every video of yours is another boost in motivation telling me to keep making music. keep it up king

[@TrevBarnes]

Glad to hear it, keep on making great things!

[@starcisismusic]

Trev, thank you! Not only for creating these beautiful visual inspiration fuels but for laying your heart and personality out in your music. This song truly holds something special. Love.

[@TrevBarnes]

It really means the world for you to recognize that and share that. Thank you, truly

[@SaggySanchez]

I love watching your process! It’s so inspiring seeing you put this track together piece by piece

[@surfing3280]

The vibes are immaculate as always ✨

[@adaumus]

Your videos are the bridge I've needed to get back into recording. I'll check out your MIDI workshop, thanks!

[@matthewdodson136]

Amazing how big of a difference the mic placement made on the guitars! They sound great

[@TrevBarnes]

For sure! Thank you

[@iainthemusic]

[@enmbiusfantabbles3670]

the ambient sounds you picked are super cool

[@TrevBarnes]

Thanks!

[@vastbard9829]

always the best vibes

[@TrevBarnes]

You’re the best

[@shockthemonkey7046]

Nice - agree transition needs something - I’d also extend with an instrumental on the end and build the groove just a little more in the process

[@TrevBarnes]

Yup. Wait till you hear the final on the album

[@lightbl0om]

Always a good day when Trev drops a new video! Oh btw Trev, I threw you into my inspirations list for a college assignment I'm doing where I am working on my own song! :)

[@TrevBarnes]

that's awesome. I'd love to hear the assignment when it's done!

[@lightbl0om]

​@@TrevBarnes I'll be sure to send it your way when it's done! :D

[@lionelhernandez2828]

I NEED THE DIIIIISSC!

[@richie.messina]

keep it up homie

[@TrevBarnes]

Heck yeah

[@philipalmen5116]

Trev, always a pleasure! :) Sounds great and not at all demo-like.

[@TrevBarnes]

I originally didn’t set out for it to be a demo, but after listening to it I immediately thought of one big thing that will make it feel like a demo. You’re gonna have to wait for the album to see what I mean 😉

[@jackson.mp4]

it would be super cool to see you do some slightly heavier stuff sorta in the veins of fontaines d.c to switch up the vibes a bit. love these videos!

[@TrevBarnes]

For sure. This video series is for my original album so once that’s done ill get back into exploring more genres

[@jackson.mp4]

@ oh awesome! i wasn’t aware you were making an album lol i’ve been out of the loop. it sounds amazing so far im super excited

[@TrevBarnes]

@ no worries! I definitely have been itching to make things outside of the indie circle, maybe I’ll take a short break and just make something out of the blue. We shall see

[@rinduemusic]

Lovely vibe here bro!

[@TrevBarnes]

Thanks man!

[@timothy6966]

I love it. Very inspiring to see your process. What kind of microphone is that you used for the guitars? Recording acoustic guitars is the part about recording music I hate the most. if I move one inch while playing it screws up the dynamics.

[@TrevBarnes]

Thanks! It’s just an Audio Technica AT2020. I used to feel the same until I thought about older records and the vibes that come from small imperfections. I always think, “well, if Fleetwood Mac could do it so could I”

[@davidoliveri565]

Hey Trev. Song sounds great! As this is a demo version as stated in the video, do you plan on re-recording it for an official release or will you just mix it further and make small adjustments to the current project? Huge inspiration, as I am working with a similar bare bones home studio and working on an album as well. Thanks for the great content!

[@TrevBarnes]

Hey there! This will be released apart of the “Good Things Take Time” project I’m currently working on

[@davidoliveri565]

@ sounds good! Thanks!

[@MattyRocco]

Been watching you for a while and I only just now caught that you're in Jacksonville. I think we're about the same age I bet we have friends in common! Your videos are always so inspiring thanks for sharing.

[@TrevBarnes]

Oh heck yeah. I moved here in 2016 so I didn’t grow up here, but we def could know the same people. Small world

[@philipalmen5116]

❣

[@alllx49]

Hey Trev, you really should put some brass in there! ! right after the first chorus! Some trombone or something! Great song though!

[@TrevBarnes]

Not a bad thought. Id be curious with hiring a session musician for it

[@WDSCRNRAD]

Just found this channel today! Love it. Question? What plugins & effects do you use on your vocals?

[@TrevBarnes]

Hey there, I’m using Slates Virtual Mix Rack and their Space Echo. The vocals for this one are just the classic opto preset with a little more lows taken out and compression dialed back

[@ТоляГалактический]

Hello. Thank You. From Earth with alternative folk kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH3Vmqx7j999iJYsi=nKSMdNfr0wnjtEJN 🎸🌞

[@finnsbeats7183]

Yo! Amazing video! What’s the font in the “creating” in the beginning?

[@TrevBarnes]

It was hand written :)

[@finnsbeats7183]

@ ah makes sense. In procreate?

[@TrevBarnes]

@ yep!

[@finnsbeats7183]

@ dang what brush?

[@johnfox555]

about to start recording my own stuff. Got any tips on mixing and stuff?

[@TrevBarnes]

Focus leveling tracks before learning any plugin, 90% of mixing issues is due to imbalance.

[@JesseDuranMusic]

Subbed! Nice video!

[@TrevBarnes]

Appreciate you!

[@pranavghimire1483]
