Getting recordings that you captured on your voice memos app to sit nicely in your mix may sound like a daunting task.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It goes without saying that setting yourself up for success with effective phone recording techniques<\/a> is half the battle. But once you have your recordings captured and dragged into the DAW, where do you go from there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the tutorial video above, we take unprocessed voice memo recordings and walk through the steps we took to make them work in the context of our production.
