If one is not careful how he uses his time in the studio, he might end up spending thousands of dollars on recording. This blog presents tips on how one can make a record or EP without having to spend thousands of dollars. The first tip is to program the drums. You should go for programmed drums with software like EZ Drummer or Superior Drummer rather than spending much time in the studio preparing live drums. This is particularly good for rock and heavy metal genres of music. These softwares contain many drum samples one can choose from. The next tip is to record your guitars at home, save the DI files and take them to the studio to be reamped. This is what a mixing engineer can help you do. By so doing, you can save a lot of money on guitars. Also, record your vocals at home. This saves the amount of money and time you spend in the studio on vocal lessons. Many more tips are found in the blog.
Key Takeaways:
- One can easily save on thousands of dollars and time he could have spent in the studio recording drums by using software like EZ Drummer or Superior Drummer.
