Well, I just went for it and published this track on Bandcamp. May revisit artwork at some point, but this will do for now! If anyone happens to listen, I very much hope you enjoy the song :D danjohnsonmusic.bandcamp.com…

Perhaps if we were all more informed about these things, it’d be easier to have basic discussions about them for a start! At the moment it seems like many people shouting past each other because we don’t all actually understand exactly what we’re talking about.

And hey, I’m saying this as a person who’s only really started to look at and understand some of this stuff more recently in my own life. I’ve always had political views, but I didn’t necessarily know where those views would place me on the political spectrum.

Ok, I think I might have to draw the line at Pink Pony Club. Lol

Haven’t given any attention to my own music for the last couple of weeks or so now. Wanted to try out the vocals for Invisible Man at some point. Also should get back to doing a bit of mixing. Don’t want to lose the thread with all of that.

May have a couple of hours this afternoon to do something. It would probably be good to have a break from thinking about these covers for a day or two!

Just home from second practice with the cover band. Gig is next Saturday night, and we’re going to get together next Friday night for a last (although only third for me!) practice sesh before it. Quite enjoying it so far! It’s good fun to just be a guitar player…

Obviously haven’t been in this situ for years until earlier this year with the AOI band that got together (and has half fallen apart already!), but I haven’t really ever been just a guitar player in any band situation I’ve been in. It’s nice not to have to worry about singing!

Fecking genius!! 😂😂😂
This man just took the same plastic recorder that used to sound like a dying goose in elementary school and casually started shredding Sultans of Swing on it. Eyes half-closed, fully committed, fingers flying like he actually practiced this instead of just surviving Hot Cross Buns. Somewhere a music teacher is watching this and having an existential crisis. The recorder has seen things. It will never be the same.

I’ve found this lady Sara Carter’s YouTube vids on mixing to be very helpful recently. Here she gives 3 ways to bring out vocals in a chorus that are masked by the guitars. 1) turn vocals up 2) eq high mids out of guitars 3) turn guitars down m.youtube.com/watch?v=nSS4R2…

It’s a good lesson. Applying eq will affect the tone/overall sound of whatever we put it on. Using volume won’t. Sometimes the simplest and easiest solution is the best solution.

And sometimes it’s not turning stuff up (like the vocals in this vid), but turning other things down (guitars in vid) to make space for whatever it is we need to make space for.
