http://pca.st/episode/c3f4f48f-051d-429c-adcc-0a7c00507fba (17.5.2018)
Obertonreihe sehr praxisorientiert
Bässe in Oktaven, quinten darüber, andere Akkordtöne noch höher
Ableitung: Reihenfolge = Stärke des Intervalls ... Verschmelzung vs. Komplexität/Dissonanz

Funktionen: Bass Range, Harmonic Range (3 Oktaven ... Open close), Effect Range ... auch Instrumente aus der harmonic Range nach oben holen
Hohe dopplungen ist ein natürlicher EQ ... besser als eine technische Lösung
Akkorde im im Effekt-Register werden nicht mehr als Akkorde wahrgenommen
Laut Obertonreihe: „schwächere“ Töne in das obere Register schieben
Stabil: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13
„Lydische“ Range
Quintenzirkel = Lydische Tonleiter bzw. Reflexion Lokrisch
Fehlendes Intervall in der Obertonreihe: b9 (ok mit Sept)

200 reels of analogue tapes ... It’s the space around the snare ... parallel Distortion = feels dry ... close mice are important, character comes from the other mics ... Tipp: SM57 (talk back) pointing at the side of the drummers head > 1176 > smash it = vibe

3. Development: Sketch ausarbeiten ... Ideen aus dem Sketch auch motivisch verwenden
Kreativität ist extern (Behauptung). Wie wird man zum Empfänger? Umkehrung, Krebs & Co ... kann inspirieren ... positive Rückkopplung, nicht warten
Kunde vs. Entscheidungen: Nix persönlich nehmen
Umgang mit Kritik = Professionalisierung
Zurück zum Start = genau hinhören, was der Kunde möchte
