Produce Music - Tips to Optimize Set-up Recording
By Grace Antoinette

When it comes to gain advantages of your music production, your passion to achieve the best kind of sound you need during the recording process needs special attention.

In this article, I hope that you could enjoy the tips how to set-up recording to make your effort worthwhile.

Before you buy new music production software, check whether the product is compliant with your computer system or not. A few months ago I changed my XP2 Windows to window Vista system and it was really so frustrating, because my usually used music software suddenly would not run.

A compressor in-line with a tape, PC desktop or digital recorder could improve the sound quality. To optimize your result, a little compression of the ratio 1 to 1.5 is perfect to try out. This will give you freedom to record as loud as possible without distortion.

It is necessary to make backup copies of your recordings regularly. Making backups of your valuable whole song album or your new tune recording save lots of time.

Problems usually occur during the recording process. Therefore, it is important to clean and set-up your recording gear regularly. You should also prepare extra strings and a tuner in case you have to change strings of the instruments.

The microphone and the distance

The placement of the microphones is very important. Make sure that the distance between the source and microphones could build clear sound contour.

If you place the microphone, close to the amplifier the sound loss its power. If you move it away, the sound blends more with the surrounding. Make experiments while moving the microphone; adjust it to the room acoustics to achieve the kind of sound you imagine.

The microphone and the direction

If you point the microphone to the center of the speaker, the sound becomes louder with active high frequencies. To increase the low frequencies, you should move the microphone toward the outer rim of the speaker. Keep a 90-degree angle with the grille cloth to create a proximity effect and abilities to send out a warm, soft, or powerful sound.

You could optimize set-up recording when you try out the possibilities of various placement of the microphones to achieve the best sound result you need for your music production.
