[@haliesmith6163]

Very nice sounds!

[@TemporaryDrag]

I love what you said around 25:00 and it’s something more music makers need to hear or re-remember…arrangement is key and being intentional with how you write makes your mixing job so much easier. Track sounds awesome, love the vids dude!

[@prodbrody2921]

Means so much! Yeah it’s easy to get lost in the sauce haha it’s good to zoom out to the big picture and remember that. Thank you!

You ever mess around with Ugritone drums before? Just wondering since you're jammin the death metal kit LOL this mix sounds huge!!

So happy I found your channel. I’m an acoustic fingerstyle guitar player that recently started learning to play electric. I’m going to be purchasing a Mac 🖥️ mini M4 soon. I’m curious with your heavy workflow. What are the specs of your current computer? and What specs Ram/Processor wise would you get if your were upgrading ? I’m hoping to write songs with a similar level of plug ins/ virtual instruments. My initial thought was to get a base mac mini M4 and upgrade to 24gb of Ram and 512gb storage. Any of your thoughts would be appreciated as your use case would be applicable to my own. Also I plan on running Logic Pro as my DAW. I cut my teeth with Garage Band and it’s the DAW I have the most experience with.

awesome vid like always that mix is so clean and the song is really fire i see u got a UA interface, for the bass do u have some extra plugin in the console or it goes straight into logic ?

[@prodbrody2921]

@@morenrgy thank you!! No plugin on the DI - on the Marshall amps input I’m using a cab sim in UA tho. One of the suhr amps, I turned off the amp head and am running thru an impulse of a Marshall 1960a 412

@@prodbrody2921 when you multi out your drums do you gain stage them from the plugin you know when you leave it at 0 they clip as a stereo track. I gain stage mine by either turning down the master fader in ez drummer or the mixer window. what do you gain stage your mix buses at on average

[@prodbrody2921]

@@GeneoVanEngers usually I’m multi-out-ing my drums to tweak without restarting. So I’ll leave it as I had it in ezdrummer so I’m picking up where I left off in logics mixer. It can vary depending on what I’m trying to do though. I watch my gain staging between plugins but I’m not super strict with myself on gainstaging the tracks as a whole. I just try to balance and make sure I’m hitting my master around the dB range I want

[@GeneoVanEngers]

@@prodbrody2921 I get all that. but you don't gain stage your instrument buses I aim for -6 on my master bus.

[@prodbrody2921]

@@GeneoVanEngers yeah I use a gain plugin at the start of my master to adjust to around -6 before hitting my chain if I gotta. Sometimes I’ll fix it before the master but in a session like this working with someone in the room I’m tryna move fast

I notice you always work at 44.1 khz, is there a reason you do that instead of 48 khz or 96 khz?

[@prodbrody2921]

@@JamesSmith-sh3xz mostly computer power - there’s not an audible difference between 44.1 and 48 imo and I push my computer to its limit haha so 44.1 is what I use unless a client requests different. 96 is totally unnecessary in songwriting too, really only needed if you’re doing some super high fidelity documenting audio work
