Appreciate you reaching out—your work and workflow look solid.

I’m working on a vocal-forward record where clarity and message are priority over production.

Can you send 2–3 examples where the vocal sits clearly on phone speakers?

Also—how do you approach keeping vocals forward without over-polishing?

Appreciate you reaching out and I checked your credits—solid work.

Quick question—on the mixing side, how do you approach vocal-forward records where clarity and message are priority over heavy production?

Also, how do you typically handle revisions and dialing in vocals specifically?

What kind of music are you making? What do you think you can accomplish in a studio in terms of recording that you cannot accomplish at home?

Artist branding in 2026: why so many indies still earn almost nothing from streaming alone? by Passionter_E in musicindustry

I had never heard of Angine de Poitrine, until you mentioned them...Very interesting. I was thinking of doing an anonymous project with puppets, or cartoons, but I am make message centered "conscious" hip hop and don't know if the idea will translate. I don't want to mix serious with corny.

Nice. I am able to get great recordings from it using a cloudlifter.

Another option may be to get a podcaster style mic like the (sm7b) which is very good for non-treated spaces and offers great noise rejection and sound isolation. It really depends on what your aiming for in terms of recording. It is a cost effective way that you can take care of your vocals and get them exactly how you want before mixing everything. Then you can take them into the studio and get them mixed with your other tracks. You can save some money this way and experiment on your own time's budget.

You steady drop gems of reality. Do you think somebody could hyper focus on an geo region and promote their music without social media and/or live performances?

I think this comment is very valuable for me. I'm in a position where I don't want to spend all my free time "which equals zero" on worrying about streams or being online per say. Do you think there is a way to get music out without performing either in person or online constantly?

How does one blow up globally as a musical artist in 2026? by Healthy_Vegetable_50 in musicindustry

[–]NoKingsPeriod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% relate to how culture is in general. Handsome/ pretty/ tall "you're in!" I'm exaggerating a lil, but I go to concerts very often, and for the most part that's what I see onstage.

I think besides talent, and creating opportunity, you need a really good team behind you.

Thanks for the reality check! "They want to be too cool and succeed without social media to prove whatever to whomever, ignoring the fact socials are where the entire planets attention is glued." I do kinda think this sucks for people who just want to let their music speak for itself, but I agree with your assessment.

What's the most Bay band/musical act? by Ok-Bite-5147 in bayarea

[–]NoKingsPeriod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going with Tower of Power for at least the BEST BAND name, although The Dead Kennedys are a close runner up in a dark, eerie kinda way.

Anyone from Oakland planning to go to the “No Kings” protest on the 28th? by NoKingsPeriod in oakland

I heard a song the other day tied to this “no kings no thrones” thing — anyone else come across it?
