Don’t Be Afraid of Recording Your Effects! With Nic Hard [SSP #025]

June 20th, 2019 by

Nic Hard has been fearlessly recording his effects and audio processing for decades, and talks to Justin Colletti about how you can do the same.

He routinely commits to audio processing choices while tracking, from compression to EQ to distortion to pitch vending—sometimes to an extreme degree—all in his pursuit of getting as finished of a sound as possible while going in.

This industry veteran has worked with major artists including Snarky Puppy, The Bravery, Ghost Beach, Aberdeen City, The Church, Becca Stevens and more. He talks to Justin Colletti about mic techniques, tracking through audio processing, mixing and more.
