This week, the guys dive into what is potentially the most crucial step behind the process of making records - PRE-PRODUCTION! Because the outcome of a song is tied so closely to the pre-production process, this will be the 1st in a series of multiple episodes dedicated to breaking down the idea of pre-production. In an effort to better explore how to attack it and what you can get out of it, this episode goes in depth on the following topics:-Pillars of Song Structure-Where to begin refining your songs structure?-Identifying and elevating the most memorable moments of the song-In-person vs. Remote Pre-Production-Terminology - Getting on the same page-Letting the song dictate the structure-"Playing It vs. Saying It"For more info, visit our website at:www.truelevelstudio.com/therecordprocessFollow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/therecordprocess/https://www.instagram.com/truelevelstudio/?hl=enShow Hosts:Casey Cavaliere (Producer / Mixer / Guitarist of The Wonder Years)www.CaseyCavaliere.comwww.thewonderyearsband.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/case_rock/?hl=enTom Conran (Audio Engineer / Producer / Acoustician )www.TomConranAudio.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/thetomconran/?hl=enAdam Ackerman (Songwriter / Recording Artist / Multi-Instrumentalist)www.AtomSonicConcepts.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/theadamackerman/?hl=enShare any thoughts, questions, comments, or suggestions with us via email at:TrueLevelStudio@gmail.comArtwork by Holly Smith ( https://www.instagram.com/_hollysmith/?hl=en )Music:Main Theme - "Almas" by Casey CavaliereAdditional Music by Tom Conran
