Recording Guide

Get better raw recordings before you send them to us.


Gain staging


Record with peaks around -6 dBFS. Loud is not better — clipped takes cannot be repaired.

Room


Treat reflections where you can. A blanket-lined corner beats an untreated bright room.

Takes


Comp the best lead take, then record doubles and ad-libs separately on their own tracks.

Monitoring


Track with light reverb in your headphones if it helps performance, but print the file dry.

Export


Bounce each track separately, same start time, 24-bit WAV at your session sample rate.
