Improve Your Home Recording
Improve Home Recording
Do you make your own recordings, or are you using a project studio?
Do you have a home studio or are using a professional, but smaller or less equipped studio? If so, you should consider using Blue Sky Recording to supplement your recording capabilities. Do you have a limited budget, but can't afford to sound like you're on a limited budget? What's your weakest link? Here's how we can help:
Drum Sounds...
Many studios, especially home studios, don't have the mics, converter channels, or even the space to properly record a full drum kit. Take advantage of our many high quality mics, mic-pres & compressors, not to mention our spacious recording room (keep in mind that the room contributes to the sound of the drum kit). Also, we have experience recording numerous drum kits, and we know what it takes to get the kind of drum sound that you're looking for. If you're using a drum machine and would prefer the sound and feel of real drums, we can even supply the drummer!
Lead vocal...
If there's a lead vocal, it's most likely the most important aspect of the song. Recording your lead vocal through a quality signal chain, and with an experienced engineer, can make a huge difference. Also, different vocalists sound better through different mics. Having a variety of quality (and even non quality) mics to choose from is a great asset.
Mixing...
Besides the actual arrangement, and more than the equipment, mixing is primarily about skill and experience. Unless you're an experienced mix engineer, bringing your pre-recorded tracks to us and having them processed individually can tremendously improve your mix. Also, you can get an education. The mix engineer, after getting to know your tracks intimately, can give you tips on how to record them better, as well as reinforce what you're doing right.
Mastering...
Another art requiring skill and experience, mastering can greatly clean up & improve your recording. Please refer to our mastering page for more information.
Real Piano & Vintage Keys...
Why settle for synth emulations when you can have the real deal? Add a real baby grand piano, Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer Electric Piano or Hohner Clavinet to your recordings.
