@popvulture dude, i like it. its good chill stuff and you've got your sound together. My stuff's just iphone recorded dirty instrumental noise layered on free Garageband. I just want it to exist somewhere besides my phone and i'm pretty tech (and musically) illiterate. I dont care about generating money or fans. Do you pay a subscription for an artist-account holder?

[popvulture]

Nope, it's free — there's a paid version that gives you more features but I haven't opted for it yet. Might someday, but I don't see any need for now.

I think phone recordings sound pretty fantastic sometimes, just gotta try to make sure you're not getting too much intruding noise from unwanted sources like humming air conditioners or whatever else. A lot of times whatever room sounds you might get can make things feel more real. I can't tell you how many times I cut out a lot of ambient sounds from my recordings, only to have my girlfriend tell me it sounded sterile and that she liked it better with the squeaks and scrapes.

@popvulture yeah, it's def tricky to record well, even harder to play when you're nervous about recording, and dont know music. like me. lol

But, nice work on that, you've got a good project going, i'm psyched for you, and motivated to get my own moving. thanks!

@WhiskeySandwich I really appreciate the kind words, man! And re: recording, we all start out not knowing anything. It took me a ton of trial and error to figure out what I know so far, and I still have a long way to go. It's worth digging in — best advice I can give is to just give it a shot and never be afraid to fail. Hardly anyone would judge you for it, and if they do, fuck em.
