Azure Flame In The Studio

Discography | Downloads | Lyrics | In The Studio

 
Musicians all have their own unique methods of creation. Many artists who write their own songs begin with a melody or guitar riff and later write words to fit the music. Azure, on the other hand, begins with lyrics and composes music to the words, accentuating the lyrics and enhancing the mood of the song as it was written.

Step 2: Finalization
Once the composition is complete, Azure then turns her midi and audio files (tracks of the individual instrumental parts which make up Azure's compositions) over to the studio pros for mixdown and the addition of her vocals. The finished "studio version" is then sent off to be mastered, meaning that the tracks are adjusted in frequency and volume, and digitally cleared of any sound impurities. The recording is then ready for packaging.
