Just picture this: you have promised an agency that you will have a piece of music ready in the format that they have asked for, within the next week. This sounds quite doable because you thought you had all the components that you required to get things in place. Your room in your home is ready: the padding on the wall has been put up and you are quite sure that there will be all from outside that could disturb your recording in anyway. What you have not budgeted for is the fact that there could be small noises that come from inside the room and not outside. This is when you find that your submit music job could be in a bit of trouble because of these noises that now get amplified in your soundproof room.

Background Noises

What could these noises be? Have you ever thought that this hiss you hear is not from a possible garden snake outside, but your own amp! There is a certain grating sound that you hear, and you think it is your friendly neighbour’s even friendlier dog trying to get your attention. However, however, you realise that this is not so – it is the sound created by some of the technical equipment that you thought was performing perfectly well. Sometimes, even a squeaking chair could cause a lot of disturbance in the final recording. Having a person who is an expert in recording helps a great deal; you can probably cut down on any wastage of time or effort and make sure that you get things right and get a head start while submitting a song.

More editing

To help you ensure that your editing is done well, you could use good quality filters that improve the performance of instruments, both percussion and otherwise. With time editing, you can also find a way to ensure that off-beat notes are fixed. There are various ways in which this can be done. For percussion instruments, you could try the cut and paste method, whereas, for other instruments, in fact for most of them, you could try the time-stretching method. These might not be your forte; it is, therefore, important to find the right persons who could do this for you. If you want to do pitch editing, there are different kinds of software that are available today to help you do your job.
