The whole point of the training system is that you can build them up. From a label's perspective it's often better to get a know-nothing who you can then mold into the preferred image and sound, rather than someone already wildly talented but uncooperative and difficult to work with because she has her own fancy ideas about how things should be done. There's a whole nother blog in this, easily.Kpopalypsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485316114199989423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-25731897538715138092013-07-27T18:11:42.627-07:002013-07-27T18:11:42.627-07:00Yes. Most studio and more advanced live desks the...Yes. Most studio and more advanced live desks these days are automated and can store and retrieve settings. (Ever see a music video where the band goes in the studio and gawks cheesily at the camera while the studio control faders on the big desk move up and down on their own? That's not stop-motion trickery - the studio desk can actually do that in real time.) The trick is to know what to set it at in the first place. Something as simple as a change in the acoustics of the room (like some big staging or different floor covering), or one of the singers having a cold, or using a different microphone to usual, might necessitate some tweaking. Sometimes with TV schedules you don't have time to adjust for all the parameters so you just throw up a mix that you hope kinda works and then adjust it from there on the fly. The result usually sounds a bit crappy but sometimes it's all you can do.Kpopalypsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485316114199989423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104650668609735792.post-90900383541416699842013-07-27T17:59:42.759-07:002013-07-27T17:59:42.759-07:00Thanks for the posts ^_~
