Recording Equipment/Tips
We often get asked what sort of equipment to buy to make someone's project sound better. Our best advice is this: Learn to use what you have properly. A lousy recording is a lousy recording, no matter what equipment is used to record it on. Likewise, a bad mix is a bad mix no matter what console was used to mix with. We've mastered great recordings done on a 4-track cassette.
A great place to learn how to make good recordings (and how to mix them) can be found here:
The Recording Institute of Detroit. The site can be a little confusing, but it's really worthwhile.
If you want an experienced engineer to mix your
song(s), Sil Barresi at Echo Digital Recording Studio can help
you out. His system is based on a full ProTools HD system.
