Record a Song From Scratch in a Bedroom Studio 

"And even a cajon" *zooms in on a djembe*

I feel people don't mention it enough on your videos but you are a very good singer and that's an awesome voice texture! I like your song "The Story" the best up till now! I absolutely love the arrangement and the vocal harmonies on that song!

AHHHH I've tried sooo many things to get vocal recordings to sound good and you did it so inexpensively. HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?! Please I'll LITERALLY give you $3000 for the answer!!

Wasn’t expecting that voice. Keep up the great content man!

um what?....... dude I'm fully impressed!!! it's obvious you know what your doing but I really wasn't expecting something that great! wow....

I take thee as my teacher. Amen. This is soooooo goood

I'm impressed. I've got all the gear, I built a small studio in my bedroom using second hand eco office partitions, then I pinned acoustic sound wedges all over, I even made a roof out of the eco partitions, plus I use a rodes NT1as well as Rode nt3 condensor mics. Using my macbook Pro / DAW Cubase 13 pro via my Beringer UMC 204HD Audio Interface. The sound through my headphones is amazing, I live under a flight path and I don't hear a thing outside. The issue is I don't have a plan of attack, and after watching this video I realise I need to do my home work first and create a plan which kind of derrrr moment for me, give myself an upper cut, so anyway now that's the plan. Great song / vocals btw Joe good on you mate.

I actually downloaded this on Apple Music a week ago ...n today is my first time seeing this video. Great work!

If life is one big disapointment then maybe im doing this this thing right. Wow. What a poetry!!!

Glad I saw this video first before the actual Bedroom Setup. I think that makes it more effective in my opinion.

Joe, your voice is #magical man. Actually someone recommended your songs, a couple of months ago, and I use to listen your songs daily. Like the flow of your voice. Lots of 🤎 from India, keep it up

OK, can't finish this video without saying it too: what a voice, Joe! Nice work!

Creativity is king, and you got it.

I’m Glad I Found this Channel. Thanks Joe!

After being in a slump for more than a month, this sir is inspiring! Thank you!

This version of "Fighter captures the mood of the song much better than the fully produced track. A fantastic song!

Joe, I thoroughly enjoy you and your music. You are so very talented. Thank you for sharing all your great work and advice!

Bro, you da man! I can see this track as soundtrack in a movie.

I came here to listen to a different version of fighter and it was well worth it. What a great song, seriously mate, fantastic!

High-quality song and vocal.

No end to the talent of this man "The Great Joe Gilder" Fantastic song. Very catchy words.

It may seem strange, but when I‘m listening to this song I imagine it as an opening song for some awesome cartoon series from the 90s. Love it so much

Pure Inspiration, Joe. I've dusted off the ol' acoustic and scaled down my ridiculous studio to start creating again. Your art has been one of the catalysts. thank you.

Hi Joe, I definitely prefer this bedroom version to the "studio" version! It's now part of my playlist.

Speed up the video and listen it at 1.25 speed. It sounds awsome! Good job Joe!

This sounded AWESOME.

Wayne Rooney making music hahah !!! great job

wow, wasn't expecting that kind of voice!

OK..I am "Bleary -eyed" from watching your videos! Trying to absorb all I can for when I get my new Mac. Setting up my room, writing lyrics in bits and pieces..planning.. It all seems so far away. Your videos have been the pivotal focal point for the inspiration. Making me think I can actually do this!! This song just reinforced...and put my focal point into "afterburners". The timbre of your voice is stunning! I can't thank you enough for all your videos. Heads up..I will have a gazillion questions in the future once I get everything in place.. Best wishes and hope you are well.

It's a beautiful song 🎵

Excellent voice, excellent vid presentation! Thank you!

Amazing sir! I'm from Philippines and I'm just a begginer about recording. I really learned a lot about your videos. Although you recorded it from your home it sounds really good.

Excellent Joe... inspiring! You have great tone quality in your voice that I really like. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful song.

This is really really good. Good voice, good song...well constructed and imaginative. You have to fight even when you don't want to. Every day is a battle with wins and alot of losses. We keep marching!

