VOICE RECORDING, EDITING AND MIXING
Recording Studio Series – Manuals for the Sound Engineer – Book 1
Format 21 x 29 cm (A4) – Page 222
WHAT IS THIS BOOK FOR?
The manual aims to provide concrete assistance in quickly achieving professional-level results, aligned with the quality standards of the audio production industry, avoiding the use of analog outboard equipment.
WHO ARE THE RECIPIENTS OF THE MANUAL?
Mainly for semi-professional sound engineers working in Home Recording
But it can also be useful for more experienced sound engineers who want to delve deeper into the specific topic.
And finally, it is aimed at beginners, in order to help them properly learn and experiment with the principles and procedures of digital audio mixing.
Preface
With this volume I set out to provide concrete and simple help aimed at quickly obtaining professional-level results even in amateur or semi-professional production environments, such as home studios.
It covers all the topics related to vocal treatment in the sound field, during recording, editing, mixing and the preparation of vocal stems for mastering.
To complete the basic knowledge of the sound engineer, there are also some summary notes on singing and a large space dedicated to the acoustic care of the room and the optimization of the recording.
Some experienced sound engineers may smile at some of the simplifications in the exposition, aimed at making the material accessible, but perhaps they will still enjoy reading these pages as a mental "review" exercise.
