How to Make a Record, Part 2: Where and When to Record

OK, you’ve don’t your pre-production homework. You know the repertoire you’ll record, you know who is going to engineer and who is going to produce, and you have a good idea of the sound concept for your album. You’ve listened to a lot of examples of great recordings and settled on a few that you like, and you’ve shared those with your engineer and producer. Everyone is on the same page. Now, let’s talk about the venue and timing of your recording.

In this multi part series, I will aim to explore the ins and outs of recording a full length album. This series is geared towards those musicians seeking an overview of the process, and serves to define the process as a whole, who should be involved, and what their roles should be. My hope is that if you are thinking of recording your own album, that you enjoy the process and hire people that will help you showcase your art at its highest level.
