Tracking, Overdubs & Mixing Overdubs After the initial tracking is complete, other musical "parts" ay be needed. Usually these will include vocals, both main and backing parts, instrumental solos, or other more time consuming performances. Typically, these recordings are the finishing touches of the complete a musical performance. Mixing - In the studio or live The recording is now complete, all of the elements must be blended or "mixed" into a final stereo or other multi-channel form. At this point, most of the special effects are applied and relative volumes and equalization are set. .png)

Tracking Every recording project has to begin somewhere. The time to set up the whole band or in parts, a large MIDI rig, or just a single musician with a single instrument has a lot to do with what elements inspire the best feel for a recorded performance. Tempo settings, groove idea and discussions about the overall feel of the song, primarily focus attention on the drums, bass and guitar parts. The instrumentation is sometimes called "basic tracks" or "rhythm tracks" and are the foundation on which the entire recording will be based upon. Often my drum tracking will happen after we set a click and rough vocal/guitar tracks. I'll be sure to sit down with you to plan our recording process ideas so we aren't wasting time and maximize the output of my drumming to suite your performances.
