Behind the scenes of making Paul The Trombonists album

I am wishing you a healthy and happy new year! I am excited to announce the release of my new album today, a homage to the trombone players and the acoustic music that has influenced me over the years.
This album was a true labor of love, recorded entirely remotely during the pandemic and mixed and mastered by the award-winning engineer Stephan Oberhoff. If you're a fan of Quincy Jones, you may be familiar with Stephan's work - he recently produced an album with him.
I wanted to release the album on New Year's Day so everyone can start the year off with good energy. A lot of love went into this project, and I hope it brings joy to your ears.
The album is free on Spotify, and I'd like to invite you to listen. ‘

As an experiment, I'm curious to see what happens when listeners like/add the album to their Spotify playlist. Last year, I released a single on Spotify and invited my email list to add it to their playlist. That single ended up getting 20 times the streams last year than my other singles, leading me to believe that there may be something to the idea that the Spotify algorithm promotes music that is favorited added to playlists.
So, if you have a moment, please head to Spotify and add my album to your playlist. I'll be sharing the results and, if it is successful, I'll be spreading the word to other musicians how to do this so they can get their music out there more effectively.

Wishing you a happy and musical new year,
Warm regards,
Paul The Trombonist
P.S. If you don't have spotify, it is available on itunes

Nice one

Great album. I discovered Band in a Box about a year or so ago. Great tool to create jazz backing tracks. I've used it for several recordings I've made. Because it's not programmed midi it does help to inspire the trombone and other added parts.

Thanks for listening! Awesome

Really interesting discussion! I enjoyed Stefan's description of the analog signal path and how he tried to emulate it digitally with plugins!

[@skabonestanmiddleton9937]

And congrats on the release!

@@skabonestanmiddleton9937 thank you 🙏 there is a really cool video of him going over our session file on his channel. I put a link to it as a card that pops up when he brings it up. I think it’s around the 12 minute mark

Lol, I tend to get lost when engineers try to show me what they're doing in the digital domain! But I could conceptualize his description of the analog signal path. Although I still think that just the act of taking vibrations we make, converting them to electrical impulses, and eventually back into vibrations again is absolute magic!

What do you think of Cleveland Trombones? It's what my school typically uses unless you bring your own instrument.
