After seeing a few local album flops and fails over the last few years I figured I’d throw out ten tips to help make your album drop harder than a br00tal breakdown after your silky sexy chorus.
1. Have some good material going into production. Yes, going into production. Tip #1, hire a...
Loudness is something that I as well as many other amateur engineers/producers battle with. You export your final master at 0db and it still doesn’t compare to commercial mixes, yet these mixes don’t peak over 0db. So what are you doing wrong?
To start off lets establish that mixes over 0db...

1. Genre Prejudice: Everyone is guilty of this, including me. We all have that one genre that we cant stand. Try and avoid jumping on the “I hate Dubstep” train and learn to live and let live.
2. Elitism: Of course you’re the shit, but there’s no need to rub your shit in someone else’s face....
Final School Week So finally, we're almost done with our first year in this course and for sure time passes by really fast. We had quite a number of assignment submissions and exams this week.
But to end the week, me and 3 other of my classmates helped Eugene with the studio set up for next week's music student's recital. Found out that the Fender box that have been lying around in the studio is actually a speaker.
To be specific, it is a Fender Audio Passport. It is small and transportable. We'll be using this speaker as a FOH for the vocals and can also be use as a monitors, maybe for the drummer to listen to the vocalist.
Looking forward to it being use.
Bump Out For The Wedding Singer
We get to choose the event for out bump out attachment. So, I did the one on the earlier date which is The Wedding Singer. When we came for the bump out, there isn't much left that needs to be done as most of the job is done in the morning. However, we did make ourselves useful by cleaning up the body wireless microphones. There are in total 30 of it. We also moved out a few props like wooden staircases and moved some metal rails back to the store room. We also helped the crew in altering the curtains from the fly and applied the knowledge of tying knots from Toby's TPM class.
Above is a picture of the stage and me, doing what I do best.
The Very Enjoyable MOI Show
It was a great experience being able to set up and also engineer a show. Especially when it comes to music. Our very first time setting up on a proper venue, instead of G302. It was fun and we get to apply everything that has been taught. The patching, labelling, signal flow, mic placement, mic stand placement, the console and much more.
We did soundcheck as well and ensure that all the musicians are satisfied with what they hear through the monitors and ensure that they are as little to no feedback during the show.
We had a great experience for this event!
Sound Alike "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks is the song that we had to do for our sound alike project.
Before we do the project as an actual group, we had a trial run of it with our class grouping. We listened to the original mix and made calculated assumptions of the probable gears, amps, instruments and recording techniques they use. James also provide us with the Sound On Sound article on recording techniques of the actual mix. We then recorded the song as a class, understanding how we are able to achieve a similar sound by the mic placement and recording techniques used. The mics used and also the way the instrument tracks were bussed. And on the actual sound alike recording day, we called in some musicians to help us with the recording. Below is the time plan for the whole process of the recording session. Timeplan:
1700 - 1750 - Set Up
1750 - 1840 - Sound Check and buss levelling
1840 - 1905 - Break
1905 - 2005 - Recording
2005 - 2030 - Audition
2030 - 2100 - Pack Up
We managed to follow according to the time plan we made for ourselves and be in time with the flow of our work. We are all glad that the patching and bussing all works well that we can focus more on the recording.
Recording of Music Student
Photos above are the set up we had to record the group of music students. We had to deal with this set up as something unfortunate happened to the studio's computer room. This set up is more of a home recording set up, just like how musicians do their own recording at home these days.Reference had to be done with headphones for the us engineers during recording to avoid leakage and feedback in the recording. Nevertheless, we managed to record it well.
Line A-ray workshop by L Acoustics
An amazingly designed speakers with so much calculations put into it to offer the best quality and equal amount of sound in a large area.
Voiceover Recordings of BA Acting
There were some changes in the lesson plan for our studio lesson. Instead of doing a class recording, we recorded voice-overs of the BA in Acting students. For this assignment, its more of learning on how to communicate well with the artist. It is vital to put our communication skills into good use. The etiquettes of communicating with the voice-over artists to ensure that they feel comfortable and confident about the recording. By doing so, not only we are helping the artist, but we can also save time and and get a good faster.
After recording them, we had to go to edit the takes and mix it well to ensure the mix have good levels in volume and dynamics. James taught us about using de-esser in this mix too. A de-esser compresses the excessive sibilance that tends to be too much after the whole mix is compressed. This will ensure that it will not sound irritating or even hurt the listener's ears.
Sem 2, Week 2: Wireless Mic In this week's live sound class, we looked at wireless microphones. Its the Shure ULX (SM58) wireless mic in particular.
We were brief about how it works and how to work it well. Such as how we point the wireless mic receiver antenna, setting up the channel/frequency of the mic (in order to not interfere with any other wireless mic that is active in the building or around the area as well). A particular thing about these wireless mics is that they run on battery, so it is vital to check the lifespan of it during live shows.
We also did an experiment on how far the mic can go away from the receiver in order for it to still be able to get the signal from it and produce the sound from its source to the speaker.
Sem 2, Week 2: Stereo Recording Techniques (Piano)
Pictures above are some of the few many ways of the stereo miking technique and for this week's class, its how to stereo mike a piano recording. Piano being the most difficult acoustic instrument to mike up, the smallest of difference in positioning the mic makes a major difference in the sound recorded.
But the main focus this week is to ensure there are no phase cancellation for the recording. It is a major factor to ensure that there are no phase cancellation as this will vastly decrease the quality of the recording. It will sound weak and soft as the signal waves recorded will cancel each other out in the mix and therefore, decrease the decibels and lose certain frequencies. The X&Y technique will help ease the setting up process in ensuring there are no phase cancellation involved. All that remains is to move the position of the mic around the piano to pick up the best sound possible.
Pop Workshop For BA Music Students Engineered the sound for the music student's pop workshop/performance. It was a good experience in dealing with bands to meet their requirements for their performance.
Setting up for Lasalle's Open House 2014
For this semester, we collaborated more with the music students. For this recording, we applied the rules of stereo miking a piano and then asked the artist, Mr Chen Le right here about the sound that he prefers.
Sem 2 Week 1 Start off the new semester with a new console and a review of what we did in semester 1. Introduced to a new console, the Soundcraft MH2. A bigger console, but it works the same way like the rest of the mixers. But of course, with more channels, more auxs and more features. It looks complicated but all we have to remember and understand is the signal flow. By understanding the signal flow of the console, everything else is easy as going with the flow of a river.
It works the same way to any analogue consoles.
