Hi Sarah, glad it helped. We have a bunch of videos for singers, regarding recording, mixing vocals etc. So please check it out if you have a chance. Thanks :)
#9 is what people need to hear. It applies to everything you said prior and after. If you put in work. EX: 8+ hours a day researching production, audio engineering, etc... your chances increase! Regardless of what you learn from it, you're DOING IT. If you get a decent mic, a basic program (cakewalk) is perfect for beginners and FREE. You will learn about yourself, the process, and it allows you to embark on a whole separate journey that will broaden your perspectives!
Hi Abril. That's wonderful! Being a musician and playing an instrument will really help you with your singing. Keep going And always try to keep getting better. 😀 Good luck!
+Gianna Baum Thanks, finally someone who gets me! Lol. Yes, back in the days with Wu Tang and others, we had to ask them not to bring their guns, so we wouldnt have another shootout. :)
Hey I see that you have logic's stereo spread plugin loaded up on the screen in the background. What do you use it for? I don't so many people/engineers that use it.
Not really much, I just picked as many interesting looking plugins that I could fit on the screen as a backdrop. But I actually do occasionally use it. But it does some weird phasing thing that doesn't sound great in mono. For stereo spread I usually go to PA Stereomaker, or the Soundtoys Microshift. Or if I just want to widen the existing stereo image, then Waves S1 Imager works well, sometimes.
I cannot say thank you enough. Those were really eye opening advices. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿. As a new artist I'm always happy to know the do's and don't. Feeling serious about taking this to another level and not make mistakes.
Hey Fulvio, yes, still a problem for me as well, now that I'm doing youtube videos. Hard to just say "it's good enough for now". BTW, nice videos on your channel. 🎸
Big fan of your work Sir , will be great if Mansi can have the opportunity to work with you on vocalist , we have our home studio where we can record the vocals . Can provide all details if you feel there is an opportunity, Thank you !! Lot of learning from your videos , cheers
sir, Congratulations for all that incredible info, is the music business that I was studying for 3-4 years until to learn and practice them. but, I get one question out of them, How an artists should make money and pay for their recordings-mixing and mastering? Through a 9-5 job(anything or teaching music)? or playing live at gigs performing cover songs? Others, can do it through playing live at streets collecting donations. . . what do you think about it? and what do you suggest that is the best possible way?
That has always been the big question. :) And I think the answer is whatever is right for you, may not be right for another person. And everyone that I know in the music industry that has had any success has a completely different story then everyone else. There is no standard career path in this industry. Good luck, and continue to learn as much as you can and hopefully you'll keep taking positive steps upwards.
It's hard to build any momentum with only a song a year! You also run the risk of overshooting it. Meaning it might have been better before the last 2 months of tweaks. (but maybe not :)
