￥Watch this reality TV style video to witness a full day of recording at our studios with Gus, a musician/engineer from Buenos Aires Argentina. In this video, he tracks drums, bass, and guitars. This episode gives us an inside look into what a real session looks like, including experimentation and trouble shooting to get the perfect sound. We start with getting the right drum sound, where you can pick up many techniques for mic placement, tuning, and even performance advice for the drummer.

 

Watch as Gus gathers samples, gets a great snare sound, and guides the band through tricks to improve the drum sound. Next, stay tuned for guitar tracking, where you can watch Gus and the group get a good mic placement for the amp, learn their process for achieving their guitar sound, and watch their decision making process for determining what to track. Then, follow along as the group tracks bass, learning what gear they’re using, how they’re processing the bass signal on the way in, and how they achieve the resulting sound. The whole episode is interspersed with stories and perspectives from the different band members as they go through the process. It’s a great episode to watch if you’re looking for an honest behind-the-scenes perspective of a real tracking session.
