Starsound Studios is offering a free Hip-Hop—Rap recording—music studio open house on Saturday, August 7th, 2021, and once a month after that.

Starsound Studios is proud to introduce the hip-hop rap music open house. This unique event offers you the opportunity to learn about recording hip-hop music in a professional studio setting, directly from our experienced engineer. You can also have your questions answered by the professional and collaborate with other like-minded artists. Topics can include:

Why would you use the Waves Torque plugin? What LUFS standard goes with which social media platform, and why is that important? Shouldn't I use an MP-3? What is a reference track? What is a vocal comp, and why should I do it?

Professional recordings that you enjoy employ a method called a vocal COMP. A vocalist, or rapper, sings their lead part five separate times. Each time, they sing the entire song from beginning to end. Then, if a mistake occurs, keep going. The idea is to take the best pieces from each take to make a super vocal. Then, the audio engineer stitches it together from all the little bits from the five vocal takes. Punching in does not achieve that professional sound. If you intend to sound professional, employ their exact methods. At Starsound Studios, we record everyone the same. It does not matter if you are a star or just starting. Professional concepts are just that. We do not compromise on these principles and would instead refuse the job.

Don't miss out on our open house, held monthly on Saturdays from 1 to 3 pm. This is your opportunity to gain valuable insights, collaborate with fellow artists, and network with industry professionals. Stop overpaying for your recordings and getting very little in return. Instead, join us and discover a new level of quality and professionalism in your music.
