Tuning vocals? It takes the human side of the equation and throws it out the window, in my humble opinion! We already make music that seems to have zero soul, and little else to my ears. When I listen to music from the late 60's through the 70's and still somewhat through the 90's it was the human factor that gave it all life. It all started changing when midi made it possible to play the notes for us! I do love that Midi made it easy for me to sync to as tape as 4 or 8 tape tracks was not enough to really fulfill my visions of a more complex recording. I was always mindful of the human factor (pure emotion & feel) was the new challenge for me, and it isn't easy! I always do my best work when I am onstage and moving real folks, with no crutch to hold me up. It's the live audience becoming quiet and actually listening that lets me be my best self! I have no ill intent here, it's just my take on the state of modern music today..... PS: when I use midi (and I still do) I always work hard to actually play the parts myself, drums I may use simple (preset) midi parts as a starting point, and edit for my ears note by note! I could never hope or do I even try to replace the real folks who actually bring their very soul to the music! I know I can never replace a real musician with a machine of any kind in the end. I can only flush out what I hear in my head, good, bad or indifferent! Thanks for what you guys are doing, I need to keep myself on my toes, music performing & recording is a life-long passion for a lot of us lowly musicians ....!

Now you really made me upset. :) ;) I know you aim your content to a different audience as I will never produce a record and since I'm 62 years old it's totally impossible for me to tell the differece between the sound from a professional recording studio and the cheap pre-amps in low-end digital multitrackers. But c'mon! Two times you mention latency, i e the HUGE PROBLEM (terribly sorry for yelling) with computer based recording, and the problem that just does not exist in the world of multitrackers, not even the cheapest ones. I spent countless of hours reading forums, tweaking, downloading drivers, trying different DAWs, tweaking some more... nothing helped. The only thing I didn't try was converting to Mac. Then I purchased a used Zoom R8 for about US$100 and this whole latency issue was just a very unpleasant memory from the past. Now, I'm not religiously against computers. I went from struggling with DAWs to look at DAW-less, but landed in Less DAW. As I'm a lousy keyboardist, I generally start out entering the notes in a notation software. (Never befriended piano rolls.) Then export it into the recorder and add voice and acoustic instruments. Then I import the Master track into the PC and convert to mp3 in Audacity. I may experiment with VCV Rack since there is no way I can afford Eurorack hardware if there is some synth sounds my two Volcas can't perform.
@nilespeshay1734 27 күн бұрын
I am only speaking anecdotally, ofc, but I've been recording for a few decades. Started out on some standalones and moved to PC about 20-25 yrs ago. Other than the 1st month that I ever used a PC (and figured out how to adjust buffer size), I've literally never had latency issues. I have never spent more than $150 on a PC (refurbished office surplus) so it's not like I'm using bleeding edge computers...
@avace917 Ай бұрын
The main reason I wouldn't consider recording without a computer is that I compose in an Akai MPC and I've noticed that no current standalone hard disk recorder has MIDI ports. Hence no sync
@toreeriksson6117 29 күн бұрын
Yeah, it really is a shame that all the manufacturers ditched that MIDI [sync] Out port on their lines of digital recorders. It used to be the default standard about 20 years ago to include that. However, I stumbled upon nice workaround here on KZbin to sort of recreate it using the metronome function in my Zoom R8, selecting a sampled Volca sync pulse as its click sound, feeding it into a Volca Keys modified with added MIDI Out connector, and there I have the MIDI sync recorded originated from a track on my R8. Of course, you should be able to use any device with +5v sync in and MIDI sync out to create a MIDI Clock Sync and not have to hack an older Volca.

I don't get the rationale for panning the drums from the drummer's perspective AT ALL. First of all, most people don't air drum. That's like maybe five percent of listeners. But you know what 100% of listeners have done? Seen a concert. And we don't watch a concert from behind the drum set. Also, you can't claim it's more natural and then still have the vocals be the loudest thing in the mix. That doesn't make sense if you're creating the illusion that you're behind the drum set. You know where the vocals will sound the loudest though? Out in the crowd.

I see really talented people all the time trying to make their own records 100% DIY and that’s 100% ego. It doesn’t really save them money in the long run either because they spend so much time going back and forth “is this good enough?”, “am I good enough?”, etc taking years to accomplish a mediocre version of what they could’ve done and learned in months had they just checked their ego and hired a pro even if for just one song. Do that a couple times and invest in learning the craft and you’ll be years ahead of just doing it all on your own.

In that case, do whatever makes you happy! But for most people this is not the case if they are being honest. So many never even release it because they think it’s not good enough. Or they release it but never promote it properly because they are not 100% stoked about it. “Great” or “great sounding” is highly subjective, but I think we can all agree that you as the artist should love it.

Producer Roy Halee helped them create the tape loop, a few elements were recorded at Columbia studios and the drums were played by professional drummer and Wrecking Crew member Hal Blaine.

