Recent Resident Gyms
- OFFICE HOURS: Arrangement and mix notes for finalizing David's mix. Beat construction and Logic Pro workflow/key commands for Daniel
- OFFICE HOURS: We listened to David's updated mix and Wes's updated mix
- INSTRUMENT-GYM: During this gym we discussed ways to mimic instruments in the productions that we like and/or create with our voices. This leads to us finding ways to involve the voice in our songwriting rather than "sit" it on top of a groove or production. Tucker shared a production that he has been working on and we were able to use that for our exercises. We sang the bassline, the drums, and guitar as best as we could with our voices. that way, when we go to topline or simply learn how to sing more rhythmically, we are really integrating the music that is happening around us - thus bringing the music together with our voice.
- OFFICE HOURS: Guitar recording: pedals, DI and latency. A new resident composition in Phrygian dominant? Interface upgrade recommendations
- THEORY-GYM: Soundgarden, "Fell On Black Days" - staggered meter and borrowed chords
- PRODUCTION-GYM: We listened to smashing pumpkins tonight tonight
- THEORY-GYM: Went though a song by Melt that Standish brought in 👍
- OFFICE HOURS: Assisted Josephine with choosing and configuring a subwoofer. Mix feedback: rather than taming bass, sometimes we are missing an element in the high end
- OFFICE HOURS: Discussed monitoring and levels. Direct monitoring, headroom vs. gain, using compression for vocalist while recording, and getting headphone levels setup.
