Advice on Recording Audio

Some viewers have asked me to talk about recording music - so here I am blathering on about recording music. Hopefully this will be useful for someone as I feel I am probably just gibbering on.

Oh yes, and good to hear someone else against piracy.

@lordwormpie I'm not really against it. I just don't do it. I understand why some do, but if you have the cash and you are serious, then pay.

@vroomuk also Darren I've noticed you like a good Godin or two :-) I've got a steel string Godin Acousticaster it was my very first guitar I got it for £40 and still in good condition I was just wondering if you know much about them and roughly what they're worth. Cheers.

[vrooomuk]

@craigyfear Well I know that new Godin Acousticaster's are around a grand. Not sure about second-hand value. Probably nearer £300-400 - though it is so hard to price a guitar these days what with the ECONOMY. Yes, I do have a soft spot for Godin's...

@vroomuk I don't think we've got the individual tracks but I'll ask the question :-) If not though I might let you get your filthy mits on some of our new recordings as and when they happen. Thanks for the offer though. Much appreciated

[vrooomuk]

@craigyfear Whatever you want to do... ;-)

Fripp is the master. I find what he does to be a maturity of tones. Not just noises with purpose, but sounds with spaces to open conscious pathways and lines that fall into the masters catagory. I have heard RF do things that made me cry, absolute wonderful textures tha massage the cerebral cortex. King Crimsons first seven albums have moments in them that make goosebumps and then they went into techno throb and incredible jamming with Adrian belew. Anyway, thank you for sharing your mind.

great video, ideas and advice!

thanks a lot man!

...and yeah....i was fine till I started to "get clever" - simple tracks were so much easier and sounded so much better. You really have to know what you're doing mixing wise the more complicated your composing get. Oh sometimes, just sometimes I miss the old tascam four track cassette days. And yes, reverb is a very cruel mistress.

Loved this post. Lot of good ol fashioned sense. and stuff a lot of people assume we know. And speaking for myself - don't