Definitely dope!!!

Amazing, just amazing! Like always, you're the man Joe!

wOw that was very beautiful and amazing. Great work

It's always a pleasure and blessing to listening to tutorials. Keep up the content. Love the song. Awesome song arrangement, wasn't expecting that voice 🇻🇺❤️.

I do dig that song - a lot.

Damn!! Joe can sing. You should be a star!

Great tune man!

the claps fit the song really nicely... Sigur Ros always feature claps in a cool way!

Профессионал ,люблю творческих человеков. Надеюсь,скоро будут русские субтитры

4:55 - getting your gym workout going! Haha good stuff man

Man you deserve much larger audience.. awesome song, singing and mixing

Amazing song writing...... Beautiful....really.....You are very melodious song writer

Wow your voice is beautiful

I like that song a lot !

Love from Myanmar😍😍😍

Very nice...really simple, but still amazing what can be crafted out of purely diatonic chords, with some real talent mixed in!

Great song and singing bro! Thanks for sharing all your many talents.

I love this song!

such a beautiful song...one more time!

i'm a 14 years old Filipino, and I'm planning to arrange my bedroom room studio, like yours, but my problem is I don't have a mic like yours and a usb audio interface, Your song is awsome!!!

That was awesome Joe. A great vocal performance too!

Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. Great content!

Fantastic video....This has helped reignite the fire for me in my little home studio....thanks Joe. Great song by the way!

Wow!! Your passion for this song is amazing and it translates to the singing and performance

Great song, Joe!

Wow! Beautiful piece.

an impressive video Joe! Proving that above all else you have to have a fantastic song to start, which this is one of my favorites of yours. The more I hear that K47 the more I want one. The intimate, upfront and full sounding vocal is one thing that I feel I need to improve drastically in my mixes, but even more so I need to improve as a vocalist. Curious what your channel strip looked like in the mix for the vocals. Also the harmony and balance of the bg vocals were perfect. Biggest take away is the end result. Having just heard the final product most people would have no idea this was recorded in just an extra bedroom in your house with a usb interface. Superb job all the way around!

Great sir....😍😍😍

This is awesome, man! Great production and Huge voice!!!

You have a great voice man. Thanks for all the great vids Joe

Your voice is soooooo cool!

Great job bro ! Sounds awesome ! Nothing wrong with that !

Bonjour Bravo Great I am producing my first album from home Not easy but possible Thanks for the sharing A Music man from France

Great song, with soul!

sounds very good

Man that’s a nice song! great job!

Hi again But the end result is also a combination of mixing technics Such as panning , gain staging and so one Bravo

I love this so much. So freaking good!!!!

Such an amazing song!

Just discovered the channel and must be on the 15th video in 2 hours... brilliant advice, great tips and you make your demos sound like a pro studio. Thanks 🙏 if ever you don’t know what to do next, i’d love to have your take on eq and compression on bass on Beatles tracks (like rain), that really contributed to the Beatles sound in the mid 60s 👍👍👍

Great song

Damn that's a good song. Impressive performance Joe!

INCREDIBLE! I do also got a home studio, but you really KILLED IT! Can you make more videos like this?

I know a hit song when I hear it and Fighter is easily a Top 10 Billboard Smash!!!!!

Hey Joe you are a great musician! Thanks for the video.

Came for a tutorial, became a fan of a song.

Great song! I don't understand all of then because i speak spanish but i love it!!!

Great job! Loving the song and great job on the production =)

Fun fact : I listen to this everyday 😊

That was really good Joe. God Bless.

This is a really engaging song , great work.

Beautiful!

Thanks for the tips. Also, great sounding song!

Hey Joe. I just got SO6 and found your Presonus vids. Very helpful for a newbie such as myself. So I looked you up for your songs and found this. Great song and and great sound. I have two questions please: 1) From start to finish, how long did it take for you make the recording? I will consider you know all the right buttons to click. 2) Will you still make these helpful videos after you become a world famous superstar?😁

Great job Joe.

Inspiring! Thanks Joe.

Excellent
