Do you have the project template available anywhere? Would love to see how you're mixing everything!

[@thisnewlightmusic]

Ahh not sure how I would give that to you, but everything I set up I talked about in the vid ☺️

[@inretrograde11]

Who made the vocal mic?

[@thisnewlightmusic]

Really good question! I’m pretty sure it’s an alctron mic but not 100% hey!

[@Ozus03]

Why are your faders so low? I’d like to know the reason :0

[@thisnewlightmusic]

hey @Ozus03! Ahh, I'm not 100% sure.. I'm normally keen to make sure there's no clipping in any tracks so maybe I just run them lower than normal? I use a lot of buses to group instruments, but yeah every instrument will be recorded in at different volumes and I guess I'm just trying to keep everything balanced as best as I can. Probably not a conscious thing :) I don't really see myself as a "producer" but just trying to grow in these skills ! How do you approach gain staging and faders etc?

[@PaintHim]

why do u have 2 camera angles

[@thisnewlightmusic]

Good question! I think I just wanted to do it so the long screen recording didn’t get boring.. also it’s hard to crop both the screen recording and me talking into the normal screen ratio without having heaps of black space ! Did it look alright?

[@Oibiee]

Did you play an actual banjo?

[@thisnewlightmusic]

Yeah I did! I only bought a banjo right at the end of the production process , but still snuck it in just in time!
