We booked a day recording session. Which standard for this studio is 10 hours. We had time to load in and when factoring in a break for the team, we had about 9 or so hours to write and record ten songs. So a lot of things were done in one take, much of the lyrics were improvised and the song structures weren't always very fleshed out. But overall I think what we came up with is pretty great! There are some good songs and a lot of fun ones. From punk to folk, we pretty much needed to record whatever was the first thing to come to mind. Hope you enjoy the album!

He can relax about the worse unknowns when his concerns prove unwarranted. A common one is a rock band coming in all fired up and asking to have the loudest record ever. He also knows about how long set ups take, how long people of different skill levels tend to take for various aspects, and what people often get wrong about studio recording.

[@aheadatime]

I don't get the hate towards the engineer. He was so cool about it. Got him all excited, you could tell his 'eyeroll' vibe got melted away by all the fun he was having just a few minutes into the video. He was mouthing lyrics, laughing a ton, big smiles, telling them "it's catchy!!". This man was excited to be out of his comfort zone, probably had a blast making music so hapharzardly for a change, without any seriousness.

[@surike]

No one is hating on him, in fact it's quite the opposite

[@badass6300]

+Skip6235 Talented? You dismiss decades of dedicated practice and studying music, to just some bullshit concept such as talent? Talent is the excuse of the lazy and undedicated...

[@user-oo8oj1hl8k]

+IIIRattleHeadIII Well, yes and no. Attributing something to talent alone is BS, but some people are clearly more talented than others. I've been playing guitar for over 10 years and know a lot of other musicians, and there are a couple guys I know who just have something extra y'know. Like they just have a bottomless pit of ideas that somehow translate into their music in just seconds. And the same applies to many other things, like painting/drawing, sculpting, sports, maths etc. Some people just have a natural edge over others in some things, be it a more tactical mind in something like football or a knack for calculations. And in music it's important to have a good ear, which some people just don't have. Or in painting/drawing you need a good colour perception etc. Talent does exist, but talent alone doesn't take anyone anywhere without some hard work and learning.

[@badass6300]

+ᛞᛟᛟᛗᛁᚾ Well no... if you are doing something, a skill in which body size is not a factor, for longer periods of time than other and getting worse results, you are just practising and learning less efficiently than them. And the "I've been doing "X" for 10 years" means nothing, how long each day? 1 hour? 2 hours? 12 hours? a day every day without exception, holidays, your family passes away and so on, in the hospital, then I bet you'd get much better results. Dedication mate, dedication. And just sitting playing around is not practice, practice is when you are playing to improve. Now in sports like running and swimming and such sure, where genetics play a big part as your body proportions and your muscle balance are important, but apart from that, nada.

[@user-oo8oj1hl8k]

+IIIRattleHeadIII You're not getting the point at all, I'm not comparing those people to myself. I put that 10 years out there because that's a long ass time and I've met a lot of other musicians in that time. Some people just have a naturally better ear than others, some painters have a naturally better eye than others. And it's especially easy to notice when said people haven't had much training, but you're not going to ever experience that if you just sit around at home writing passive-aggressive youtube comments. (See what I did there? I think you did.) Some people are more creative than others, and there's scientific research spanning decades that backs that up, but I guess someone never studied psychology.

I wanted to point out, I’d worked with Rob Ruccia for many years at this point. Just wasn’t making these types of videos where he’d be on screen. So it’s not like we just threw this project at a random engineer. I knew he’d be up for it.
