Recording your songs
When we receive a project from a client we have a strict production procedure. Our writers include a cassette with a rough version of their song and a lyric sheet, denoting verses, choruses and general structure.
The producer will spend a day familiarizing himself with the submitted material, then over the next week he will begin to visualize how the finished recording will sound. This allows him to plan in advance what artists he will require when he eventually enters the studio for recording.
After rehearsals the actual laying down of tracks will take between 4 - 6 hours. This recording will be the backbone of your song and will be mixed ready for vocals to be added at a later date. The vocals are added later to allow the producer time to fully develop his creative perspective.
Once vocals & harmonies have been added the song is ready to go into the mix down phase. It is during this time that edits may be made and subtle rearrangements finalized.
The song is then mastered to DAT tape. It is from this DAT that the CD will be pressed. Once pressed it is packaged and a copy is sent to you, the songwriter.
