    Episode show notes:

    Lucas McKinnon is an artist, multi-instrumentalist, session drummer, record producer, owner of Silverside Sound (a beautiful recording studio) and inviting him to the podcast was long overdue!

    So let's talk session drums (and all things drum production, actually)!

    If you got our Mixes Unpacked - Vol. 2 course, you've seen Malcom dissect his mix of "Dark Ice" by Skov. 

    The drums on that song, which many of you loved, have been played and recorded by Lucas McKinnon.

     

    So we wanted to talk to Lucas about what goes into recording drums remotely for other artists. 

    What are the challenges, how do you collaborate effectively, how do you make sure to get the vibe right and understand the artist's vision? Those were some of the questions on our minds.

     

    Also things like setting up, choosing the right setup and keeping the drums in good shape for every session.  

    Because, let's be honest, your typical remote drummer that you hire online is likely to leave the same drum skins on the kit forever, always use the same setup and not really put serious effort into creating and capturing the perfect tones for your song. From scratch. Every single time. Which is exactly what Lucas does. And how it should be done.

    And his job doesn't end there. Sure, you can just get the raw multitracks and drag them into your session. But depending on what the project needs, people like Lucas can edit or even mix the drums in the context of the song, so you can get a finished product, even if you're not an engineer but a writer and musician.

     

    Specialized, professional drummers and engineers like Lucas McKinnon or our very own "Dr. Drums" Thomas Krottenthaler bring a level of expertise to every project that is truly invaluable. 

    They solve the biggest problems DIY-producers and musicians have: Drum production and getting the groove right. This is by far the hardest thing to do on your own, especially if you're not experienced and don't have a great room to do it.

     

    Malcom and Lucas have collaborated on many records over the years and have a professional relationship and friendship that is the perfect foundation for an inspiring and insightful conversation like this.
      

    Let's go!

    Episode show notes:

    And this time, it's not about pre-production or working on your songs and arrangements. It's about how to prepare yourself, physically and mentally, for the recording session. How to practice, so you can make the most out of your studio time and deliver what is needed to make a great record.

    Practice to a click track.

    Malcom starts by emphasizing the importance of practicing with a click track, both as a band and individually. And how practicing to a click enables you to record great takes, even if you end up tracking without a click. 

    But tempo and meter are not everything. There is more that needs to be practiced and prepared for the recording session.

    The interaction within the band is super important. When playing as a band, it's essential to pay attention to each other's mistakes and gently address them. 

    Recording scratch tracks during pre-production rehearsals can help identify issues that need to be resolved before recording. 

    Now that the band can play it all well together and everybody knows what they're doing, you need to practice your individual parts on your own, without other instruments and record them to a click track. Just for practice. 

    This allows you to notice small mistakes and analyze your performance with the help of a DAW.  

    It's crucial to pay attention to dynamics, tone, overall feel and cleanliness when practicing and recording.

    At this stage, get ready to try some cool, unique tricks that Malcom is suggesting on the episode. 😎

    And lastly, be prepared to leave your ego at the door if you want the best possible result. 

    Proper studio preparation, rehearsal and problem-solving ahead of time can prevent roadblocks during recording.

    So listen to this episode and adopt these effective practicing techniques to become world-class studio musicians. 

     

    Let's go!

    Jesse Harris (Singer, Songwriter, Producer)

    Jesse Harris (Singer, Songwriter, Producer)

    Welcome to Roadcase!!  We're simply delighted to have Jesse Harris on the show for this week's episode.  Jesse is the famed songwriter responsible for the global sensation "Don't Know Why," sung by Norah Jones, which won multiple Grammys back in 2003.  Jesse is a prolific songwriter and composer, and his most recent album, Silver Balloon, which he co-produced with his good friend, Kenny Wolleson, is undeniably one of the best works of his storied career. But despite his early songwriting mega-success, Jesse is a tireless and methodical worker who lives by the motto "the only ritual I have is the act of working on something." His winning attitude, rooted in daily life-affirming habits and the belief that one can successfully battle the negative voices in one's head that scream "you cannot do that," by positive action and shouting back "Yes, I Can!!" This chat with Jesse is equal parts informative and enlightening.  So climb aboard the Roadcase bus for this special interview with songwriter and producer Jesse Harris. It's gonna be a great ride!!

    Should You Buy Our New Mixing Course "Mixes Unpacked"? (Your Questions, Answered!)

    Should You Buy Our New Mixing Course "Mixes Unpacked"? (Your Questions, Answered!)

    Hello friends and loyal listeners! 

    As you hopefully know, this week, we've launched our first ever mixing course, Mixes Unpacked.

    It will be available at an absolute no-brainer of a price during our early-bird offer (goes away March 30th). 

    We have zero doubt that this is gonna get you results, BUT since we've opened the doors, we got a couple of questions from people who want to make sure this course is a good fit for them (or not). So we'll do my best to answer them right now.

