Congratulations Joe on take over Recording Revolution. Only good things ahead.

Music, particularly when performing, is a conversation. If everyone is talking at the same time, that’s not a conversation.

The Recording Revolution is in great hands. Congratulations Joe for taking over. Looking forward to seeing new content again!

[jr_oantonio]

Awesome! To me, principles of orchestration and arranging helped a lot towards more "storytelling" textures

[OSWCrosshair]

What a great announcement. I am so happy for you. It was the first place I started learning to mix. It led me to you and HSC. Congrats.

Thanks Joe, I just watched the video you referenced and it's great; really illustrated your point.
Great news about Recording Revolution as well 👍

For me, it's harmony. I'm a Jazz guy. So, I like to add color tones either melodically, or in a chord. I have learned over the years that "less is more", and to dial it back a wee notch. This allows the producer the chance to either encourage a little color in my playing, or not. And usually, dialing the color back just a bit, and using my ears, I know when I can add color or not. And that applies especially on Sunday mornings at Church.

Congratulations on your addition! You are a great inspiration to many folks. I wish i could actually write music and play instruments outside of drums.

Wow. Grahams channel was the first I came across, when I started home recording. And that was how I learned about Home Studio Corner.

[Jesse]

Great news! I have been a subscriber of both channels. I've learned so much from you two!

"It's not fair to ask the mix engineer to fix that." 😆🤣

[Gedagnors]

This is one of the most important videos for everyone who's making music in 2023! Thank you for explaining!!!
This is exactly the mistake I've done for so long!

[zazoomatt]

What a Great Video on " S P A C E ". Thanks Joe

[polmorgan]

I have studdied this mixing thing so learning about Space will be the final fronteer.

[jrclarkbass]

Great video Joe! This is so true. I try to live by this axiom live and in studio settings; play to make the whole band sound good.

Start playing everything simpler and connected, then see if you need to hear a lick or two once the song has a good foundation.

One of my favorite bands from the 80s is Duran Duran. Yes they are laden with all kinds of keyboard and rhythm parts, but they are layered in such a way that they all complement each other or play with other.

I could go on for years about space too. 😁

While there's some truth to this, I feel like these videos do more harm than good. There's no corresponding "Don't Underplay" video. And the fact is that some people just like maximalist music. It's not appropriate for all genres. But if that's what you like, you should pursue it. Who cares if it's harder to mix?

I just shudder to think of all the people who are going to ignore all their natural impulses and start writing roots and fifth bass lines, when what they have in their heads and hearts is something far different and more interesting.

[bradenharwood]

I was a member of RR until late last year. I might rejoin. Will I still have access to the courses that I have already purchased over there?

[MarcoGonzalez]

I got the email Joe with the announcement!!! So happy for you and for the channel (Recording Revolution)
What´s going on with Graham anyway??? Somebody else took over the channel a while ago and never saw him again!! 🙅‍♂
Follow you both for years
Congrats!!! ✌🏻😉

Congrats on the merger! Love the concept of this video. I've played with this idea and had good results. I wanted my snare to pop louder so I intentionally had the guitar and bass rest on 2 and 4 which is where the snare hits. Not only did it allow the snare to pop, my bass and gtr parts became more interesting.

[williammclemore]

I believe what you are saying here is less = more. I heard this concept in a video with Jeff Skunk Baxter.
