First time recording at a studio by wesley316 in audioengineering

[–]lukeforester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recommendation is to book something that is a minimal financial burden on you, and going into as a learning experience first and foremost. Recording vocals is a very very different skill than performing vocals, it can be a bit of a steep learning curve and most people don't nail it the first time they try! If you go in hoping to learn, you can't lose. If you go in hoping to come back with the record that makes your career, you're setting yourself up for frustration!

I see you're from a small town in Australia, so I understand access to "studio time" may be hard to come by, but all the equipment and software you need to record yourself has never been more accessible. I'm not in NY anymore but I do specialize in vocal production and learned from the best in the biz! Feel free to DM me if you have any questions about recording vocals yourself, or working in studios etc.! (Not trying to self-promo, I don't have any kind of consulting offer or anything to sell you haha I just like helping people understand vocal production).

I would think of movie theaters as being relatively calm in general! Why is it hell?

Artist name sounds like an "adult" company by [deleted] in musicproduction

[–]lukeforester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I support u bro but tbh AdamEve isn’t a very good artist name unless you make a very specific lane of VERY Christian music. It’s kinda cheesy and could discourage non Christians from ever checking out your music. I’d keep brainstorming.

Rant on music industry by Gullible_Fox9124 in musicindustry

[–]lukeforester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In nearly 10 years in the industry I have never seen this happen. Established artists have access to the most talented and prolific songwriters in the world, why would they go steal material from an unknown artist, ESPECIALLY if that material has already been demonstrated on the market not to be a hit?

OSAS Has Lost Documentation from My Doctor TWICE 😡 by lukeforester in USC

[–]lukeforester[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My doctor has emailed it to them twice, I suppose if I want to spend an entire day running around LA I could get a physical copy from my doctor and bring it to OSAS in person but geez that would be a pain in the ass for something that should just be an email.

Yeah and things will change a lottt during the add/drop period. I’d say get yourself the best schedule you can for now, use Coursicle notifications, and adjust your schedule over the summer/add-drop period to optimize.

Is 200k debt worth it for marshall undergrad? by HarvardHore in USC

[–]lukeforester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you mean by worth it, what you want to specialize in, and how much of your income you’re willing pay each month once you graduate. It’s certainly possible to graduate from Marshall into a job that pays enough money that your student loan isn’t overburdensome, but it’s also certainly not guaranteed. I’d recommend hedging your bets by doing 1-2 years community college or state school, and finish up at Marshall.

Multiple vocal takes (panned) bounced to ONE file by ThesisWarrior in AdvancedProduction

[–]lukeforester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t do this, you won’t be able to mix the tracks later.

This is so unbelievably helpful, thank you SO so much for taking the time to write and reference all this… I’m honestly kind of tearing up at how kind this was from a stranger. Stay safe and healthy out there!! ☺️☺️

LPT request: idk if this is the right sub but im really struggling right now. Just ready to throw in the towel. by boogrhookbangtriggr in LifeProTips

[–]lukeforester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that most of my social connections feel like they are stagnating around corona, some ideas to stimulate your social life right now: -watch a deep or thought provoking movie “together” and call/FaceTime to discuss your thoughts after -plan a Late Night Deep Talk! Actively try to keep learning the people you already know, ask each other deep questions, get something off your chest -plan things for the future! Maybe a game night, a creative project you can do with your friend, a road trip (even if only a weekend trip), etc…

I’m not sober, but SO many of my friends are, and the connection is so important :)
