Nobasis Studios

Here's the recording process at Nobasis Studios.

Drums

  1. When you get here you will set up the drums and I'll put mics on them. (below-left)
  2. The guitar cabinet will go in the vocal booth. The guitar is only there for reference. It will be recorded again later.


  3. Now you record the drums while the other bands members play along. (below-left)
  4. If the drummer messes up you need to start over.
  5. You do all of the drum tracks before going on to the other instruments.



    Guitars

  6. Next is usually guitars (or sometimes bass). The guitar cabinet goes in the vocal booth.
  7. The guitarist will listen to the drums in headphones and play along.
  8. If you mess up on guitars you don't have to start over. You can go back and fix parts of the song.



    Bass

  9. The bass is pretty much the same as guitar.
  10. The bass cabinet goes into the vocal booth and plugs in the same as the guitar. (below-left)
  11. You can fix parts of the song like the guitar.



    Vocals

  12. The singer goes in the vocal booth.
  13. You can hear the music in headphones while you sing along.

  14. When you're done we make sure the levels are okay.
  15. You get a burned master copy to take home.
