Engineering tip of the week: To provide clarity, use the low cut filter during the recording process. Apply it on the input strip and/or mic to remove muddy frequencies from vocals and instruments like guitars, keys, horns.

ENGINEERING TIP: The compressor ranks as one of the most important tools at the engineer’s disposal. Practically every instrument utilizes compression during the final mix of a contemporary song. Care must be used in finding the proper settings to ensure that each track maintains the best dynamics in the overall soundscape. High ratio settings can make the track sound linear amidst the other instruments while low values can allow the instrument to be partially hidden in the mix. Start by giving all components in the mix similar ratio settings to provide comparable dynamics, knitting the instruments together into a tapestry of sound. Add refinements as required to improve the overall mix.

ENGINEERING TIP of the week: The importance of expensive and highly touted recording gear is over-rated. Priorities for a great recording are: an excellent composition, a gifted artist, a fine instrument, an inspired performance, a good sounding room. If these things are present at a session, the engineer simply needs to select the best mic's for the job, place them in the right position, and record at the proper levels. Creativity in production can be exercised and a professional caliber mix is required. Voila!

ENGINEERING TIP OF THE WEEK - recording drums can be a big challenge. Controversial as it may seem, outstanding results can result from using V-drums. Even purists can be fooled. The requirements are straightforward: an accomplished drummer with experience on v-drums; a well designed virtual kit matched to the song. And with practice, a stereo mix right out of the brain will more than suffice. Just think...no mics, no noise, no studio required. Record in an apartment and get world class sound. Very cost effective over the long haul with an endless assortment of possible drum kits.

ENGINEERING TIP of the week: Stereo imagery is an important part of every mix. It's great to hear the various instruments and vocals coming from different locations to create the impression of a sound stage. To achieve this, most of your tracks can simply be recorded in mono and mixed down to generate an overall stereo field using the pan knob on each channel. With your aux's, you can create stereo fx busses to add depth and enhancement to the mix. In this way, you also reap the benefit of reducing both track count and inserted fx, improving your DAW's performance.
