Pro Sound Web: With the impending release of his new album next week, Joe offers an insight on something he picked up while working with one of the songs.
The lesson: sometimes allowing things to go against what you think you should do, in order to get the best performance and make the most of a song, is the right way to go.

That was a really interesting video about recording, which is something that I haven’t really been exposed to yet. I’ve had to do some basic voice recording, and during Wolves I was in the studio when Maddy was being recorded, so I know a bit about how to do it, but I’ve never actually done it for music (maybe next semester if I take Sound Recording). When I work in digital audio workstations though I am very familiar with the metronome, which I didn’t know was actually called the click track. I typically turn it off right away because I’m not doing any recording, but even if I were I would want to turn it off. I find it to be really annoying, but I guess that’s the kind of thing that is up to the artist being recorded. I liked how the author explained his process in deciding not to use the click track and why he thought it would be better. He had some very valid points, and I think his song came out better because he didn’t use it. I also liked that he included a before and after clip of the song, despite the fact that he thought it was embarrassing.
