This isn’t just a want; it’s a need. Since we are producing more music now in Dolby Atmos, I have to be able to hear the binaural version properly from anywhere.

These are absolutely perfect for the job!

In addition, I am going to enjoy this season with these sweet headphones! I am !

Love to you all! ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🙏🏽 What an incredible night last night! Los Nadies’ professionalism, energy, warmth, and charisma truly lit up La Peña Cultural Center.

🎼 It was one of the best shows Oscar and I have ever seen at La Peña. I thought we might be biased, but the audience confirmed our sentiment. Throughout the entire show, we heard so many glowing comments praising the performance: The music, the sound, and the energy in the room.

🎆 It was a resounding success, and a much needed offering of love, resilience, and hope for a better world.

💡Work with a great producer as soon as possible. A producer can help you develop your vision from the beginning of the project.

💡Rehearse until tight. Know your arrangements, lyrics, song structure, and tempos before you enter the studio.

💡Record to a click track. This helps you stay in time and it’s ideal for the editing process.

💡Block sessions (half-day or full-day rates). It’s often cheaper blocking the entire day than booking just a couple of hours.

💡Book sessions wisely. For example, base tracks first, then overdubs, and then vocals.

💡Be on time. The clock usually starts at the mutually agreed starting time.

💡Don’t try to do everything in one day. Creative focus starts to drop after 6 hours. Recommendation:
✅ 6 to 8 hours max per day
🚫 Avoid going beyond 10 hours

💡Communicate clearly with other musicians, producers, engineers or staff who will be in the studio. Make sure everyone knows their role and set expectations ahead of time.

💡Limit the amount of people in the studio. It’s tempting to bring friends, collaborators, or family, but too many voices can slow decision-making and create distractions.

💡Don’t forget to take breaks while in the studio. Use the breaks to step outside, hydrate, and stretch.

⭐️If you have other great tips for the recording sessions, please share them in the comments.
