1. Make good songs. Watch out for the drama triangle. Somewhere
in this section, there is a perfect spot for the verb »to practice«. This phase
is the most important in the entire process; or as said by Matej[aBox]: »Practice makes perfect and
perfection makes great records«
2. Set aside a
proper timeslot and embark upon drum and bass recording without panic; new drum
heads and old bass strings wanted. Metronome is your friend – when its sound is
embedded in your subconscious, it is time to move on to aBox [Matej Grginič].
3. If you are
equipped with a sufficient number of guitars, amps, effects, microphones,
nerves and you are blessed with an unlimited supply of working hours, you yourself
can enter the adventure best titled:”Hey, what if we recorded the guitars
ourselves?”
4. Because we
half-ignored point 1 [see point 1], we had to include the editing of the
recorded material which was done by Rok Koritnik [Polestar studio], where we
also recorded the vocal parts.
5. At this
point, it is welcome to be satisfied with the recorded material – if you’re
not, you can return to point 1 or use minor cosmetic corrections. The cosmetic
line has, in our case, included the following additions: shaker, tambourine, duck tape, water, pips, Theremin,
pyrotechnic means…
6. You’ve come
so far. It’s time to put the burden on someone else’s shoulders. The responsibility
for mixing has fallen on Andrej Hrvatin [Satoration studio].
7. Because you
want your record to be cosmopolitan
even before it is released, you send it to USA where it is mastered by Carl
Saff [Saff mastering]. From here on, you can use the phrase: «They have made a
breakthrough outside of the borders of Slovenia. «
8. Your record
should be completed by now. Make sure
that the content is accompanied with an appropriate symbolic interpretation, print
enough copies and wish your record an easy take off.
