Tips voor Recording Engineers

[Steven Otto]

Ik begin me steeds en steeds meer te verdiepen in production, recording en alles wat daarbij hoort. Ik kwam dit artikel tegen en leek me wel interessant om te delen met jullie

Punt 8 geeft veel erkenning

8. The Full Circle


You will know this one when it happens to you.

This is my perception of the stages a person goes through when venturing into an audio engineering career.

-You start as either a musician or music lover who has a great appreciation of music, and a desire to understand it further.

-As you learn the core engineering principles you start to become aware of a sonic world you've never known about, right in front of your eyes all along (or ears, as it may be).
-You start to get intently fixated on little sonic details, like the interaction of mix elements, and perhaps how certain tracks 'sit' in relation to each other.
-You develop a strong knowledge of frequency content and its relationship between different instruments.
-As you start to gain a greater understanding of these sonics, you find that your musical enjoyment, or writing ability has started to deteriorate.
-Your priority now lies in finding the best sounds, and as a result your ability to either enjoy music or create it is notably impacted.
-You consolidate your engineering knowledge enough to relax, take a breather, and be able to revisit the music again.
-You find you have an inherent interest in how arrangements are done, and how those can be altered to enhance the quality of a mix.
-You start to understand that music, production and engineering are all inextricably linked and now search to find a perfect synergy of the 3, rather than fixating on microcosmic details.

-You are now a musician, music lover, producer & engineer who has a great appreciation of music, and a desire to understand it further.

Ik zit denk ik bij streepje 5; ...as you start to gain....
