What is the process for creating record?

There are 4 technical steps to bringing a song to life.

• Recording - (Booking a recording studio, setting up microphones and capturing the different parts of the song)
• Editing - (Choosing the best recorded takes and making any adjustments to timing, pitch and cohesion)
• Mixing - (Mixing is the process of combining all the recorded tracks into a stereo 2-track mix)
• Mastering - (After the track is mixed the final stereo file is processed to industry standard loudness, and any final tweaks to the sound are made)
   

What is the role of a producer?

The role of a producer is to oversee the project from start to finish, offering advice and guidance to bring the artists vision to life. A producer can be involved in the writing and arrangement of songs while also being responsible for the logistics of a recording session and depending on the project, liaise with mixing and mastering engineers to complete the project.
 

How much will my project cost?

The cost of a project comes down to how much time is needed to get the job done - a solo singer songwriter is going to take less time than a 6 piece band etc. Another major factor is also how well you can play the song. A great performance in the studio means less  time spent editing, and less time to mix and master. 
 

How many songs can I record is one day? 

This is entirely up to how well you/the band can play the songs on the day. Some bands take an entire day to record one song. An acoustic duo might get 5+ tracks recorded in a single day. Expect to play each song 2-5 times for each part.
