PRODUCTION THAT CONNECTS WITH THE EMOTION OF A SONG
This song is a real journey. A great piece of songwriting that was a collaborative journey to create. I was sent an old demo recording. From this I built a new, more cohesive and solid instrumental and then the vocals were recorded by @_nee_nee_no_no_ in The Netherlands. Then after I received these, I adjusted things and re-recorded some layers so it all felt like a band playing together. Most parts were recorded in one take. Can’t wait for it to be out there! It’s called Red by Nee Nee No No.

GUITAR MIXING TECHNIQUE – REVERB A TONE SHAPING TOOL
So it turns out you can shape the tone of an instrument in a mix – in this case electric guitars – by processing the reverb. Room reverb is one of my favourite things to use in a mix to unify it and create a sense of depth and realness. This technique was partly inspired by the band The Walkmen who’s guitar sound is heavily dosed in bright reverb. Let me know if you have any feedback or ideas about how to use reverb as a tone shaping tool.

YOU’RE DOING YOUR CLAPS WRONG
SIMPLE WAY TO BIGGER GUITARS
When double tracking guitars, if you use two different guitars, pickups, amps, cabs, mics – basically a different guitar tone – you will get a bigger final sound compared with just using the same sound twice.
