RICK CARUSO Can't wait to see some tutorials on reason. Starting to get into that too a little bit. Thanks again!

Nathan Standage That's an awesome idea. I'm totally down. I just finished recording an EP I'm doing, so this came out at the perfect time. For my switch I'm going to mix half the songs in Logic Pro instead of Pro Tools. I'm unfamiliar with the Logic plugins, keyboard shortcuts, and workflow, so it'll be a good time for sure. Thanks for all you do

Nav Hey! Nice throw back to the early 90s. Sent me back to college days. I really like the harder, grittier bass and the toms. Also really dig that you added that verby electric guitar. Made it sound like The Cure! Cool to see the Auralex up in your space, man. Hope it serves you well. Great stuff, Shai. Another awesome Basement Alchemy production! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

John Kyle Awesome, Graham. I'm not a ProTools user and am pretty basic with DAWs in general. I use Studio One (HT Joe Gilder). I'm not clear on the idea of "printing" the effect, and how this is different than slapping the EQ etc. plugins on the track. Love learning from you (and Joe!)

Graham Cochrane Hey John, thanks for the comment - In reality this isn't much different than mixing - except for the fact that you are tweaking with the settings in the recording phase to get them to sound they way you WOULD if you owned a bunch of channel strips or outboard gear to record through. Once it sounds the way you want - at the end of the recording session you apply the processing to the actual audio file, so you can then delete the plugin. It will be a brand new piece of audio that sounds just the way you want, on tracking day.

Nav This song has a very catchy and well-crafted build through the first verse. But I really wanted the "round and round again" section to be a pre-chorus. Right at 1:16, I was expecting the song to transition to a much more compelling chorus, but then was a little bit let down when it went right into verse two. The song structure, as written, is A-B-A-B-bridge-A. If you wrote and added a chorus (C), I think you have a more satisfying song: A-B-C-A-B-C-bridge-C-C-A. Just my two cents. Solid recording. Great to see you outdoors in a more expansive environment. Cinematography works to make the video feel melancholy and personal.

Basement Alchemy I definitely know what you're talking about, But I didn't want to write a pop song, more like a anti-pop song pop song.

Nav Ahh. A nice hard-hitting, guitar-driven rocker! Love the contrast between the 5/4 and 4/4 sections, and the trippy glockenspiel vs. distorted guitar. You used these to great musical effect to represent the "collision" of two different worlds. Nice, bro. Cool visual effects with the lighting. Especially the dust particles circling the light around your breath when up on the mic. Finally, nice Bellamy-esque guitar solo. I think it could be brought out of the mix even more to help the song reach its full-on sonic peak at 3:20. Fine artistry all around. You're improving on all fronts.

Stephen Eric Berry Excellent primer on compression focused on raising specific elements of a vocal. By the way, nice glissando touches at the end of those phrases.
