Fuseroom Recording Studio - Live From Berlin

Welcome back to Fuseroom Recording Studio for a 1-hour talk over one of the most debated - and heated - topics: Why do most indie artists and their productions suffer from a self-hijacking approach that leads their records to be a pain to make? We start from excerpts of a chat between two sound engineers, then we go back to a bit of history and then we keep drilling into Alberto's personal opinion. Sit down and relax (if you can ;)).

Welcome to episode 8! This week we talk about the remastering of a great video game soundtrack: "Dreamweb". Out in 1994, this game represents one of the best there is for cyberpunk, sci-fi, dystopian, futuristic adventures. Part of that is due to the amazing soundtrack that Matt Seldon and Steve Boynton wrote, that lets you drift into the mood and atmosphere of the game. Lots of things to talk about: - Extracting audio from the video game - Noise reduction - Spatialization and mono-to-stereo decisions - Imaging and low-frequency distribution - Analog outboard After the episode, head over to the Bandcamp page and download the album, it's free! Get the remaster of the soundtrack, here: http://dreamweb-remastered.bandcamp.com

Episode 7, so nice and crisp! This week we talk about "how is Fuseroom wired, how does your signal chain work and how does it work to record something there?" - thanks to JB Berg for asking such question in our YouTube channel. Hot this week: Kingswood > www.kingswoodband.com

Episode 6 is beautiful because it has a picture of my cat as cover! Some great, great topics to cover, this week! "What reverbs do you like and use?" and "What is your general approach to mastering a track?" With a cover like this, you know this podcast means business.

Episode 4, ladies and gentlemen! Huge question to answer, this week: "How do you handle credits?" Lots of people struggle to get widely recognised by the public, others get the exposure instead of the money. How can we deal with that? Are you sure you are also doing your part in giving the credits? Being such a wide question, we decided to split it in two parts: - Giving Credits (through all of your channels) - Getting Credits (from companies and/or small clients) Two things we've learnt this week are going to be able mastering and shaping a sound for pitching to labels and how stereo width has changed today's typical mixing!

Episode 3, in all of its glory! Another fantastic weekend in Berlin: Golden October, people! Great question to answer, this week: "How do you get paid? By the hour or per project?" and for our 'Two Things I've Learnt This Week' we talk about session reliability and printing your mix, live!

Episode 2 is here! Hot and live from a very warm Berlin, in October!

Episode 1 is here, hot and live from a simple iPhone. Today we talk about what's new and answer the question: "how do I make my in-the-box recorded tracks sound more pro from the very start: more analog, thick and juicy, without analog hardware?"
