CoOooOool ππ can't wait to give it a listen
Will you be able to read boost messages from other PC 2.0 apps with the boostbot I noticed in the splits?
It's not ideal but yes, I can read them. If boosts become too difficult that it forces me do a node it is a good problem to have π
And Thank you for boosting! π
You're welcome! You did a good job on your first go-around. Kept it to a good time frame & within a topic without too much meandering π«
Thanks. I tried to keep to an hour and ended up a few seconds under. I could have chatted to Joe for ages though π
For some reason nostr doesn't like to show the info with my OG implementation. π
I need to figure out why
Ok queueSong links are broken in Nostrudel, but still no og for album share links :(
Awesome! You made it πΈπΈπΈ And great first guest. I'm half way through and enjoying it. Good sound too. Sounds like you were made for doing podcasts. Nice and relaxed. Music rocks too.
Brilliant, well done m8. Look forwards to tuning in later.
View quoted note βDefinitely not made for it. I'm a total introvert but I like to push myself and I'm determined to help grow the music space. I edited out my worst garbled talking and I accidentally ran my voice through the signal chain 2x so super compressed.
Joe was easy lol
Can't wait to hear your bts stories some time π
No! Thank you!
This opened at the show level for me but the first went to the home page.
Awesome and congrats! π Will listen to this asap!
You might want to play on 2x when I'm speaking π
I really enjoyed this. Matt, youβre a natural interviewer and ask great questions - even when you caught Joe cold with the vocal chain gear-head question π€£. Joeβs recordings are dripping in quality and itβs nice to hear the stories behind these songs too.
Thanks Ian! I'm certainly not the best at speaking. Maybe I will get more comfortable? But I want to help promote the artists and let them do the speaking. I am trying to make it a bit more about the technical and creation side to give the show a point of difference to what others in the v4v space do - and that's what I find most interesting lol
And yes, Alone In Valentine in particular absolutely oozes quality! I wish I had asked what his budget was. The general punters don't appreciate how much it cost to bring something like that to life.
I caught some of your plebchain radio interview. Matt's interview is next on the list! So 1000 units meaning 1000 records? Or do you go half and half between vinyl and CDs? Yes I know how much professional studio time and mixing/mastering is. That's why I built a home studio π. I chose to spend the the money on gear and time on learning. The advantage is that its cheaper but your first bunch of recordings are trial and error. And you won't sound professional until years of experience. Hopefully I am about half way thereπ But lots of respect for musicians who choose to fork the cash for quality recordingsπ
Yeah being a one man band like matt has its advantages! haha. So do you hire session musicians then? If so, how do you figure out what they should play? DO you give them demos before entering the studio or have practices with them before? I have never had to hire anyone before because essentially all my friends are musicians lol. Every single friendship that has lasted for me is pretty much because we met in highschool and both played music.
This will be a great angle and make it more interesting for other musicians etc too. You didnβt sound nervous or uncomfortable at all so donβt worry about that.
I think the budget and process side is very important to explain, non musicians have no idea of the costs of production of a record and all the trade offs and decisions that have to be made by the artist. With V4V we are asking the audience to determine the value to them, but that is likely near zero but they donβt know the artist has gone 20K USD into debt to make that album and had to do the work of a whole record company themselves or whatever it is.π€·ββοΈ
This is the main decision and trade off for an artist - build your own set up and avoid ongoing studio hire costs, but then slow to a crawl as you climb a massive learning curve, learn how to do the job of the engineer, producer and rest of the band so you can make cheaper but less alive versions of the songs yourself. All the while struggling to obtain objectivity on what you are doing creatively.
Whilst you were off doing that, AI arrives and you can now just type in some shitty words and make a βsongβ and creativity and patience are optional skills for most people π€·ββοΈ
It would be a reality check for most people.
π No no, I'm totally fine with it. I'm not a native speaker so I'd rather switch to half speed, I guess. π€£
Oh good. I already speak half-speed for you π
Haha β¦ Donβt worry, your Aussie accent makes up for it. π
Congrats again
@Matt Finlay for starting your own show and I really enjoyed this episode with
@Joe Martin talking about the production of his latest album. Gonna give the album some spins now. βΊοΈ
View quoted note βHaha yeah that's true. I honestly don't care about AI though. If it exists or not does not affect what I am doing in my studio.
@Rey Dante knows all about neing a one man band and how much real studio time and production costs. He spent months in Mexico recording a bunch of songs and videos!
Massive thanks to @Sir Libre for helping me with the fancy 2.0 stuff π
