Issue #72 – Tips & Tricks
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
It is so important to not only get familiar with the equipment in a recording studio as part of your apprenticeship, but to also be able to listen and learn how your mentor interacts and discusses the recording process with the client during a session. From time to time, you might hear a word or term that you are not familiar with. When you’re one-on-one with your mentor, politely ask your mentor to explain the term to you. Your mentor will be more than happy to answer your question.
There is a whole world of recording studio lingo out there that you will use throughout your career and the sooner you learn those terms and make them part of your studio vocabulary, the sooner people are going to know you understand what you are talking about. In fact, we have created an entire section on the Recording Connection website with a complete glossary of terms that you can use as an added resource to build your studio lingo. Use it to get clarification and help answer your questions about any studio terms you are not familiar with. These can be found at www.recordingconnection.com/glossary
Remember, knowing your equipment and how to work it is key but so is being able to “Walk the walk and talk the talk.” So ask questions, use our Recording Connection Glossary and become fluent in the language of the studio.
