The Music Production Haiku

Björgvin Benediktsson 0 Comments

Think before you go,
recording a bunch of tracks.
Pre-produce it first.

The source must be good.
Fixing a bad sound later.
You will lose the battle .

Add to arrangement,
layers of sounds, drums, and voice.
Create interest.

Use 24 bit.
You have plenty of headroom.
More than yesteryear.

Edit and do fades.
Clean sounding tracks sound better,
than noisy background.

Enhance your music with,
Levels, comp, EQ and pan,
To the next level.

One more thing to add.
Make it loud but dynamic.
Limit and dither.
