Studio Erdo: Part 7 - Tracking some vocals, fooling around and having fun [HD 720p]

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

NOTE: Thanks to Gustaf for being a part of this project but unfortunately he had to drop out due to lack of time. Gustaf's contribution was really good but unfortunately it cannot be used since it never was finished.

This is part 7 of a series of videos that I'm releasing as my album draws closer to the finish line. In this part I track Gustaf Lindstein-Modin's vocals. There will probably be another part about vocals, containing more clips from the tracking and also a short bit of talk about the mic and acoustics and so on. 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.

hey where can i get the song at the end or any songs you have. why is it so you don't had a band name or myspace???

and keep it up dude, vocals and song sound fucking sickkk

[StudioErdo]

@sml2238 Thanks! That's because the album is not done yet. The vocals are still not finished and nothing is mixed yet. Once I get vocals done it will be a piece of cake to get everything done and out to the world. There is no name yet so if I opened up a MySpace I don't know what I would call it.. so I have to figure out a name first.

[tokyorose999]

where is your bands myspace?

[StudioErdo]

@tokyorose999 The band has no name yet so there is no MySpace either :( But there will be.

[tokyorose999]

@StudioErdo oh well its still sick bro are there any tracks up on a website or something im thinking about getting the same m-audio as you but i want to hear it a little more. thanks !

[StudioErdo]

@tokyorose999 Thanks man! Well I wouldn't recommend it unless you want bluescreens every now and then. You can look into the Focusrite Saffire products - I know there is one that is equal to the Profire 2626. I personally want an RME Fireface 800 but it's still over my budget :(

[produccionesmiranejo]

dude i'd like to hear some clean vocals, the music its self is good but clean vocals would be so badass

[treefiddy00]

maybe not... MAYBE NOT!

[inagod]

@produccionesmiranejo I agree the music would be better suited for clean rock vocals.

[MoshroomFucktory]

[zakkthemusicdude]
