FAQs
How long will your recording process it take?
In all our experience, "how long is it going to take?" is the most common question that we face! Depend on many variables, the answer is quite different; making this such a hard question to answer.Finding this answer depends heavily on the artist, the complexity of their work, and how prepared they are before entering into the studio!
Here are some rough ideas of standard setup times:
Drums - about 1:00-1:30 (tuning, drum maintenance,etc.)
Bass - 0:15 – 0:30
Guitar - 0:15 - 0:30
Vocals - 0:20 - 0:40 (vocal booth takes 0:10 - 0:15 to set up)
Keys - 0:10 - 0:20
So somewhere in the range of 3-4hrs is realistic for set ups of a full band multi-tracking.
See the 7valley Rates & Packages for more details.
How important is pre-production work?
Remember, preparation is not only the key to great performances, but also a great time/money saver! Pre-production work (practicing and demo recording) is usually the best way to go about prepping yourself. The raw demo recordings allow the artist to record rough ideas; listen back, and work on every fine little detail. It provides the ability to evaluate your song from a different perspective, like a producer.
How can I maximize my budget?
Once you've prepared and feel comfortable to start recording, the next stage is all about the artist: getting warmed up, feeling the vibe of the live room, and nailing that magical take. Of course, experimenting and trying new things while recording is always fun and necessary but being well prepared will always help quality and budget in the long run. The worst thing that could happen is that artists come unprepared and have to sacrifice quality to make up time to stay within budget. If you put time into your art, the recordings will sound fantastic and they won't break your wallet. But don't fret, 7valley is here to help you, the best we can, every step of the way!
