Social Media Vs The Artists - How To Grow An Audience
Today we talk about the places we all frequent (Instagram, TikTok, UA-cam) hoping to expand our reach. Hoping to connect. I discuss something I wish I did when I first started my journey: ask what I really wanted out of my social media experience. As creating content can often override the process of being an artist, leaving us feeling frustrated and burned out. Therefore its important to know what you want out of it, so you can be sure to spend your energy wisely.
I share what helped me, and my personal philosophy towards social media. I hope this can serve as guidance for other creatives who may feel frustrated sharing their art on social media.

Analog Mastering - From DAW To Revox Through RTM Tape
Переглядів 6 тис.День тому
In todays episode we are using the coveted Revox a77 to warm up a digital mix by mastering it onto RTM LPR35. This song (Awake At Dawn by The Monroe) has already been mixed and mastered, so we are just taking it one step further by sending it through some circuitry. This is a great way to glue things together, increase some low-end, add perceived loudness via saturation and most importantly: ge...
Tape Machine Preamps = Amazing Guitar Tone
Переглядів 11 тис.21 день тому
No tape? No problem. A unique way to use old machines (including ones that don't spin and need mechanical maintenance) is to plug a instrument or mic straight into it and route the output to your interface. You now have a very colored unique sounding preamp. And when you try a instrument like guitar, you can get very interesting saturation results. I had never done this before so I decided to g...
The JHS Colour Box Turns 10 - Console In A Box Pedal

JHS created a pedal which sole purpose is to add vintage British inspired colour to any source you connect to. Its now turning 10 years old and to celebrate they released a throwback to the OG grey color-way. Thank you to JHS for sponsoring this video and asking me to create a new demonstration for this classic pedal. I explore the colour box on 2 electric guitars direct to the Revox a77, follo...
New Modulation Plugin For Psychedelic Producers - AudioHertz FAN
Переглядів 7 тис.Місяць тому
AudioHertz has created another very eccentric plugin for us producers. Designed especially for those who like to get trippy. I spent the day recording this song and applied the FAN plugin to the guitar and synth in various capacities. Even tossed it on a drum fill! I was really feeling the results. Using this plugin thickened up my new Yamaha cheap Black Hole keyboard. It added some classic wat...
How To Record & Digitally Transfer Cassette (For Artists)
Переглядів 21 тис.Місяць тому
If you ever been curious how I get my cassette recordings back in the computer and what post processing I use, this videos for you! Using a Panasonic RR830 and RTM cassette, we track a few guitar lines and bring it back into the computer using the UAD Apollo 8 interface. You can use any interface long as you have "in & out" routing options. I couldn't ask for a more perfect sponsor than RTM Tap...

The Secret For Finding Your Sound - Why I Use Cheap Gear

What began as necessity has evolved to philosophy. Cheap gear gives me a raw, rough around the edge sound, one I have taken and ran with.

Recording Drum Samples Using Rare Microphone + Free Kick Samples
Переглядів 5 тис.3 місяці тому
Welcome to the first vvunder-vlog. I go visit a friend at their studio and brought along this rare microphone (sent to me by Anthony who I met on IG!) As per usual, hard to find any information on the Astatic 981. I was told its great for drums so naturally I went for kick! We are so close to 8k subs so I wanted to show my appreciation to everyone watching by giving you these samples for free. ...
Mixing Drums Into Cassette - Building Texture
Переглядів 46 тис.3 місяці тому
This week I went to a friends house to process some drums. I was ill prepared and met with a lot of challenges. (Good work is all in the prep!) so the next morning I decided to give myself a redemption opportunity and re-process the drums instead of wallowing in failure. This is the same session from my "Mixing Drums - "Vintage" Organic Style Using Plugins" except now I finished the process by ...

