Busy week at Studio Beat Route…. Lots of great college band's in the house!!! ….

Studio Tip of the Week~
Don't immediately reach for the EQ k**b, and don't overdo it with the reverb!
These are two of the biggest newbie mistakes. Rather than fiddling with EQ (equalization) if you don't like the way something sounds, try changing the source first. If you are miking a guitar for example, try moving the mic around to alternate positions relative to the acoustic guitar (or amp, if it is an electric guitar). Small adjustments can make huge differences in the sound.

Merry Christmas from everyone here at Studio Beat Route!!!

Studio Tip of the Week~ Vocal recording: Minimise the room's influence on your sound. The mic picks up both direct sound from the singer and reflected sound from the room. Reduce the room's contribution by keeping away from the walls and by improvising screens using sleeping bags or duvets behind and to the sides of the singer.

Studio Tip of the week ~ Vocal Recording: Don't settle for anything less than the best vocal performance you can get, and don't expect to get it all perfect in one take. More often than not you'll have to punch in and out around phrases that need re-doing, but if you have enough tracks, get the singer to do the whole song several times and then compile a track from the best parts of each take.

Big Treat for us this week! The Amazingly talented artists Mr. Orosz Zoltan can to Jam with the Chronicles...

Studio Tip of the Week~
Always use a pop shield between the singer and the microphone. Failure to do so will almost certainly result in unnatural 'pops' on plosive 'b' and 'p' sounds that can't be fixed afterwards. The pop shield may be a commercial model or a DIY job comprising stocking material over a wire coat hanger frame. Foam wind shields are virtually useless in combating pops.

Due to unforeseen circumstances the 15th November Wash for India show at Zorba has been postponed! Sorry Folks we too are very disappointed... stay tuned for more updates

Studio Tip of the Week # 2

Take time to get the vocalist's headphone mix right, and give them a little reverb to help them sing more confidently. If you can rig up a system which allows vocalists to adjust their own monitor level, it will make life a lot easier. A good headphone mix really helps to encourage a good performance.

Studio Tip of the week!
When recording vocals ~ Make sure the singer is well rehearsed, physically comfortable, and under no psychological pressure. Most singers perform best standing up in a room that has a comfortable but not over-warm temperature. If they are distracted by other members of the band or by hangers-on, send everyone but the engineer (and producer, if you have one) out of the studio.

Exciting 5 days for us... Vinay & Charul in the studio working on their debut album... produced by Susmit Sen
