This month, I have taken on the project of recording three songs for The Reverie’s new EP they are working on. I got in contact with the band at the beginning of January, and have been having discussions with them in preparation for recording.

The Reverie is a 5 person independent band based in Sidney, Ohio. Their first single, “Stay” debut last October and is available to stream on all platforms. Check it out on Spotify.

In taking on this project, there are a few personal goals that I have set for myself. One of the overarching goals of this project for me is to grow my craft in the studio, and to be able to move quickly and efficiently during the session. There are also some specific pre-production practices that I will be highlighting during this project. These include meeting with the band to discuss specifics, familiarizing myself with the band’s musical influences, and creating Protools sessions and input lists in advance. A big question that I am asking throughout this entire project is how can I use recording and mixing techniques to highlight a band’s unique sound.
