How to Record a Better Album - Conrad Doucette

In Chapter 21 of 21 in his 2011 Capture Your Flag interview with host Erik Michielsen, musician and Takka Takka drummer Conrad Doucette answers "What Do You Find Most Challenging About Recording an Album?"  One unique challenge Doucette finds recording an album is knowing when to stop.  He notes that great artists know when to stop and leave some space for the listener to use his or her imagination.  Doucette is the drummer for the Brooklyn-based band Takka Takka.  He also performs with The National, Okkervil River, and Alina Simone.  When not performing, Doucette works as a copywriter, blogger, and digital media producer.  He has worked at Blender, Fuse TV, and Heavy.com.  Doucette earned his BA in History from the University of Michigan.
