Studio Erdo: Part 8 - A brief update on the album progress so far [HD 720p]

www.erdo.se - visit for more news, music blog and gallery.

This is part 8 of a series of videos that I'm releasing as my album draws closer to the finish line. In this part I talk about the progress so far and about what has happened recently. When tracking is done, we will move onto editing and then mixing. I will share my methods in editing and mixing later on and that is also when I will give tips about how to achieve a good guitar tone and so on. You should subscribe if you are interested in music, recording, mixing, tracking or anything that has to do with this because I will start from the beginning of a recording and take you all the way through to a finished album. The whole process is going to be documented.

Quick info about me: I'm just a guy who is trying to achieve a personal goal which is to single-handedly write and produce a full-length album. All instruments are played by me.

I will try to answer any questions in the comments so just ask away if you wonder about something I forgot to mention in the videos.

Thanks to Andy Sneap for hosting a great forum over at the ultimatemetal.com forums.

@TheSuperWah Japp det gör den. Det mesta görs av tjockleken och placeringen. Nästan vilket poröst material som helst kan ta upp en hel del diskant bara man hänger upp lite på väggen, men ju tjockare man har, desto lägre frekvenser tar den. Lägg sedan till att det är placerat i hörn - där bas brukar samlas som mest - så får du en ganska effektiv bass trap.

Bra gjort Erkan och jäklar va fint det blev i källaren! :) Ser fram emot nästa inslag! Förresten, har du sett mina filmer än? Take care!

[StudioErdo]

@Broddi6 Tack! Jag hade sett Cellskräck 2 part 1 förr men såg inte att det fanns flera delar förrän nu när du sade till. Tittade igenom hela Cellskräck och allt annat som du hade lagt upp. Det var skitkul att titta på allt, verkligen! Haha, älskar Cellskräck, det blev väldigt intressant från del 2 och framåt :) Hoppas du har något nytt på gång?

[TheSuperWah]

funkar frigoliten som basstrap också jag trodde den bara tog upp höga frekvenser

[Ambidjent]

Peppa peppa! Hoppas det funkar bra med sången/sångaren. Ska bli mycket kul att höra det här i sin helhet när det är klart. Lycka till!

Sweet. Thanks for the details!

If you have some free time, I wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts about Reaper.
