She has! Lol…and thanks! It was fun to be the producer on this one!

Cool. I’m already planning on filling that gap with some feedback guitars and maybe a sound bite (old dial up sound? And the ding of receiving a text message?). Good idea to extend it. I’ll look into the mechanics of the best way to do that. I really only know the basics of my recording...

She loves Paramore and No Doubt. But she does musical theater and likes K Pop Demon Hunter….so her influences are kind of all over the place! Plus, she’ll write some songs on piano, some on acoustic guitar, and others she just starts humming a melody. So yeah, all over the place. He new song is...

I like it. The mid section got a little crazy which I loved. It was like an 80’s Mr. Bungle. I have no issues with the mix. I have no issues with the intro because that gritty fuzz tone on the guitar is really cool. Boost up the volume quite a bit on that center guitar at the end that starts...

Always appreciate the comments! Any constructive criticism? Thanks BTS!

Thanks for the comment! I never tune my drums to a certain key or note: I just make sure they sound good on their own. I should try it some time! I wrote and recorded all the music in a couple hours on Saturday. Tuning drums would take half of that!…probably not if I was good at it! Is there...

I really appreciate the comment and compliments. I decided to not be so lazy and put a mic on my real amps this time (single JB strat>Archer IKON>PRS Archon>Mesa 2x12 recto cab>Audix D2). I also felt it was clearer and punchier. Real amps are just better! Thank you!

Awesome, glad I could help you feel depressed through my music! lol! But really, good to know it translated. I definitely like to keep my lyrics more on the obscure side and open to some interpretation so I knew a little explanation was necessary. It’s more interesting to me to say “A...

This was kind of a different one for me. It’s a quick two minute song without a chorus. It’s about my experience witnessing the invention of the internet and its effects on our lives (mostly detrimental). It’s broken into 4 short sections I’m labeling: 1) Discovery and ignorance 2) So far so...

Thanks! It was fun to help direct the creative aspect of the recording process, but still it was all her. Then it’s super fun to mix everything and see how excited she is to hear the final product! I’m excited to get going on the next one. She has the music and lyrics all written. Now just need...

Steelhead!

You try to tell her what to do to her music! She has her ideas and she is pretty set on them! Sometimes she’ll listen to me! Lol!

She’s doing great stuff! She has a new one in the works that has an awesome melody. Coming soon! I tuned the drums. I blended a little bit of a sample in with the snare because I needed more snare wires. Everything else is just my kit (Noble & Cooley Horizon with a Ludwig Black Beauty snare)...

My daughter wrote this one last month and we just finished recording it last night. She did a great job with the lyrics and vocal melody/harmonies. She was determined to play all the instruments herself (drums, bass, guitars) so I was “hands off” on this one. I was just there to produce and...

I liked it! I like the breaks where everything drops out except the drums for a beat. If anything I’d reserve the vocal double for just the chorus or other select parts of the song. Maybe just dial it back for the main verses. Nice job!

I really like the tune and mix. If anything, the acoustic guitars sounded a little too bright. Maybe dial those back so the vocals can shine a bit more. Nice work!

Much appreciated. Definitely check out the Smith’s version. Great tune!

Thanks BTS! Your feedback is always appreciated! Definitely check out the original! You’ll hear a great song and will appreciate the differences between the two versions. Thanks again!

Awesome, I really appreciate that Mark!

Thank you! I always struggle to fit vocals into my dense mixes. This time I compressed pretty hard going in through an empirical labs Mike-e channel strip (Nuke). I rolled off most of the low end (very little left under 300k), compressed hard again with a CLA-76, added some Decapitator...
