Scritti Politti vocals
Thought about putting this in the thread that was just posted about airy/breathy vocals, but I'm going for something a little different. I'm working on an 80's-influenced song and want to add heavily-layered, faux-female BGV tracks of my own voice. Think Scritti Politti (examples below), Michael Jac...

Where to draw the line
So a while back, a friend (let's call him Ben) asked me if I wouldn't mind recording a friend of his for free (let's call her Sarah). He said that he wanted to surprise Sarah with a professional demo and that it would be her first opportunity to record for real. I felt like declining and explaining ...

I'd check out Treelady Studios in Turtle Creek, PA. It's one of the larger studios in the area and I've sent a few records to be mastered there by Garrett Haines. Also, I would recommend looking at some of the smaller studios that may be looking for help. The best way to find them is talking to loca...

i am sorry that you cannot enjoy a record such as 'back in black'. It's not that I can't enjoy it. In fact, I like Back In Black for it's great songs and instrumentation. so, i have to ask, what DOES impress you? do you only like music programmed on a computer by one svengali-like dude sitting by h...

Thanks for the responses! Good points all around. I definitely agree with the concept of using "anything and everything" to achieve a cool recording. I probably should've made it more clear that I don't always try to make a recording sound machine-like and quantized. Obviously, the song dictates the...

Just trying to understand...
Hi all. I'm certainly not the most experienced person out there, so forgive me if I sound naive, but I have a pretty decent home studio and have had the opportunity to work with Larry, among some other recognized pros in the field. I'm sort of aspiring to do engineering/production professionally, bu...

Not really the absolute worst-engineered albums of all time, but just a few that come to mind. XTC - Drums and Wires: Just sounds weak, raw, and tinny overall. Volume is often inconsistent, even on the same track. Needs more compression. Anyone know if they've remastered this yet? MGMT - Oracular Sp...
