Pre-production
As the one-man band of Palefighter, Matthew Carano has learned a lot about how to streamline the recording process, and how to use pre-production to his benefit. In this show, we'll focus on sketching and recording demos, and how to sculpt a song as it goes through its various incarnations and drafts. Recorded and edited by Tyler Brown at Bellboy Recording in Richmond CA. (10 mins.)
