After the release of several television projects on the topic “we are generally ordinary people, but before your eyes we will become stars in a couple of weeks,” young people began to actively imitate the heroes from blue screens. Groups began to gather, buy instruments, began to study the musical foundations and deepen the existing knowledge. In itself, this is very good. Creativity is always commendable. But the question arises - it seems that we have been creating for a certain time, but what's the point? No performances, no recordings … We have to do something about it. And for starters - you can record an album.
Instructions
Step 1
Most of the album recording is done by large recording stations. There are, of course, small recording studios, where, it should be noted, quite talented people work. For a fee, they will happily provide many services - recording instruments, editing sound and voice, mixing tracks, recording to disc, etc. In general, any whim for your money.
Step 2
If, nevertheless, there is a desire to record your album, but the rich "daddy" has not yet been found, then you can do the same procedure at home. True, this will require some equipment, but, nevertheless, it will be several times cheaper than resorting to the help of the record companies.
Step 3
So let's get started. Naturally, in order to record your own album, you need material. At the very least, these are texts that have been worked out and adapted to music. When there are at least fifteen or sixteen of them, then we can proudly call this collection an “album”. However, you can record one at a time for some time. This is at the discretion of everyone.
Step 4
Instruments. Before you can record your voice, you need to record all the instruments. You should start with drums. Since exactly they keep the rhythm. Given the fact that the instruments will be recorded separately, the drummer must keep the rhythm equally well throughout the composition, and for this he will need a metronome. This device keeps the rhythm set to it, which allows the musician not to get lost. Guitars, keys and so on are recorded next. The order of recording depends on how important the instrument is to the song.
Step 5
When the instruments are written down, you need to bring it all together. To do this, you can use programs such as FL Studio. It is geared towards musicians, and that is why the interface is quite friendly and intuitive. Bringing all the tracks together will not be difficult, but you still have to try.
Step 6
When everything is mixed, you can start recording your voice. For this, of course, you need a microphone. It is advisable to buy it not in the market for 150 rubles, but in a specialized store. A good unit can cost from 3000 rubles, but it will also produce the corresponding recording quality.
Step 7
Having solved all the questions with the working material called "songs", we proceed to the design of the album. Naturally, its cover should catch, intrigue, and even if it does not go on sale, it will simply be pleasant to look at your creation yourself.
