Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>It was just a student project</p><p>but I can now say that my <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/BassGuitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BassGuitar</span></a> playing has been recorded at <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/BlackbirdStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackbirdStudio</span></a> in <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/Nashville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nashville</span></a> </p><p>and that isn't nothing</p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>A fun conversation starter with my wife for later today:</p><p>"So looking at this diagram, where do you want to record your vocals? This is kind of the default booth for vocalists if you're recording a full band, but this is the one Martina McBride and Wendy Moten prefer."</p><p>[Iso 3 and 'vocal iso' respectively]</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/Studio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Studio</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/Recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Recording</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/BlackbirdStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackbirdStudio</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>Turning in my session paperwork tonight upcoming <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/studio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>studio</span></a> tracking day. I'm picking microphones and assigning channels and building the <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProTools</span></a> session. We have to show planning docs so they know we know what we're doing (ha lolsob) and won't damage their gear. So I get to diagram out where everyone will be placed and where the mics will plug in and what outboard gear I'll use.</p><p>Kinda fun, but overwhelming options. Trying to keep it simple.</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/BlackbirdStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackbirdStudio</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>I'm not sure why I went with greyscale on this but I will experiment.</p><p>One of the things that John McBride (who owns/runs <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/BlackbirdStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackbirdStudio</span></a> in Nashville) likes to say is "You either rock or you suck." It's on their t-shirts.</p><p>I... don't actually much care for this. My own philosophy is more, "A little better every day." But this is my take on the idea.</p>
