Beschreibung
This book is a practical guide to music production in the home studio and covers the entire process from the initial recording to a reliable export. In a clear, step-by-step sequence, it explains the fundamental principles of level management, equalization, and dynamics processing; demonstrates the targeted use of reverb, delay, and saturation; and introduces efficient workflows with channel strips that enable quick and confident decision-making. Special emphasis is placed on properly set up and calibrated monitoring, which serves as the foundation for consistent sonic evaluations.
The book covers the clean recording of vocals, guitar, and bass in small rooms as well as the musical programming of MIDI. Vocals are carefully refined, with timing, intonation, and expression specifically optimized without losing their natural character. Analyzers, loudness measurement, and true-peak control ensure reliable results across different playback systems and streaming platforms. A dedicated troubleshooting chapter provides a systematic approach to typical problems such as noise, hum, phase errors, clicks, or latency.
