Home Studio Mistakes: Why You’re Recording Too Many Tracks

One of the most common home studio mistakes is when people record too many tracks.

Most people think that recording more tracks will make their mixes sound bigger. 

This is not always the case. 

The truth is that there is a point of diminishing returns as far as high track counts are concerned.

Recording too many tracks can often cause more harm than good. It’s one of the most common home studio mistakes I come across.  

More tracks do not necessarily equate to a bigger sounding mix. 

As a matter of fact, recording too many tracks can often result in a smaller sounding mix.

The more tracks you record arbitrarily, the less focused your production will end up sounding.

No one wants a cluttered, unfocused sounding production and adding too many tracks to your production can often result in this problem. 

In my latest video, “Why You’re (Probably) Recording Too Many Tracks In Your Home Studio”, I explain the three main areas where many home studio recordists tend to overdo it in the tracking department.

Achieving pro level mixes has very little to do with gear or complicated workflows.

It’s all about utilizing professional workflows and systems within your home studio.
