Jim Adkins | Mini Dive 01 - Voice Memos On Albums 

You seem like such a genuinely kind individual. Funny, too.

So come on, DAVEY, sing me something that I know

now Rick Beato enters the chat on that creativity.

This is really sweet. I wish to see more of these in depth stuff with their songs

Love the "thAT'S DAVEY" at 3:09

More mini dives, pleeeeease ❤️☺️🎶

Wow. I've done this before because it's quick and easy but I thought it was still very amateur of me to do it. Also, love the AFI collab.

Loving these new vids Jim!! Total Rick Beato vibes. Amazing to see the nuts & bolts of your process.

the dynamics on congratulations sounds sooo good on my monitors.

Jim needs to make more vids like this. This is amazing!

This is cool!! I will watch AS MUCH of this kind of stuff as you will put out lol. The most interesting thing to me would be hearing about the entire songwriting process for a whole song.

One plus of the pandemic is I found this YT channel, which is super awesome.

Jimmy eat world - the phone-album!!! 😉👍🏻🎵🎸

loving these episodes!!! and have new appreciation for jimmy......

This is just so rad and innovative. Your creative thought process is fascinating and just makes so much sense!

Mr Adkins, I’m enjoying your content. Keep it up man. Love my JA90.

Awesome! Love this behind the scene stuff Jim!

It's always amazing to see how much you can get out of very little if you're willing to throw your preconceptions out of the window. Not a chance in hell that anyone would notice it was recorded on a phone if you didn't highlight it.

I'm loving this content. So cool to see something that blends "behind the scenes" with storytelling and advice/tips. Been a fan since middle school and I'm old with kids now, so thanks for even MORE cool stuff!

i love this stuff plz keep it coming

Jim, you are the best singersongwriter. 👍

more of this please. more of this.

Loving all these creative insights. Much more please!

Very cool little video. I definitely wanna see more of this kind of thing too

Jim these behind the scenes videos are so awesome dude! I’ve been a huge fan since clarity and have been with you guys for every album since. Having this kind of access As a fan is So awesome. I look forward every day to hopefully a new upload! Thank you for the stuff dude

So cool to hear Davey's vocals isolated!

More of these please!

I love these very interesting things going on here

the one person that disliked this video probably still has the iPhone 3G

Frickin' LOVE voice memos.

Loved this! Definitely inspired me to kick out more tunes!

Wow that is funny that you had make the sound more lo-fi to fit what you imagined it would sound like. Really cool video and some interesting points about recording technology. Thanks for sharing!

Great little video!!! Keep 'em coming!

MESA AZ is proud

So cool! Keep the studio videos coming please :)

Mind blown 🤯 that you got davey to just record and send it off his phone freaking love that part well that whole song but man I thought he like home studio or something and sent you it not off his phone 😆 and that’s so cool one mil was recorded like that! Definitely going to give it a try to record any ideas now! 🙏 do a Rick Beato collab for your pod or this he’ll be a great person to chat with!

This is awesome. Voice memos are super underrated

I love these videos! Keep them up!

I FUCKING KNEW IT WAS DAVEY!!! lol thanks for confirming this.

Break down the session for The Middle !

I'm watching this and all I can think is, those are Karaoke backing vocals ... want. x)

Digging this stuff Jim!

I heard you mention this in an interview. I thought you were referring to the vocal track being the one that you needed to fuck up.

Cool!

Let's hear about those plug-in's more.. please!

It sounds waaaayyyy too good man! 😭

But what the hell did I just see with my ears? LOL-mazing!

Imagine a full album recorded with an iPhone mic?

Why did I buy those microphones?

Hashtag Jimmy Eat Wold?

Genius!

In the intro of the first song on Chase This Light, I can hear someone say something on the 8th beat before the song kicks off. Does it say 'snare'?

The iphone has a surprisingly magical compressor built in it. Try it on drums, not kidding ;)

does he produce all the JEW records?

nice

You should have fans submit voice memos to sing in a song.

Okay, fine, you can produce my album. (How would I actually make that happen?)

Well it's unhealthy perfectionism, like the space your recording dictates a big chunk of sound, and as long as your phone doesn't distort the sound, you're good

I'm still on XLR. I'm such a dinosaur.

hey this rules

I know you probably won't see this comment, but will you please release a 30 year anniversary of the self titled album and static prevails

I always thought it was a 12 string.

I know right?! Things are so much easier now. I mean, everyone has $1000 computer in their pocket now. I’m actually surprised there aren’t interfaces to run mics so you can record multiple tracks and mix on a virtual board from your phone. (Or in GarageBand). I mean, even GarageBand is amazing software for free. Kids these days have no idea what it’s like to try to bounce tracks down from a four track cassette recorder.

More creativity needs to go into the art of recording. Too many bands these days still act like everything is on Reel to Reel.

"kicking butt"? please. I am a Christian

First

Yeah show us 'davy' post process, stop the bullshit as it just lessens your cred.
