83: The "Day Two" Recording Hack for a Better Mix

The guys talk about a "pre-mix" recording hack as a way to get a better mix and have more fun doing it.
Before the days of DIY, recording music could be a more intense process. Bands were prepared to spend weeks or even months in a studio trying different instruments, different amps, different mic techniques, different arrangements, etc., - all before ever hitting RECORD. 

Mixing, on the other hand, was more about achieving balance between those carefully produced tracks. 

Today, it's the exact opposite. We tend to throw together pristine digital recordings as quickly as possible and the QUICKLY move onto the sexy mixing phase. 

...but what if there was a hybrid approach that could be more fun and get you a more satisfying result? 

In this episode, you will learn:
  • How the process of making records has evolved (and three reasons why)
  • An alternative approach and it's possible advantages
  • A recent case study from Vadim's studio and what he learned
  • Tips for employing the "day two" method in your own work process
  • The key mindset shift that is required for this process to work - it's an easy one.
