The Recording Process


The Recording process does happen to have about five parts to it as my research shows. They are: The Musical Idea, the Actual Recording, then Editing, mixing, and Mastering. It s definitely a long process, and takes a while to finish up with it all

1: The Musical Idea is the actual music with the instruments. It is the very first part of trying to record something. If you do not have something that is ready to record then you are wasting your time. As the producer will decide which parts will be recorded and who will play them.

2: Recording: all the music is then played and recorded onto different audio and MIDI systems whether they are hardware or software.

3: Editing: all the sequence of all the music would be edited in a ton of ways. Could be to change the performance or the entire arrangement.

4: Mixing: when all the music is recorded it is sent to a place where the individual tracks are combined to make a multi track recording to finalize the stereo recording

5: Mastering is the last stage of the process. The finished stereo mix is prepared for the cd or a mp3 file overall. Adjusting the sound so that overall recoding is perfect.
