (for example: guitar feedback)
  • Cons:
    • Requires additional gear in addition to a guitar (you need an amp)
    • It can get loud
    • Sound can bleed into other mics when recording an ensemble
    • Potential for more noise from surroundings in recording

  • Pros: 
    • Potential for very clean signal
    • Not loud (good for bedroom recording or late night sessions)
    • Isolation from other instruments recording simultaneously
    • No amp required (you can use amp simulator software as an alternative)
    • Most interfaces already include a DI feature (Hi-Z input)
  • Cons:
    • Not always ideal sounding or less realistic (some associate a "flat" sound quality)
    • Not possible to create natural effects (like feedback)

- you can use reverb to make a small room sound big and vise versa  - reverb can be used for piano on logic with chromaverb ]]> 2021-03-09 23:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/avl3chuga/ykt3o2cs2qm61kgv/wish/1290334988 Dynamic Processors avl3chuga https://padlet.com/avl3chuga/ykt3o2cs2qm61kgv/wish/1403222303 Dynamic Processor is something that outputs a signal.

I heard a lot of layering and distortion . I also noticed that peoples songs sounded really clear and not like I was searching for a sound. 
- I used matches and a foam roller in my song.
- The matches were an idea from a Billie Eilish song, where her brother uses matches for a snap sound.
-The most important thing I learned from this course was mic placement and reverb/EQ. Even tho I wasn't in a studio with mics and instruments I could imagine what it would be like to have to manage those expensive tools.
-In the final challenge where we had to act as though we were recording a song for a band I really got in the mindset of the sole operator. I was imagining recording, cleaning up, engineering, producing, and it all felt like a lot so it just made me appreciate what recording studios do and all the people they have working there. ]]> 2021-05-18 23:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/avl3chuga/ykt3o2cs2qm61kgv/wish/1537765084 real time V.S offline bouncing avl3chuga https://padlet.com/avl3chuga/ykt3o2cs2qm61kgv/wish/1537795721 Depending on the DAW, you may have two options when bouncing: real-time and offline. Real-time means the bounce happens on real-time and will take as long as the file is in length. Sometimes there is also the option to listen to the file as it's bouncing as a way to audit the success of the bounce. Offline bouncing happens as fast as the computer can handle. This can take just a few moments or nearly as long as the project length depending on the CPU. You will not have an option to list at the same time. With the modern computer, there shouldn't be any difference between these options and are just personal preference. (some audio professionals claim there is a benefit to realtime bouncing).

These effects are also more specialized and are not used in every production, which is why they are discussed after the more common gain-based/dynamic and time-based effects.Essentially, modulation effects rely on a modulator, like an LFO (aka: low frequency oscillator), to change a parameter at a specified rate of time. One way to imagine this is to think of someone rotating a parameter knob up and down while sound plays through. Having someone actually do this manually would be impractical so that is why an LFO takes on that duty. Depending on how the modulation is happening, you will encounter these common effects: Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Vibrato, and Tremolo.
