Recording the Human Voice, Not As Easy As It Seems.

The human voice, a plethora of EQ diversity. This makes the recording engineer's job very challenging. Every studio client comes into the recording session with a mindset they want to sound like their favorite artist or famous personality. The recording session usually begins with ,  " I want to sound like so and so...."   So we try our best with the magic of EQ and software to make the recording client sound like who they imagined. The reality however is they sound like themselves !  This is a big hurdle to get over when working with clients. Many artist who spend time in the studio recording their voice, end up understanding they have a unique sound all their own. They realize this early and embrace it.  Other clients fight it and spend a lot of money and engineering time, chasing someone else's sound.  For all the future recording clients  out there I am here to say, "You have your own sound and it is unique. like it !".  I hope it is that simple.
See you in the studio !!!
