In this Tuesday Tip, Jody walks you thru an example of a song with 18 tracks of background vocals. How he’s grouped them. How he’s panned them. How he bussed them. What processing he’s used to make them sit in the mix. All in a name of getting the background vocals to provide a big plate of support for the lead vocals.

Chris and Jody dive into the world of big, giant, background vocal production. What types of background vocals there are, the kinds of genres they work in. Along with some examples of producers and bands that used them. What is more important: timing, rhythm or pitch? How to deal with tons of background vocals, what kinds of effects, etc… It’s all in here. Plus find out what Chris and Jody found this week to improve your recording/mixing chops. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.

In this video, Chris shows why it’s important to make sure you pay attention to your sample rate in your projects, and what happens if you don’t. Whether you’re importing loops, getting files from for a client, or laying down tracks for a producer, make sure you communicate and know which sample rate to use.

Chris and Jody do a mini dive into the world of sample rates and what they mean. What exactly is a sample rate? Why we choose certain sample rates. Should you upsample after recording at a lower sample rate? A short history of how digital gear got better with sample rates over time. How did “they” arrive at their sample rates initially. Drawbacks of higher sample rates are discussed. Plus the ONE thing you shouldn’t do when recording in relation to sample rates. It’s all in here. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
Stick around and find out what Friday Finds Chris and Jody discovered this week that will be beneficial to your recording prowess.

Today’s Tuesday Tip showcases DI Guitar recording with plugging directly into your audio interface. Followed with how to build a guitar amp setup in your DAW using more than a singular all-in-one plugin. Two examples given, one for a clean guitar tone and another for a more complex distorted guitar tone.

Chris and Jody tackle the concept of recording Guitar using Direct Input techniques. Generally reserved for electric guitar, but can also be used for acoustic guitar if it’s equipped with pickups. They talk about the different methods of DI that you can use. Plus the how’s and why’s of doing DI type recording. It’s also not unlikely that some nonsense will be discussed.

In this Tip Jody walks you through extreme examples of phase cancellation. Using a Kick drum sample as the instrument to pay attention too. Exploring what it sounds like when a sound can completely erase itself, and when it could fully enhance itself and other sonic values in-between.

Chris and Jody take on the concept of Phase Cancellation. What exactly is it? What does it do to the sound of an instrument when you’re micing it? How does it get in the way of a mix? Does it get in the way of a mix? You don’t want to miss this one. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.

This week Chris & Jody tackle the definition of what a Producer actual does and what a Mix engineer actually does. Going thru the “old school” means they were defined by. Of course we have the all important Friday Finds and there’s some real good ones this week. A big thank you for the listener who sent us a request to define these rolls in the world of music recording. It is not unlikely that some nonsense will also be discussed.
Shoutout to: James Clear
