Selected excerpts
I've always worked in some studios here and there and I really love just creating music. I wanted a space to do that myself and to help others create.
We've always been in weird spaces, kitchens, and bedrooms, just rooms that aren't really meant for recording.
So kind of on the ground, you've got multiple speakers around you. You've got up to nine, actually.
The great thing about their software is it walks you through every step; there's like, 'do this,' and then now you can do this and it has readouts and stuff.
The majority of tracking along everybody, that was kind of the way it was done.
Even in the studio, it's kind of like, 'Oh yeah, he's just the unsung guy that nobody's really gonna know,' unless they become famous.
It's, it's okay. This is how I make a painting. I'm taking the drum kit and I'm making some kind of sonic palette out of that.
