sometimes I need to take a step back and remember just how many tracks layered it takes to get a studio song to sound how it does. We take it for granted that things don't sound like they would if everyone played stuff straight to you in a room, even just to be able to hear a guitar clearly n all. Mad work, studio work.
#I am stricter about not doubling parts if it can be helped (i.e. not dupl. + EQ to isolate different parts of a kit overhead)#but this is because I specifically work in live-to-tape radio sessions#also the reason for the drum EQ is we only have 8 inputs in studio hahaha. Most full studios will offer you at least 16 or 32.#so you can imagine the kind of shit I'm going through to make the vocalists heard#music#mixing#recording#live session#radio#radio stuff
