Most of the time a USB flash drive works great for this.  This is also why we ask that there be a spokesman for a band or ensemble.  That person is the “owner” and Realgrey will only make the files available to them.  We ask that the spokes person manage the sharing of files.</p> <p>It’s typical for us to “bounce” a track after each session, we share these via Dropbox.  These are yours to share with others involved in the production process.  We’d encourage not to make them public until they have final mix status.</p></p> </div> <p></p> <div class="post-entry"><p>Released: February 25, 2021<br /> <p>For best results, only individuals involved in the recording process should attend your production sessions.  If you have questions about this, please just contact us at the studio prior to arrival.  And we thank you kindly in advance for that.</p></p> </div> <p></p> <div class="post-entry"><p>Released: February 25, 2021<br /> <p>Song mapping is defining all the parts of the song and deciding where they appear in the song structure.  This is where the producer and artist can learn a common language ... this is the hook ... this is a bridge ... this is the A, B or C part ... the actual terms aren’t important, but that everyone working on the song understands them in the same way is very important.  Saves hours in the production process.</p> <p>A well mapped scratch track can make it possible for someone fairly unfamiliar with the song to understand it quickly and be able to interact with it spontaneously.</p></p> </div> <p></p> <div class="post-entry"><p>Released: February 25, 2021<br /> <p>Scratch tracks give the artist, producer, engineer and studio musicians a way to dig into the song prior to beginning production.  It’s completely stripped down so what’s happening musically can be clearly discerned by all who will play on the song.  Chord structure, timing, dynamics and part consistency throughout the song can be discussed and defined.</p></p> </div> <p></p> <div class="post-entry"><p>Released: February 25, 2021<br /> <p>A scratch track is a temporary recordings, usually to a click track (time reference) that includes the core rhythm instrument ... piano or acoustic, which ever element is driving the song rhythmically ... and a vocal reference.</p> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q-wpbvY1vAU" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen><p>

We have artists visit the studio prior to recording so we can work out a budget. We will ask some questions like, how many songs, now many players, do you need us to mix and master? Once we have that info we can put together an estimate. There’s never any pressure there, we just want you to know how to plan. We also want you to be fully aware of what could influence the cost. If you are interested in visiting the studio to set up a budget hit up the Artist survey below and we’ll send you a link to our visit calendar.
