Good morning!
I just stumbled across this forum and look forward to diving into it tonight and learning whatever tips I can pick up from you guys.
I have recently recorded one of my first real projects and wanted to get some feedback/advice when it comes to home recording, specifically, click tracks and recording.
I typically record with my acoustic guitars and an AKG Perception condenser mic, which yields a good result.
However, my most recent mix engineer did express that he wished that I had recorded with a click track so that he could automate some things in the background.
Unfortunately, I've not found a good way to really practice rhythm guitar to a click track....I can practice scales and single notes, but practicing the type of strumming I'm recording seems so mechanical and unnatural.
I liked to -think- I was decent at keeping time during the recording of this track, and that it only varies ever so slightly, but I really can't be the judge with my own ears.
We inevitably went with the tracks I already laid down, because I play it the same way live every time....although, I am wanting to step up to the next level of playing there, so I really want to learn this technique to make the music as good as it can be.
What do you guys think, and also, how can I practice my next song to a click so I can record it a little more professionally?
I cannot link the song at the moment, so just do a quick YouTube search for The Aeolian Effect and check out the track "Believe", if you want to judge.
I record in a bedroom, for the most part.
I appreciate it!
