Lesson #7, Tracking - Posted on 2015-04-20 by Jonathan Santos

This lesson gave me ideas, tips and tricks to be organized, and to have everything under control with the musicians, the session you're working with and every other aspect.
I learned how i should write notes, for example, every member of the band, what instrument are they using, the tempo o the song, the key, and that is just to name a few, and this may look silly, but it's really useful at the time you have to record for a client and not forgetting anything.
I learned about doing plot maps, and how to set up in one or more rooms every musician, how you should know what microphone to use, putting a nice set up in order to make them feel confortable. And something crusial is to have a professional atitude in front of everyone.
Two sessions of this week were mixing some songs, and one day I had the chance to bring one song i recorded at how, to mix it and add some effects with some of the nice plug ins they have in the studio!
