NO MORE SYNTHS?

As some of you may or not be aware, I'm a fan of synthesisers (hardware & software). At the start of every year I say the same thing to myself "I do NOT need anymore synths, I've got enough" Well, that lasts all of 5 mins before I see a soft or hardware synth that I think "ooooooo I think I need to try that. That could be good".  Next thing I know, if its a software synth & its compatible with my pc I will download it & demo it. I'll be honest I've tried quite a few software synths in the past. The real problems starts when I start using a demo synth on a song I'm currently working on & think "oooooooo I like this synth.Yes this synth really works for this song". But, I have to ask my myself the question "Do I really need this synth"? The answer is probably no.

Can you ever have too many synths (either hardware or software)? Why do I feel the need to want more synths?

Yes, they're a few hardware synths I would like to try (that have been released the past year or so. e.g. The Roland Boutique range is looking good &. I think I need to try it, just to see if I need any of the synths or drums machines😉😉 Realistically I probably don't need any of them.lol. Anyway, where would I put them? Ive not really got the room.lololol)

I will confess I'm the same with plugins (I've got EQ, Compressor, Reverb, Delay etc)



Will I buy anymore synths in the future? Yes, I probably will. I can't resist😂😂

Until next time

FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: JELLY CLEAVER

Hi! Everyone, this week's FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK is the very talented  singer-songwriter, musician  & producer JELLY CLEAVER JELLY CLEAVER Please introduce yourself I’m a singer-songwriter, jazz guitarist and producer. I’m also an activist and this really influences my music and the lyrics I write. I love lots of different genres so have quite an eclectic style and like to throw myself into different music scenes. I’m really into the jazz scene and the punk/DIY scene in London at the moment.   How did you get into music? I started playing guitar as soon as I could hold one pretty much because my dad was a guitar teacher, and I’ve always had a really deep connection to music. I’ve tried lots of different aspects of music out though, from leading an African singing and drumming ensemble to starting a rock band. I just love music in all its forms.   What instruments do you play? Guitar’s my first instrument but when I’m reco...

LESS IS MORE

When mixing you need to create space. It's so easy to keep adding different instruments when recording. However, when it comes to mixing you'll probably end up with 2 or more instruments fighting for the same frequency. So what do you do? Well, Firstly it depends on the instruments. Sometimes you may have to be harsh & think: "Do i really need these 2 parts or can i mute one (or even delete)?" This is what i normally do. Now maybe you're thinking: "What about using EQ?" Or "Why not use panning?" Yes i could use these tools. However is this additional sound going to add anything to the mix? Is this part necessary? If not, then im afraid the part either gets muted or deleted. A few days ago i was recording some vocals, for a middle 8 (on a new song). Let's just say i got a bit carried away & ended up recording a few harmony parts too many. I can tell you now that some of those harmony parts will probably be muted. (Why were thos...
