The Real Bone Fact,Inescapable...Of Recording Science

Less is more,always and in everyway more.It is so much mathmatics,a recording is an equasion of a fixed sound versus silence.Every time you add another frequency you add more variables to the equasion.It is the objective also with each frequency you add the it occupys it's own space in terms of equaliztion.At this point in time it is impossible to predict phase cancellation.Each time you do a play back it changes.Until you master it.so in summary,the less you do the more you have to work with.The more you can do with what is fixed.The more you have to focus upon.This is what I handily sold my current producer.As an artist the hardest thing do do is something simple.That you have got to really bear down upon.Because then you are really listening to the silence.This can be quite fearful as silince with a minimum of effort matches each and every one of your most skillful moves.This is realized when your excellent guitarist (onstage) just keeps flubbing a track and a session guy is brought in,he does six takes and it is all over,maybe an hour with some change and his minimum fee is four hours at two yardnotes per.This is what is called "having a cold wind blown up your ass."He barely played anything and it sounds so good!Gary Lefkowith is this type of a session player.He appears for us on (oo) (ooh) a lot of great on that record between Andre Mack,Gary,and myself.All a giant production weave of strong composite tracks.Three mindblowing lead guitarists working together,never stepping on eachother.Recording in downtown Manhatten Island.The complete center of it all.Mastered at Sterling Sound,lying up a huge success for later.You have got as a procucer the go to guy,Mike Rodgers.Every major record producer goes to see him before they master,he is the world authority on shortcuts.His normal fee happily paid is twenty five grand an hour plus a percentage of all sales.And he dug us for what we were.
