Recording drums

Recording

A good recording makes everything that comes after it easier. Whether you come to the studio or I come to you, the goal is the same: capture performances you're proud of, with the sound you hear in your head.

At the studio

Black Sun Audio sits in the Djursland countryside, about 30 km north of Aarhus. Full bands can track here: there's a large live room with a high ceiling and great natural acoustics, a separate vocal booth, and a spacious control room. It's a quiet place, made for long, focused days of work.

Mobile recording

Can't come to the studio? I'll bring a mobile rig to your rehearsal space, your home or another studio, and record any instrument – from a full drum kit to lead vocals.

From one musician to another

I've spent many years on the other side of the glass, in the studio and on stage with my own bands. I know how much pressure being in a recording situation can put on a performance. My job is to keep things relaxed, keep the session moving and get the best take out of you – not the most takes.

How a session works

  1. Tell me about the project. Line-up, number of songs, the sound you're after and any deadline.
  2. We plan it together. What gets tracked where, in what order, and how many days it needs.
  3. We record. At the studio or on location.
  4. Next steps. You take the raw tracks home, or I start editing, mixing, and mastering.

Recording at home?

Tracking guitars or bass yourself and sending them to me for mixing? These guides will help you get it right: how to record DI guitars properly at home and how to achieve a great bass DI sound.
