This isn’t 2005 anymore, so why are we still treating the music industry the same?🤷‍♂️

It’s time for a mindset shift. Being an independent artist/band is entirely possible.

Sure, it’s not going to be all cupcakes and rainbows 🌈

But just like with anything you dream of, it’s going to take work.

What are your thoughts? What does your journey look like right now?

✏️What is editing and does your band really need it ⁉️

A lot of bands don't think about the editing stage of music production. I know that in my naivety, I jumped straight from recording to mixing. There is a stage inbetween there, and that is called editing.

This is probably the most unsexy part of music production, but arguably the most importantone of the most important.

So what is editing? Often times it Although it can be subjective, this is generally what editing consists of:
✅Fixing timing
✅Cutting out unneeded pieces of audio from one or more tracks
✅Vocal comping
✅Vocal tuning (not autotune)
✅Surgical Eq to remove resonances
etc...

Obviously, this isn't a comprehensive list, as each song, band, album is different.

Do you know how commerically produced bands are able to get such tight guitars and drums?

The answer is editing!

Now, I will say that there are plenty of extremely talented musicians out there that are able to achieve a tighreally tight with their playing, but even seasoned professionals can usually benefit from help some mild editing.

Next time you listen to your favorite metalcore or hard rock band, listen to how tight the band is. Originally you might have thought that it came from a mimixing.
, but the secret sauce is in editing.

Quick caveat...editing is no substitute for a great performance. When you record, you want to give it your all, which goes back to the post I made about "practicing practicing to a click track. Go back and read the one with the image that says "Practicing is Borinwg!."

You should go into the studio with the mindset of recording great tracks that practically mix themselves.

Record like there's no editing. Edit like there's no mixing. Mix like there's no mastering.

Changes your mindset, right?

No vocal booth❓ No problem‼️
👇Read on to figure out what this is👇

I’ve been working with an artist from New Mexico. I live in California and we’ve been collaborating remotely.

This is a picture she took of her vocal booth setup.

Power of the internet right?💻

Anyway she has had challenges getting her dry vocal takes to sound good, and so she came up with this awesome makeshift vocal booth.

I won’t get into the nerdy science behind it, but this is going to give her a clean and dry take👨‍🔬🧪

If you’re a band or artist looking to record some high quality vocals from home, this is the way to go!🎤

I’m always interested in knowing who records themselves and who goes to a studio. Which do you prefer?

I get it.🙋‍♂️

Practicicing is the very unsexy part of being a musician.

But you know what else is unsexy?

Showing up to a recording studio, not being able to play your parts, and not being able to play in time.🤢

Practicing to a click track is so important, because not only will it make you a better player, it'll also make the recording process so much simpler.

When it comes to writing your parts, make sure you write parts that you can actually play.

You will thank yourself! And your producer/engineer and other bandmates will thank you as well.

It's important to capture a great recording at the source and being a great musician is a huge part of that.

Practice daily for 30 minutes a day to metronome and trust me...you will begin to see results ⏰👍
