For the last several months I have been recording my Postal Service-esque project Random Battles’ first EP, entitled ‘Masters’. This project was meant to be not only a continuation of my work in the Video Game Music community, but also a crash course in recording rock/metal music, mixing and, over the last week, mastering. Essentially I set out to not only learn the ropes of being an engineer, but also to have a product at the end of my first big, all-encompassing lesson. ‘Masters’ is that product.

At CCM studios we record a lot of different genres of music and placement of the vocals in the song is critical in the final mix. Place them too low and they will get masked by the other instruments in the mix… place them too loud and they become an unbearable ear-sore. The most important thing to remember is how they operate within the song. Read more »
