Of course i'm interested in recording, but every good music is worth listening. And I like just listen as well. Since i know how it was recorded, vibes are even better:)
I admire the effort you put into keeping an analog signal path, especially when it would be so much simpler and seemingly time efficient to use a daw. Sometimes, people using computers spend a lot of time tinkering with eq, and endless plug ins and effects. I generally prefer the analog methods since it's less edited and more natural sounding, and the process requires more thoughtfulness in the arrangements. It's funny if I put up an original song it may get a couple of plays, but if I demo an obscure keyboard from the 80s I could get several thousand plays. I was eyeing your Tascam M 30 mixer, since I have the same one, and don't understand all the busing and routing capabilities, then I laughed when I saw your shirt as I was shopping for an Evil-Lyn shirt earlier, since I think that name is hilarious. I do like your music, it fits in with Brian WIlson, Paul McCartney, Emmit Rhodes, 70s singer-songwriters. And you intro-instrumental jingle is quite catchy, maybe you can sell it to a network.
Thanks! While the 8 track is working (emphasis on while!) I don't need to think about using the DAW, I'm aware that it would open up more options but I guess the point of all of this is what happenes when you don't. Glad you like the T 💀 haha
Great job , nice warm and fat , the way I like it , ha ha. I'm the musician producer that talked to you in teh comment section like a year ago on the same analog subject. I'm anti digital too , the only time I would use say like pro tools or any other software is when I make final mixes but thats about it. Also love your poppy happy tune. I have a word a o advice , stay happy all the time and keep making music like that. Yes , you can be down or sad too and make some great music because of it but keep happy most of the time. Love to see you next video on the recording process of the song , I will stay tuned , Rock On , Dan
Thanks Dan! Always happy to chat Analog. Every project is different and I've used digital many times when I had to, but it's great to force yourself away from it and see what happens
@@andypickeringmusic Thanks , there is only one thing I don;t like about analog and it's the mixing process of all the tracks to a master. It's too much work and mistakes can happen while doing the mix live and you have to do it over again. With digital , it's all automated the way you want it. I remember years ago back in the 90s there was a analog recorder that supplied auto mixing , I forgot which machine it was though.
Great song, arrangement, performance and recording.... the usual "quadruple threat" from you! Can't wait for the EP! Thanks for posting the video. After watching it yesterday I felt so inspired I went straight into my studio!
Thanks Peter! I wasn't going to do a video on this song hence why no footage was filmed during the making but cobbled this together as very happy with the outcome! Hope you got some stuff done in your studio! Always a pleasure to inspire. Andy
Gosh, listening to that opening demo had me thinking Andy......have you ever tried writing songs for a musical? My own stuff is sometimes a bit too personal for a musical, but I did write one about eight years ago. It ended up being a play with music rather than a whole sung through Sondheim affair. Something to bear in mind? Here's a finance guy I follow, who's also a damned good comedian and musical writer: th-cam.com/video/aYxrIFBTojo/w-d-xo.html
I would love the opportunity to do any kind of commissioned work like a musical. I would jump at the chance. I never really know how to present myself to the right people in these fields though
Apologies for the slight out of sync audio in the Live Performance. Bit of a glitch but was too late to change it once uploaded!
marvellous! greetings from Chile, Andy
I found your channel yesterday and I love your recording gear but your music is even more beautiful! Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks so much!

It's good that you've discovered a method that suits your material. Good luck.
Thank you! Cheers!
