I had the issue that he talks about living from music. I'm a guitar teacher and now I'm starting to produce. At the beginning all was a game, I didn't feel that I was working. But with time I did start having students that don't have passion, that don't put interest, and a few amazing students, that put interest. This is where a lot of teachers frustrate. The thing is that in every job you have, you will have things that you enjoy and things that you will not enjoy. That's normal and people accept it for normal jobs. But when it comes to working on your passion, people have unrealistic expectations that this has to be a wonderfull experience where everything will be ok all the time. If you talk to normal people they will tell you that they don't want to go to work every Monday and that's normal. If you work on your passion you will have moments where you don't want to work as well. I think that the worse inconvenient about living from music, is just not having so much time for normal life.

I wonder if Submission Audio's new Flatline clipper would be worthwhile for you to check out, Jens.

[@simonemularoni8054]

bravo Federico! bella intervista, soprattutto sul discorso di essere "cotti" e di come mantenere la passione dopo tanti anni! :)

[@FedericoAscariAudio]

grande Simone, grazie! Sono contento che nella seconda metà abbia parlato di cose più personali come l'approccio al lavoro, di cui spesso si sentono solo i lati positivi!

[@simonemularoni8054]

@@FedericoAscariAudio si esatto! dopo quasi 20 anni di studio mi ci ritrovo in un sacco di cose che dice!

[@demondrive147]

... going with two different players and different setups ... is interesting. I thought it would be cool if you can reamp first pair of performances through the same setup and second pair through completely different. This way the rithm gtrs stereo image would sound cohesive (?) I guess, if they have some tembres in common. Like a sunburst paint effect, but two sides have different colours with a smooth transition in the middle. The only thing I tryed so far is trying splitcoil sound on left guitar and full humbucker on the right. Sounds richer!

[@FedericoAscariAudio]

Never tried that approach but I guess you could do that! As long as the signals are different on the left and right channel, the stereo field will seem wider because they're less correlated. However, I'm not a fan of hearing obviously different tones on the two sides, so I personally do small changes only (or sometimes none, and compensate by creating space in the other tracks with careful EQ moves). I'll have to try more of this in the future tho!

[@Fred.A.Dubeau]

year after year, Jens looks like he’s becoming Zakk Wylde...

[@Bogren.Digital]

This is not even my final form.

[@hillbillyheadspace]

It's more that for the most part the idea of the album as a top to bottom work of art is nearly dead... Especially for artists just starting out and building a brand... If you don't have new content every week people are going to lose interest... Which is why I set my goal at 52 songs in 52 weeks... Which is admittedly much easier for my instrumental electronic music than for my metal work... Mainly because I can't sing or write good lyrics in a quick and easily repeatable manner...

[@FedericoAscariAudio]

52 songs in 52 weeks is a great way to challenge yourself, you're going to learn a lot if you stick to it. Good luck!

[@hillbillyheadspace]

@@FedericoAscariAudio it definitely is, I went in to this a year ago with zero knowledge using a DAW or doing any kind of mixing, just mediocre guitar skills, I also taught myself lead guitar in the same time period... It's been a blast, and hopefully I'm just getting started

[@lennyblandino]

I share a similar idea with electro music, keep rockin man!
