StudioKnights has recently had an opportunity to be a part of a pilot
reality webisode for Michaux TV. In this process we learned a lot about
collaboration and problem solving effectively to complete a successful project.
The musicians’ process is a grueling one and to have it filmed can be an
efficient way to critique and memorialize the studio recording process. Most of
all, it is a way to break down those barriers and really get to the root of
emotions to allow for the creative process.

Collaborating
with various artists in the studio is a very rewarding process. The more people
involved in a music setting always allows for an in depth structure to the
project. Each person brings a unique perspective to the goal of the album. This
also means that everyone must learn to take others’ opinions and put them in to
consideration before dismissing them.
Being in
the studio for hours on end is very trying for everyone involved. There is
a technical difficulty that arise and that is when emotions can run high.
Learning to be an efficient problem solver and troubleshoot the issues
thoroughly can take time and patience. It is important to look at things in
a “glass half full” perspective.
Once the
process is complete each person walks away knowing their fellow collaborators
on a different level. The barrier that set them apart at the beginning is
broken down and the creative juices have been tapped in to. You gain a view of
each other that opens respect of another artists’ hard work and efforts
in this very competitive music world.