first time seeing your channel, your story really resonates. thank you for sharing!
my takeaway from all this is that you're a freakin really good producer ! all the music in this video was great
I like this guy
just found your channel but holy shit amazing video, amazing cinematography, amazing information, subscribed
"When those batteries die, they (the keyboards) start sounding really, really sick!" @ ~8:12 = coolest sound I ever heard. =)
Wow I neeeeeeded to watch this thank you 🥲
This video really spoke to me. Thank you for making it!! 🙏🏽
thank you
I need this channel to remain small, so when you recommend gear the prices don't sky rocket. Also everyone should watch your videos because they're amazing :)
One of the best videos for the modern musician in a long while. Well done!
Thank you.
✌🏻 truth, bro
This is my first time watching your channel and I'm already subscribed. Your video just hit me at the right time. Thank you for making it and I look forward to seeing the rest of your content.
such a good point about social media.... yikes!!!!
🤞🏾🤞🏾
I love the background music, is it your own?
Perfect video! Love it! My bandmates in the Kilrains and I were discussing this recently and I agree with you, forget the algorithm and go with what you want. 🙌
It has never been easier to grow an audience than today (if you use a bit of Famester of course). I use it all the time, but don't take my word for it. Try it yourself and thank me later.
I am glad that UA-cam recommended me your video. I just woke up and felt really exhausted like i don't know how many times in the past months. I really believe that this mental and physical condition is because I am over charging myself off to much expectation. Myself, parents and the fact that I went all in moving to another country. But it has been really nice listening to you and re assuring. I really would like Social media to be a place where I can connect with other musicians and making music with them. Getting new opportunities as guitarist. Nothing else.
Great video. I feel like you’ve read Rick Rubin’s book lol
Fantastic content. More along these lines please - common sense and refreshing.
“I’m not telling you what to do. I’m trying to inspire you to realize that you know what to do.” You’ve seen the struggle my friend. Huge video for me rn. 👊❤
That’s one I will play a second time 😄
Appreciate this video man, I've been feeling down and out dealing with social media myself; especially the older I get. I literally only have IG and Threads on my phone once a week to post stuff/check messages, then I delete it right off my phone until the next week...social media is that daunting and distracting to me. This helps me focus more on my music and DJing and actually inspires me more. I've been getting back into listening to my CD collection and music on my mp3 player than through streaming as well, which have helped a ton. Keep up the good work man!
I'm A Engineer I always tell myself I do not need clout or fans I need clients that make art!!!!
Good video, i dont want numbers or anything, i just would like to pay my rent without doing shit i hate everyday, but i accepted it by now, thats just the way it is
Thanks for this video bro
I needed this today
thanks man, true words you have spoken. I make music myself too (very niche, regional, not for the whole world) and sometimes I feel like I have to do more Pop Stuff - Videos like yours bring me back to the right course. All the best from Austria. Severin
Thanks a lot for your inspiring words
dude this is so meta. an artist talking about getting trapped in content, in a piece of content. when you said, "the main reason you're in this trap: it's because of advertising money." and at that moment, an add played. you cant make this stuff up.
Thank you for this video
And what about 80s or early 90s digital? This is the real magic!
This is an incredible video and something I needed to hear . Thank you !!!
Sounds tasty!!
A good reminder, in your style no less, thanks!
What is the amp the synth is running through?
Dude your videos are so calming and pleasant. I just want to be your friend now😂
Great video, thanks for sharing your thoughts
Thank you for the reminder of why i started posting to my YT channel - to document a daily practice of creating music. Reactions feel good, but it's a distraction from the actual purpose. That said, yall should go check out my channel if you like lofi ambient guitar music, lol
Social media requires metrics to make money. Instagram needs/wants us to constantly engage with the platform. If we slow down and take our time producing quality content we all will do better. Personally, I need to get away from “pleasing” the platform.
Man this was a vibe. Super cool vid and also, the first song sounds eerily like Fleetwood Macs "Dragonfly". Nice work!
I was the thousandth Like YAY But what I really wanted to write: The video really made me think again. You inspire me every time, you know that. I know sometimes it's not easy for all of us to stick to what we preach and make it our mantra in a way. But we should really try. Everything you say is so true. You are a great guy and I love your videos. You bring me joy, knowledge and inspiration. What more could I want :) Thank you for sharing your passion with me/us Dustyn :) Hugs, Stef
Loved that ending. Thank you for that.
the way to be successful: be part of a scene. Make stuff in the real life. Play your music live.
I’m trying to get more comfortable talking to the camera… I have 60k youtube subscribers and I’m a shy guy! Thanks for the encouragement to start it back up ~ we should do a podcast sometime!
love your stuff man. I suck at music but love doing it for me in my small space. keep up the good work :)
You should do asmr
My wife works in a very social media driven content creation industry (AR/VR) and she hates being forced to make little videos for every little project she works on, but unfortunately clients want. Anyway keep doing it how you are doing it. I love you videos.
