STUDIO CHRONICLES:
How is good music being created? That's the question, the documentary web series Studio Chronicles follows. In its 5 episodes for the moment, it paints a picture of Jamaican music production history and culture. To achieve this, the producers visited several studios in Kingston and talked to artists and producers about what makes a good production and which influence the chosen studio has on the final product.
The series offers insight into the daily work of producers, the historical development of recording technology, as well as different approaches to recording music in times of digitalisation. The producers want to draw attention to interesting hotspots in music history. Jamaica, with its rich musical heritage was the perfect choice for the pilot season considering the musical background of the producers. The two brothers Syrix and Professa (Iriepathie) met producers like Gussie Clarke, King Jammy, Don Corleone or Dean Fraser, who gave an insight into the specific qualities of the individual studios and tell stories from decades of experience as producers.
The first season has been shot in Kingston in December 2013 over a period of four weeks. The series will be accompanied by a producers album, which will be released on Irievibrations Records, and displays the soundtrack to the show. It contains the title track „The Journey“ by Konshens.

Please who is the author and the what is the name of the first track? Wicked track dat! Thanks in advance!

[@eznohstar]

Where can I get the track playing in the background for most of the clip?

[@edsmith1757]

steve states throughout this interview that important a step as digital was, it was actually a backward step for music production because musicians make human errors which are actually vital in music development and singers perform better with a band because the band can flexible around the extent of the talent of the artist.

[@warika1208]

It was an important step for music production, how (some) people use the technology is a different argument, but this advancement allowed talented musicians, engineers and producers to be more efficient and give other avenues to explore their art. It also democratized music productions at every level...many musicians around the world could record because the cost of production went down because of this technology. You may not think this is so important or good but that's beside the point, the Helios and 16-track machine that were originally in the studio cost more than the building and the land it sat on, so only big name artist could record there at that time.

[@bradbadnessvevo1650]

How much to voice a song

[@kebranegast6268]

[@rizzleriz4457]

Stop living in the past Stephen...these older folks keeping holding on to their 'best days' yet their 'best days' are an improvement of the days of the people before them. He spoke of the techno that Harry went with (16 track) that had the hip artistes wanting to come there but his hitting out on the nowadays DAW producers. Unnu studio gonna be empty! It's like buying the hottest car in your day but saying the hottest car in my day is crap! Teach the youths your way and help them to build on it with their technology. The kids are HERE!

[@warika1208]

He's not hitting out at new technology, he's explaining how other people use technology and the production values he holds dear. There is nothing wrong with liking what you like and talking about it, and you should take note that he's one of the few Jamaican engineers and producers who is constantly in demand internationally and working on Grammy nominated projects in many different genres. I think that says a lot about his talent as an engineer and producer.

[@tatu8663]

I don't think it's about technology per se but about mastering one's craft and not relying simply on shortcuts. For instance TPain is an accomplished singer who has mastered the use of autotune which is fine. But there is also a slew of people who use autotune to cover up the fact that they can't sing in their natural voice.

[@markgorney4268]

Too bad the Helios is gone.

[@rizzleriz4457]

It's ok, I'll fix it in the edit. My studio time: 30 mins. Your studio time: 22hours. My wife: Happy. Your wife: Sad, constantly looking out the window. These same 'band' musicians are the ones providing/selling the DAW developers live samples to take them over. LOL

[@QECHUABOi]

WoRD!
