Many of you readers here at Tuts+ Premium are struggling to make your home recordings as good as possible. Although you might not achieve the big boy sounds you hear on the radio, you can actually get pretty darned close. The mixing phase plays a big part in making your records sound professional, but the production and recording phase obviously plays a big part of it.
In the following Premium tutorial I’m going to take you on a troubleshooting journey on how to make the most of your rock recording. I’ll show you how to make a simple drum recording sound punchy and powerful, how to make the guitars and bass play nice, how to create an automatic fluidity between distorted guitars and the vocals and finally, how to make that terrible closet-sounding vocal sound a little better.
