To see out the year I'm joined by two snoring dogs and a bottle of wine, and I've got some presents for you! You didn't think there'd be a useful podcast on xmas day, did you?
The role of a producer, pre-production, getting ready for the studio and how to find a killer guitar tone. We’re going to touch on some secrets for recording bass, alternative ideas for recording drums, and you’ll get a tip about some awesome drum software. Also, we go into creating a conducive atmosphere in the studio, advice on how to stay relaxed while recording, and how to translate your live energy into your recording.
This week Ruth and I have a few drinks and discuss getting ready for gigs. We talk about rehearsal, set-lists, gear, clothing, punctuality, working the room and getting drunk. You’ll hear appearances from two French Bulldogs and a herd of cows, and if you watch on YouTube you get to watch the sunset with us! Check the podcast description for a FREE ‘Gig Prep’ checklist!
Eric shares why Rosetta choose to remain independent, how they operate, and the pros & cons of DIY. He talks about the value of a loyal fan base, how they organise and fund their tours, and the value of being unique.
Paul shares how he got started in music and radio, and why he’s a supporter of unsigned talent. He talks about forming Devilskin and their rise to fame, why they started their own label, and the advantages of management, and how to achieve success.
What are subcultures? What makes us identify with them? And why finding and immersing yourself in your scene can benefit you and your music. We discuss identity, community, stereotypes, bogans and heavy metal.
Finding likeminded people, practise rooms, the gear you need to start, and the vibes you need to continue.
Every musician has had them (or will have them!), and they can be some of the best stories we have. So let’s share in the pain and misery, and laugh it all away! This week there’s blood, there’s shit, there’s exploding equipment, humiliation, record label talent scouts and car breakdowns. There’s drink spiking and there’s adult diapers. It’s going to get messy.
Emma shares how she started playing music, and how she broke out of obscurity with her band Decades. She talks about songwriting, pre-production, working with a manager, and releasing an album with a major record label.
We discuss the different roles of playing in a group, how to deal with egos and why self awareness is essential to collaboration. We also touch on creative control and royalties.
We discuss the importance of goals, how to set them and follow through, and how your dreams dictate the path of your life. How to achieve success, and how to deal with failure.
This week we’re talking about mastering. What is it? Why do we need it? And can you do it yourself? We’re delving into the world of audiophile wizardry to uncover everything you need to know about preparing your tracks for release, and a whole lot more.
Your inner circle, your scene and your niche. What are these things and why are they essential to grow your fan base and spread your music? I share some hard truths about failure, success and...fishing.
This week’s episode is about sharing and influence from the perspective of your audience; how they find you, how they hear you, how they absorb your message, and most importantly; how they spread your music. Why recommendations are the most important, effective way to spread your music, and where your audience gets their recommendations from. Authenticity, and the importance of having a genre and a niche.
The essential equipment you need to start recording yourself and making music at home. Whether you’re looking for the right software to make beats or electronic music, or you want to know how to record yourself and your instrument - this is what you need to start.
