We're proud to kick off the Berklee Online Musicians' Tips & Tricks series with Neil Codling! Known for his work with Suede (or The London Suede, for those of you watching this in North America) and the Penguin Cafe, Neil shares recording and tracking tips for multiple instruments using examples from his own music, Prince, Sonic Youth, Elvis Costello, Nick Drake, and more.
Key takeaways from this instructional video:
-Record an actual hi-hat when programming drum plug-ins and software
-When recording an electric bass, boost the bottom end with a bass equalizer to get a warmer sound
-When recording an acoustic guitar, use two-octave layering
-Don't get hung up on spending a lot of money on vintage gear -- versatile modern guitars can achieve great sounds, too
-When mixing, separate sounds out across the sonic spectrum using the EQ
