Featured Artist: David Alter
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009Exploring the connection between health and music, David Alter teams up with Studio Pros to make professional recordings that will benefit health charities through his unique new company.
David Alter is an artist who knows what he wants, and he uses the resources that Studio Pros provides to get exactly that. Though he’s been writing music for quite a while, performing was something of a new concept for the health professional-turned-musician when he decided to record an album of his own. “The process of recording has been relatively new,” Alter says. “I’ve been writing for many years, but it’s only been lately that I’ve done more of the recording process myself.”
So after he saw an advertisement for Studio Pros in Recording magazine, Alter decided he had nothing to lose by putting his songwriting in the hands of professional studio musicians who could ensure a top quality result for his songs. “I thought I’d try it out and i just loved it,” he says. “I love the process of creating the idea, then arranging it by having a vehicle that gets what I hear in my mind out quickly.”
The decision to try Studio Pros ended up being worth his while, as it turned out. Studio Pros helped him bring the music bouncing around in his head into fruition and helped satisfy Alter’s inner musical control freak, all in a manner so efficient he believes it couldn’t have happened had he not used the service. “I always have a demo,” he explains. “I have a home setup, and I do the demo and get it set arrangement-wise. Then I upload that when I’m ready, along with lyrics and instructions.” Alter then takes the results of Studio Pro’s studio musicians and uses them as part of his creative process, adding new instruments and parts himself as he is struck by new inspiration.
