Clam Soup
Project 49
Recording music is difficult. ... yeah, I always knew there was going to be more to it than just hitting a button and playing, but I am afraid I'm ruining more than I'm capturing for a simple lack of knowledge.
So, I'm going to start over and ask for help in the simple parts first.
Is there a 1, 2, 3 that most everyone employs, or is everything going to be subject to style/genre?
What I am trying to create is a songwriter's demo. Nothing overloaded with gimickry, but a basic dry
recording that best suits the nature of the songs in their raw form. At the same time, I want these tracks to be clean (not too muddy - not too bright) so that other folks can work with them and dress them out with other instruments, voices, etc.
I would like to employ a bit of EQ for resonance, but everytime I touch that control I end up destroying what I was trying to "fix."
If someone has some simple recordings they'd like to share with me I'm glad to listen. That has been one of the best things in this forum - listening to what others have accomplished. When I hear something that most represents what I am trying to do, I'll probably start turning to that individual(s) for advice on how to accomplish that.
