These days, artistst are using all the benefits of the modern technology when recording a new song or album. Such as autotune (for fine tuning pitch of the vocals)
Compressors, limiters
Reverbs, delays...
But the most important "instrument" in the studio is computer and non-linear, multi channel editors. Software like Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic and many more. In the past, I used Cubase, and Nuendo, but I bought some Apple hardware and since than I use Logic Pro X.
The benefit is that the single artist can record all instruments and vocals by him/here self. And can have as many takes necessary for the perfect performance. When you record one instrument, you take another, record it, take another, record and so on... When finished, then you mix it, master and ta daaa, song is born. This is perfect because you can get excellent results and perfectly produced song without any mistakes and very polished final product.
Unfortunately, sometimes this results in a reduction of the human factor in the end. Such as "little mistakes", late starts, cracks, pops and noises that musicians make during performance. This in many occasions, adds the liveliness and excitement in the songs.
Im very excited when I get the chance to record and mix a band in the studio performing all the instruments and vocals at the same time. One of them is the band "Mushroom Club" from my hometown. They performed their own song called "Baby". No post corrections, autotune vocals, all in one take. Listen and i hope you enjoy it like i was when i was working on it.