It wouldn't surpise that CBS's producer used the wrecking crew to finish it off (Overkill?) , Still , the core of that track is that beat with the addition of acoustic guitar and vocals . If Simon was so inclined , he could of made a great demo using nothing but his 4-track? portable tape recorder . There's a lot of good folk recordings of artists just doing one take into a stereo reel-to-reel which was then just mixed down . Jeff Lyne used a consumer 4 track Beocord Duluxe . Analog systems/studio time forced artists to come to the studio prepared to wrap in very few takes . DAW's and certain plugins have taken the weight off of artists onto producers - or rather , the art now is as much in the production as opposed to the performance . Still , if you can sound great in an intimate controlled live setting , it's not too hard to get a high quality recording . If you're aiming for a Daniel Lanois-esq dynamic finished product , that's just not 'DIY' - If a pro plumber fixes his bathroom , he may have done it himself but that's not the general understanding of what it means to be a DIY effort .

I began recording as an artist in 1994. It was hard. Expensive. Time consuming. Many in the music industry are utterly unreliable. So I’ve spent the last 30 years leaning to do it myself. First as an amateur, then as a professional. And I STILL write, record, produce, engineer and master all of my own work as a solo artist and in my band. Maybe someone else could do it better. But I simply don’t trust anyone else to care enough. And more importantly, after all these years; I still LOVE the whole process!

100% agreed! This is pretty much my story, as well. I learned to do it all myself and LOVED every minute of it. But it was also brutal and took a looong time.

You can either put in your 10000 hours, or get help from professionals / mentors. Ideally both, like I did. :)

@@theselfrecordingband No offense but a record is going to take as along as it takes. There are highly produced records that take years to come together but fall short of being a highlight of an artist’s catalogue. Some records have you fighting tooth and nail to get the songs out or have already come together from years of playing them on the road or at home, early Daniel Johnston records come to mind and so does Roman Candle from Elliott Smith. All to say there are great DIY releases that people enjoy from all different genres. I don’t know guys, I just see making music as an art and something cathartic, if it takes 20 years to write a song on your own then that’s time well spent if the process is fulfilling. If you’re speaking to someone trying to “make it” I guess it helps but that’s definitely not everyone. I really do understand the sentiment and perspective here but I don’t see it as the end all be all. I’m sure Fiona was happy in retrospect with her approach and time spent, she’s notorious for having huge gaps of time between albums, collecting experiences and ideas along the way. Despite it all it really is a hugely successful DIY album at it’s core, with enough time and experience the simplest tools can craft something great.

Most won’t be willing to spend five years on a record, or go to pro studios for a few weeks (which is really expensive) to record there and learn, etc. They would have given up.

About making it feel exactly the way it is supposed to feel. And often the performance needs a little help to accomplish that. Sometimes it doesn’t. It has been done on tape and people still do it now. It’s part of making a great record and if it’s done right, you won’t even notice. How much you need to do totally depends on the genre, the vision for the record, the players, the performances and personal preference. No rules at all, here. That’s part of being a professional engineer/producer. Being open minded and knowing exactly what the song needs.

Great topic. You're absolutely correct in that 99% of people don't know how to do it all (setup + room treament, recording, mixing, and mastering) correctly. And when you try to explain why they've produced audio fecal matter, they don't get it. It's really hard to communicate to a person that the reason their DIY recording is really bad is because they did the entire thing wrong and they now have to redo it. A lot of what separates a great recording from a bad recording is the attention to detail. Convincing people they got the details wrong is more difficult than actually getting them right. I do wonder if the current podcast gold rush is unintentionally creating better DIY recordings -- specifically, better vocal recordings. For example, if a fat woman in Brazil starts a podcast about her weight loss journey, but then she notices her podcast doesn't sound as good as another fat womans podcast that also talks about weight, the first woman will probably start googling and youtubing information to make her podcast sound better. It's like if you have the same AC as your best friend but when you're at their house, you notice their AC is much colder than yours. You'll want to find out why; maybe it's the room size, maybe it's the placement of the AC, maybe it's the compressor in yours, maybe there's a setting difference etc. Anyway, great episode!

Yep, that's how we do it here. It's a podcast, not specifically made for KZbin where everything is fast paced. Also, we've asked our audience multiple times and they love the banter, so that's why we keep doing it. :) Also, did you see that we even put a time stamp in the description that let's you skip right to the topic. :) But anyway, thanks for your kind comment!

Some good points. I’m in my 40s and have made a lot of music on both computers and standalones. There’s always going to be a divide on this subject as the older folks will gravitate more to the tactile feel of buttons and sliders. Can’t beat the computers power and flexibility. Can’t beat the feel of old solid well built gear. Also, I’m on the computer all day at work. When I get time to sit and make music I don’t want to do it on the same machine I hated a few hours ago while I was staring at spreadsheets.
