 FAQ


 

Q. What is an Engineer and what do they do?

A. An audio engineer (also known as a sound engineer or recording engineer) is someone who sets up the recording equipment and records the musicians, making sure all the levels are set correctly so there’s no clipping. This includes placing the microphones perfectly and ensuring the surrounding area is ideal for recording. An Engineer also helps to make the artists feel at home and comfortable during the recording session. (BoDoc Records and/or Nic Murphy will be credited as the Engineer on your track)

Q. What is a Producer and what do they do?

A. A music producer is a professional who works with recording artists and bands, sound engineers, record labels and marketing teams to oversee all creative and technical aspects of an album. The scope of the music producer’s duties can vary widely based on the type of band, label and project, but many responsibilities are common for all record producers. Music producers oversee the recording sessions for the recording and provide feedback to the band/artist and technicians. They are present during the mixing of the album when it all comes together to ensure it meets the standard of the artist, the label and themselves. (BoDoc Records and/or Nic Murphy will be credited as a producer on your track if this service is requested)

Q. What do you mean by Raw Audio Files?

A. The recorded audio file without any editing or mixing done to them. It is typically given as wav (Waveform Audio File Format) audio files.

Q. What IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EDITING AND MIXING?

A. Editing is the splicing, moving or alteration of any audio and/or Midi track(s) in order to advance the take/track(s). Mixing is when you set the relative levels (i.e. volumes) and making sure they are adjusted and balanced with various processes such as equalization and compression which are commonly applied to individual tracks, groups of tracks, and the overall mix. (BoDoc Records and/or Nic Murphy will be credited as the Mixing Engineer on your track)

Q. What is Mastering?

A. This is the last step in the process of making a professional-sounding song. The point of it is to balance the elements of the song and make it sound good no matter what speakers you use. Using things like EQ, compression, stereo improvement, and limiting, mastering polishes up the final mix. During mastering, additional audio treatments are applied to the mix to correct problem frequencies and enhance the musicality of the track. On top of that, mastering can help fix unwanted sounds, like clicks or hisses. It can help lessen problems with the mix, however, that’s not its main job. (Simply put: audio mastering is like the filter on an Instagram photo. It takes what you have and makes it better. Ideally, a well-mastered track will sound crisp, and professional, and it’s a crucial step in making a song (or album) that people will enjoy listening to.)

Q. What is a Master?

A. Master Audio Files are the source file containing the finial mix, the source from which all copies will be produced if marketed. The bands and/or artists will own the rights to the music but BoDoc will own the mechanical recording rights and master file of the recording.

Q. What is the difference between a MP3 and HD-Wav Master?

A. An HD-Wav Master is the highest quality master you can get for your finished song. It’s an industry standard and most requested type of file due to the shire quality of data. An MP3 file has been compressed so some higher and lower frequencies might be lost due to the file being compress, meaning you are getting a good sound but missing on some of the accents within your music. CD quality sound is mainly in Wav format while digital downloads are in the MP3 format. Because of the higher quality of a HD-Wav file it is a much larger file. Almost every digital streaming service will request a Wav format so they know their listeners are getting the best quality possible, even if they have to dumb it down to fit their own format.

Q. What is Publishing/Distribution and what platforms will my music be released on?

A. The act of publishing your music to digital marketplaces such as but not limited to iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and other streaming platforms and digital music stores. By distributing through BoDoc you grant BoDoc’s publishing company, I AIN'T NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT PUBLISHING, permission to be the publisher of the release. Here is a list of all the streaming services and digital music stores that we will distribute your music to: iTunes, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Shazam, Gracenote, Kkbox, Saavn, AWA, 7 Digital, Anghami, TwentyFourSeven, Line, iMuscia, Rhapsody/Napster, UMA, YouTune Music, MediaNet, Tencent, NetEase, Xiami, Yandex, Facebook, Amazon Music, TikTok, Resso, BoomPlay, Alibaba, KuGou, Kuwo, & QQMusic.

Q. Do I, the artist, retain all of my rights when I use your Publishing/Distribution service?

A. YES!! You will retain 100% of the rights. If any producing is needed then we will agree upon how much work BoDoc did and what percentage BoDoc should be compensated for before the material is released. BoDoc will retain the Publishing Fees for any and all materials published/distributed through our services. This gives BoDoc permission to release your material and to use your material for any promotion. Remember, if we use your material for promotional purposes then it helps to promote you as well.

The Kindness Song

Crystal Murphy - The Kindness Song: Released May 29, 2020

The kindness song was inspired by the children and families who attended the 1st annual Kindness Party at the Downingtown Library in October of 2019. My pledge of kindness was to take the words of the children and what kindness means to them, and create a song that is timeless and can be heard for years to come.

Verona

Joshua Dilts (Featuring: Under Red Lights) - Verona: Released May 29, 2020

Working with Joshua Dilts and Under Red Lights was a project we started back in 2011. We recorded roughly 10 songs in the span of a year but because the band split up the songs were never finished and the project was shelved. Now that BoDoc is starting to promote our recording services again we pulled from our archive and started to complete old projects in order to show what we can do with old recordings, basement/home recordings, and what we can help you to sound like if we came to you to record.

Songs of Christmas

Nat Murphy - Songs of Christmas: Released Dec 10, 2020

To some the approach of Christmas was signified in the weather or the appearance of decorations. For me it was always the songs that played in the mall, supermarket, on the radio, and at home by my parents. So, what better subject for a Christmas song than the carols that we all hear during the season.
