After the Last Take: Becoming a Music Producer

Video Transcript

Hi! My name is Larry Hammel, singer, songwriter, engineer and producer of Deep Waves Studio here in New York City and on behalf of Expert Village, I would like to welcome you to how to produce a recording artist. Okay, we finished with Leona. She did her takes. We have enough raw materials now we feel as though to do vocal comps and properly mix and get everything integrated into the mix. So I just really wanted to know how you felt about everything. Were you comfortable in there? I was, thank you very much. How did you feel about the headphones as you said you had some issues with that. Uhm, it's really hard to get used to singing with the headphones, hearing yourself in your own head when you are used to just hearing yourself in a room and getting used to knowing when you are supposed to get louder and softer in certain parts of the song rather than just hearing it all inside your head. We had time constraints so we really couldn't get acclimated with the room. So basically she had to do what she was comfortable with so she took one of the headphone pieces off which was just perfectly suitable even though it caused a little bit of bleed, we felt. We were able to get by. The most important thing was the performance and you did a fantastic job. Thank you.
