Hey gang,
First off - this song can't be shared anywhere outside of here, but I know yall get that :)
Here's the song I made in the course that's going to release in a month or so. In it I'll share everything I did in real time to get there. Exciting!
Gonna get this mixed/mastered and eventually release it everywhere, but for t...

Hey gang!
Enjoy this pic of my breakfast. Nutricious.
More work on the course today! Trying to finish up the song lol, as you know I can get stuck trying to finish songs so it’s a bit of a struggle. But I think it’s getting there! Good practice for me too :P
Also as always, working on the voice (clocking 1.5-2h vocal pract...

Hey gang,
Today was a little slower - spent a lot of time finding the right melodies and stuff for the chorus of the song I’m making in the course 😅 But ye, worked out, two 1h vocal practices and shooting a bunch of hours for the course… feeling pretty productive here! Gonna work a bit tomorrow too, to try to get the course stuff do...

Hey gang,
Just filmed the first two lessons of my course (about 3 hours of stuff but it will be cut down a bit). This song and course are gonna be really great I think! I was nervous but got some really sick stuff in there so I’m confident.
I also have a commentary video ready and edited, just need to record a little merch ad for t...

Hey gang,
Been a busy few days with a lot of meetings and events. Still prepping for the course, ran into some problems with my filming setup today and had to drive two hours to get special stands 🥲 Really hate buying stuff like that lol.
I’m scheduled to start filming the course tomorrow, but I might push it an additional day s...

Hey gang,
More setup today, spent some time coloring the cameras/setting up yet another camera angle for the course. Had singing lesson (working on "Don't wanna miss a thing" lol) and did some chores/planning.
Jonas is booked for finishing up the Levels of Bohemian Rhapsody edit, but that'll drop in a couple weeks.
Did so...

Hey gang,
Today I spent a lot of time getting ready for filming my music course, structuring up the different parts etc. Pictured is my overhead camera for the keyboard - a little janky, but I was able to avoid buying a specific stand for it so I’m happy hehe.
I also filmed a new commentary video. Should be out early next week. Lo...
2023-04-13 05:41:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey gang,
Today was another admin-ish day. I wanted to film but ended up looking for video ideas I felt excited about, doing some singing practice, reading feedback on my course outline... Then in the evening I went to an event at Atlantic Studios meeting a bunch of other music youtubers and artists. Some collabs might come out of that. 2023-04-12 04:12:59 +0000 UTC View Post
Sup gang!
Thanks for the well wishes - bday weekend was good! Today I’ve been catching up on emails and had a meeting with August about him planning a few commentary videos. I might be filming a little bit more now for a bit, wanna get into more of a jive again. I’d classify the period I just had as a veryzcreative and skill...
2023-04-11 05:09:31 +0000 UTC View PostHey gang,
Most of my day today went towards thinking about the music course I'm making. As it stands now, it will be called:
"Maximize your vocal potential: singing, tuning, recording, melody crafting & producing for outstanding vocals & impactful songs"
The idea is that it should be accessible for both beginners & ...

Random post, but Jonas got engaged this week. Made me think of this old pic lmao.
Just wanted to tell you guys I appreciate you loads. Having you with me in the ups and downs is really nice, and using this space as a bit of a work diary and chatting to you is amazing, and it really helps.
Sometimes I make something that does well, s...

I want to know your thoughts! I'm really proud of it :)
How did you feel about the format? Did you watch all the way through? Is it too many short songs? Would you rather have one long one? Are the visuals interesting enough?
Just tryina figure out how to do it even better! Really proud of it
2023-04-06 04:44:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey gang,
I'm releasing the new video in sync with Trey, and he didn't keep the deadline so it will upload tomorrow. Sorry about that.
Been re-producing Bit By Bit a bit today - redid the drums and mixing for this little part. Let me know if you think this clip sounds good! File attached :)
I need to submit my theme for the mus...

Woke up late today, but spent most of the day recreating the instrumental from Taylor Swifts "Style", which is expertly produced by Max Martin and Shellback. Posted a clip in instagram stories for those curious. Jonas is working on edits for the voice message video, and they're looking sick! Gonna film the last parts tomorrow for...

Hey gang,
I think this is gonna be the finale song for the voice message video. Still need to sort some minor stuff with it but I've been having crazy freezes and glitches today so I just thought I'd post this until I've figured it ou...

Hey gang!
Today I finished filming for the songs I have made for the voice message video. I still have a couple more songs to make though, the video is a bit short and I still have some messages I collected I wanted to keep in.
I also had the kickoff meeting for the music course I'm making today. Very exciting! Can't wait to share th...

Hey gang,
Got over the bump and got some filming done today :) This pic is from the "Good with my hands" hand farting. I still need to film a bit more, but things are on the way! Planned upload date: Tuesday :) Wanna have jonas do some edits on it like back in the day (I used to do the basic editing on the singing experiments, and then Jon...

Got stuck on the new song I posted earlier today, which I'm super excited about since you seem so excited about it - pumped! Probably best reception from you guys on anything ever. Been sittin late recording more guitars and stuff for it. But I also didn't get anything filmed for the voice message video lol. I'm officially procra...

Took today to mess around with different music production stuff and made this little vibe I'm attaching to this post.
I went through maybe 10 different drum libraries and came to the conclusion that I didn't really like any of them that much, so I'm building my own drum kits :P Takes a bit longer but is very rewarding...

Permission to shout at me :P I woke up remembering a very important thing I wanted to do with this series - making it work as shorts/tiktoks/reels. And then I realized that I hadn't chosen a camera angle with enough of my body visible to comfortably crop it. So I went over it all again!! New camera angles, change in lighting, change in coloring....
2023-03-25 01:12:17 +0000 UTC View Post
Changed the camera angle. Tried 30 different ways of lighting it. This is what I finally came up with. What do you think? I really feel like it's time to move on now haha. I think this looks pretty good!
Getting VERY tired of smoothies. Hoping to try some solid foods this weekend :)
If I keep working even more on the lighting and cam...

Today was even more coloring research. Watched more tutorials, watched videos on how to grade music videos (those guys are amazing lmao). Anyway this is what I arrived with for this video - I think the limiting factor for me right now more than anything is lighting and the colors in my room. The blue lights on the synth are super bright and blue...

Hey gang,
Today I spent some of the day producing music, I had an obsession with finding a certain type of tool for making interesting ear candy/being a bit more creative when producing and I think I found it. Also wrote a new verse for a song, will post once it's a bit more fleshed out. Idk if you guys saw on instagram, I recreated one of...

Ended up looking over my camera settings (Filming in Slog 3 on my Sony A7SIII for those in the know) and how to use that footage in a new video editing program (da vinci resolve) today. Looots of research but also lots of exciting possibilities I can imagine learning all this stuff. It, for example, has a very neat masking featur...

Chilled out a bit this weekend, excited to get back at it tomorrow. I've been low-key working on an ad for Keeps though, the hair loss prevention company. What did you think of the RAID ad in the last video? That was entirely written by me and my kind of humor, instead of written by chance which has been the case for a bit.