    Can we buy this as a band and share the costs between the band members?

    Yes of course! The program (and everything we do) is designed for self-recording artists and bands! Our goal is not to squeeze as much money as possible out of every single person, but to help as many bands/artists, as possible. 

    However, if you buy as a band, you'll still get one account and only that one account can access the program. But you can consume the content together and you can bring your bandmates to the Q&A session. We won't kick anyone out for doing that and we just trust you that you will only share it with your bandmates and not anyone else. 

    So, sure, be smart about that. If you split the costs between all the band members, each of you will pay less for this course than you've probably spent on coffee or pizza last week.

    ---

    I'm busy and it's gonna be a while until I record or mix again. Should I still join now?

    Well that's up to you. Just know that prices will go up next week and we might even close the doors entirely for a while after that.

    You will need some time anyway to go trough all the material, prepare and implement everything and you have lifetime access, including future updates or additions. 

    Also, the live Q&A session will be recorded, so you don't have to be there if you can't make it. You can leave questions in advance, so we can answer them and even if you don't, you'll get insane value out of the replay and our answers to all the other questions.

    So you can go through it at your own pace and there's no risk if you decide to jump on the opportunity right now.

    ---

    How much time do I need to set aside for this?

    You can go through the video course at your own pace. The Q&A is the only scheduled thing, but there's going to be a replay. How long the Q&A takes, depends on how many questions we get. 

    Again, if you can't participate live, don't worry. You can submit questions in advance and watch the replay of the meetup later. 

    There's a lot that we show you in this course and it's pretty dense, so it will take you at least a few days until you've watched everything and took notes and then it's up to you to practice and implement everything. 

    Whether you do it in real time, or binge through and then implement step-by-step is up to you. However you end up doing it - In the end you will make better records. Period. 

    ---

    There is some more questions we answered, but you'll have to listen to the episode to hear them!

    ---

    Hopefully these answers help you determine if Mixes Unpacked is the right fit for you.

    ​​You can get all the details (including what sweet bonuses you get) right here.

    And remember you can try out the program risk free for 30 days to make SURE you love it and that it's the right course for you.

    See you on the inside!

    -Benedikt & Malcom

    P.S. Join before March 30th and lock in a lower rate than everyone else will pay in the future.

    Recording at Home VS in the Studio! Why You Should Be Doing Both

    Recording at Home VS in the Studio! Why You Should Be Doing Both

    Should I record at home? Or should I be hitting up a pro studio? For a lot of us this is one of those burning questions. We hear of a lot of artists getting great sounding recordings from home, we know the gear is relatively cheap, and it's fun! 
    I am certainly not against home studios, and recording from home, I think there is absolutely an opportunity for that! and sometimes it makes good sense to record from home! I also know the benefits of studio recording and what that can bring to your sound. So this is episode is a good old comparison.

    I dive into
    - When you should record from home
    - The limitations of recording from home
    - What the studio can offer
    - Some hybrid methods to do both and save a ton of money!

    Hope you enjoy!

    MADIVA 310 - Top Tips on Voice Acting in the Studio, and Live Recording in front of an audience - with Layla Katib

    Hello All!

    WELCOME TO THE MADIVA EP WHERE LAYLA TALKS ALL THINGS LIVE RECORDING IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE  AND STUDIO RECORDING ADVENTURES!

    What a crazy journey this audio has had - it was recorded last year when things were...so different...and I felt like it was a therapeutic thing to release right now, to reminisce about the live shows nostalgia with Layla Katib, and also to incite you to revisit or make your inaugural listen to one of THE BEST INDIE FICTION SHOWS to come out of the UK in the last few years - VICTORIOCITY (links below).

    Layla Katib is one of the loveliest, and talented of folks (hire her, employ her, give her ALLA DA JOBS PEOPLES!) and spoke to me about her Victoriocity journey from audition to live shows and studio recording. There's some great tips here for when we can all revel in the fun and atmosphere of live shows  (WE WILL AGAIN, I KNOW IT) and I hope it compels you to start to plan your own! I for one enjoyed muchly watching, and being in some live shows - the Dashingly Quirky event of 2019 (as yet unreleased) with Layla herself being OUTSTANDING! (Alongside Karim Kronfli, James Oliva, Fiona Thraille, Maxamillion John and mmmoooore! So yes, this interview was glorious fun, and has not been released until now because the audio quality took a while to get to this....so...I have a small victory in that you can hear it, but hey, the quality may occasionally go wibbly woooo.

    Thank you so much for listening and to my amazing Patreon supporters, who spur me on ALLLLLL THE TIME to keep making this groovy thang. If you would like to help me decide what else to do for 2021, please add your pennorth to this Quirky Voices 20 second survey! Cheers.
