As some of you might know, I was away to Spain and Portugal
during the last two weeks of July. It was a very different experience, unlike
other parts of UK. Will update about the trip if I have the time.
So, right when I came back from my Spain/Portugal trip, I
pretty much rushed through to edit my tracks for Animangaki 2012(AMG)
performance; as well as preparing songs to record for my first studio recording
experience.
The studio recording deal was an offer I randomly saw at FB –
RM50 for 3 Karaoke tracks recording (3 hours) + editing + mixing. It was quite
a deal as I think the normal price to record a karaoke track is RM180 with
sound engineer and editing. Studio ambience was fine (recording and working
room), except that there was no sign board, door locked always and the whole
place outside the working room was empty with not much lights, no furniture as
well. Plus there’s only one sound engineer there, so it would be better for
females to have someone to accompany if you would like to try out this studio
^^.
I have to say the tracks I recorded are only of average quality as I have only 2-3 takes (some small parts maybe more) per song, and there’s a time constraint of 1 hour per song. Perhaps I’m just not used to it as I usually have more than 50 takes per track when I do home studio recording. Editing wise I’ve learnt some stuff thanks to the helpful sound engineer and I believe after more practice I should be able to edit my own tracks better in the future.
To sum it up this recording deal should be suitable for songs
that require minimal editing (clear vocals not much effects) and vocalist who
can sing perfectly within very few takes (or for those who just wanna have fun recording some songs ^^). If I’m not wrong there should be more
recording deals during festive seasons (Christmas, Valentine’s day, Chinese New
Year..etc) and I won’t mind trying out for festive songs to have some fun
again~
