this song's mixing and mastering breakdown

I bet with THAT easel he could draw a spaceship!

Like the one he came from.

if you pledge $1000 to PBS tonight you can have an easel of your own as your free gift. Thata and a tote bag of course.

...This Friday I am going to buy a Rap guitar...

Grab one from the 80's so you get those hella chunchy beats.

Has it got to be black?

I recall marginal and minimal success from whites. Shouldn't rule out Mexican.

yea, I got it. I was just asking...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEQ1PfI0blc jam session, the language is in telugu btw.

needs work, keep practicing together.... build soe chops and confidence. Talk more when Ig et back from vacation if you want.

are you keys or guitar??? keys?

I play both, but I have more experience in keys. I use guitar while singing. Btw, I'm the one singing

Yep, keep at it- great you've got people to jam with. Work on pitch a bit- I'm no vocalist- sure I've sung plenty but always deadpan cuz that's all I can pull of but if I was producing this? I'd want ya to to work on those vocals for sure. I'd recomend doing some vocal warm ups every day and definately before every session/practice. Loads of tutorials and such on YouTube and on the internet in general.

Great to hear you got what ya need man!

thanks xaqary, that was at the church btw. They are kind enough to let us practice with the instruments. Yea I should improve my vocals. I'll do it. The instruments I have is an acoustic guitar yamaha F310 and M-Audio Keystation 61.

Anytime. My Wife is a properly trained vocalist & she's really sharpened my ears in that reguard. She got me doing the vocal warm ups (that just sound absolutely silly until you hear the results) back in the day. My vocals still suck but they get markedly better every time I do warm ups before hand/regularly.

Glad it was well recived I didn't wanna sound like I was panning ya.

my mom always keeps telling me that I must improve my vocals...

warm up, even before practice... there are pelnty of internet resources with proven pop/rock warmups.... even if you don't feel they imrove your performance they will limber up those vocal chords so you don't strain them -- I'm trying to remember the name of the coach who amde the CD I use with singers and its escaping me. I burned a copy from a buddy and totally forget the name of the guy right now and I am not home to look. "Gug, gug gug and all that. Loosens your face muscles up too so you can enunciate well and not sound like a slurry Radiohead wannabe LOL

you could defintiely stand to think more about your guitar playing...e vne if you don't wanna elarn any andanced technique, there's a world of thigns you cna do that leave more room for the other musicians, contriute groove and support the vocal. As the vocalist it should be really obvious to you what to do on the vocal support front, but being one with the rest of the rhythm section is really a product of listening to great rhythm sections like the Fame studios house band behind Aretha or Motown and Stax productions. In any idiom outside of the hard rock world less is usually more in rhythm guitar, man. Hell,e ven look at a tom petty song some time. Don't play mroe than you have to, if that much... try thinking of your guitar as a drum soemtimes or maybe the wound strings as left hand and plains as right hand on piano. Syncopate a lil more. Although Indian classical is pretty drone oriented so, maybe I am smack talking ehre. but you cuys sound like you are looking to be way clsoer to western music with telagu lyrics

yea, we like western music music more than indian classical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDvKx4-GhT0 << I subscribed to her channel long back but didn't follow the execises though. Now I will follow them...Yea I need to learn guitar more. I acutally didn't go to any keyboard or guitar class. I only learned to play some songs on keyboard, and the basic notes in music theory in school when I was in 7th grade. That's it. The rest is my effort.

Cover study the masters. James droped a great list I've yet to stop learning from/and inspired by and doubt I ever will.

What's that kick ass documentary? THE WRECKING CREW! Go watch it, you'll love it or I'll buy you a damn copy of Ableton or FL. I might just go watch it again too...in that universe where I have "spare time".

What's the name of that Stax one?

Oooo, and I Dream Of Wires...and Tom Dowd the Language Of Music...

lol...yea I'll watch the Wrecking crew now...
