Comping All the Best Takes: Becoming a Music Producer
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. The next process we are going to do now is to really compile all the best takes and best pieces of takes into one. So there is a lot of continuity, sounds real and we get the best of the best. Let's go to the screen and I will show you what I mean. Here we have 3 takes of the introduction of Leona singing. As you can see the wave forms are very very similar, meaning that she is pretty much on consistently with each take but we liked for instance take 2 of this section, we like take 1 of this section and we like the end of this section. So ultimately what we are going to do is we are going to chop and get rid of the stuff that we don't want and keep what we do.
