Question from a client: Can I record a ‘good’ recording on Garage Band?  Yes. Following is a list of major artists who use Garage Band, some on smash hits, some during demoing. • Rihanna’s smash hit “Umbrella”. (Play “Vintage Funk Kit 03” loop at 90bpm) • Usher • Trent Reznor - Best Score Oscar Winner & Nine Inch Nails • Seal “Kiss From A Rose” • Kate Nash • Limp Bizkit - demos songs • Fall Out Boy - Track building • Panic At the Disco! - tracks • Courtney Love - demos • T-Pain’s hit “i’m N Luv” • Oasis • Snow Patrol • James Blunt A typical scenario would be to record your tracks on garage band, and then send to a professional mixer who knows how to add effects, balance levels, has a full studio of great professional plugins/effects, has years of mixing experience, (Think Malcom Gladwell’s 10,000 hour rule from “Outliers”), professional credits, and knowledge of mixing for depth, width, height…    See Ya On the Charts!    producer/mixer Gary Earl

Years ago, I interned with a famous Brill Building songwriter - he had Grammys, Tonys, Oscars.  After a week or so, I politely asked him if he’d listen to one of my songs. I said, “It’s supposed to touch your heart.”  He looked at me quizzically and said “Touch my heart? That won’t get you a cut. You get cuts when your sad song thrusts it’s angry fist deep into someone’s chest, rips the heart right out, throws it on the ground, and stomps it into tiny pieces. That’s what your song should do.”  Now a hundred cuts later, I realize just what a difference that one piece of advice made in my career.  Miss you Joel - R.I.P. buddy.

The Guy You Keep Locked in Your Closet

By Gary Earl

Writer’s Block. We’ve all heard of it, and most of us have struggled with it at one time or another. I’m fortunate to have never had a problem with it, and here is the reason why:

My family trained dogs when I was growing up, and I noticed early on that dogs that got hit a lot stopped approaching their masters with the same enthusiasm. The same thing happens between your right brain and left brain. Your creative side unveils a new labor of love, and if you allow your analytical side to immediately criticize it – then pretty soon your creative side blocks up, deciding it’s just too painful to go through that anymore.

So when you’re in the middle of creating, keep that critical voice locked away in a closet until your creative side is done. Later, perhaps the next morning, you can let that critical voice come out and judge your work. At that point it can be very helpful, but make sure that it isn’t allowed to stand over your creative side and whack it every time something new comes out.

Write on,

Gary

‘Box’ for Delivering Songs

By Gary Earl

Last week, I talked about industry protocols for delivering song files to a mixer. Box is an easy way to deliver those songs.

What is Box?

I’ve been using Dropbox for a long time, but in the past year I started using Box.

I know many publishers and film supervisors request Box instead of Dropbox because songs can be previewed and listened to without having to be downloaded first, as is the case with Dropbox.

Perhaps even more importantly is Box was designed specifically to be great on mobile phones and iPads - where most of the action is these days.

There are many other ways of delivering files... which ways do you prefer?
