    Josh is a prime example of how much work self-employed folks have to put in order to not have a job. As a musical noob I thought the work was merely thousands of hours of practice to play all the right notes ,but I guess that only gets you half way there, which makes me twice as appreciative of all of Josh's videos.

    3:22 I think the reason they played much louder in the past is because the noise floor of tape was so much higher than that of digital recording. So playing softly means that when you add extra gain in the mix the noise floor comes up significantly as well.

    • @JoshTurnerGuitar

    As a total non-musician this is fascinating. The amazing sound Josh pulls off recording in the middle of a park or on a street corner is beginning to become clear to me now…. My impression he must either know magic or have the world’s most singularly expensive microphone was perhaps, uhm, overly simplistic. It’s just that his genius and scope of expertise are broader than I recognized.
    I’m obviously not the intended audience for this one, and some of what he said may as well have been in Aramaic to me, but it was cool to see some of the back end and fun to try to listen for the differences. It’s a window into a different perception of sound and music.
    Josh, if you happen to read this - many thanks for posting this video!

    • @kevinjoshua9728
      @kevinjoshua9728 9 місяців тому

      It's one of the thing my non-musician friends are usually surprised about. Unprocessed recording sounds nothing like the songs they heard on spotify and most musicians have a bit of know how in audio engineering, which just come with the job. After all, if a performance isn't recorded then it doesn't "exist" (to be heard again by others).

    When you applied the 1Khz cut it tickled my ears in such a good way! I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and was transported back to 1970 (12 years before I was born).
    The tone you created with some *gentle* digital massage was so warm and comforting and it just hits that je ne sais quoi. It scratches the musical itch.
    Thwack on!

    I'm 76. I used a Vox AC 30 and a Gibson SG Junior (it only had one pickup) and I got a wahwah pedal (still have it- still have them all except the SG that fell and broke in the Marshall shop in Hanwell, London in the mid 60s) and I was rocking with my mates in the local community centre around Greenford and Ealing. Progress has left me behind over the horizon. I have been enjoying Josh music for years, and had no idea of the science behind what he did. Josh guitar music was all I thought - though, to be fair, I think that is what I am meant to think, just hear the music. Great work Josh, Reina, Toni and the others. Amazing work and dedication to the craft of making music.

    You nailed it nailed it nailed it. I wanted to get a time machine so I could go to 1978 and buy this album! Also, I learned so much during your DAW session that technicians were never able to explain to me. (f.i. what pre delay does on a reverb.) Much to be said for a technically inclined musician pointing these things out. It's all MUSIC, including the mixing and EQing and compressing and reverbing. Sounds like these disciplines didn't always use to be as separated as they are today.

That subtle reverb and chunky recording tape effect is just awesome. We hear the results, but we almost never get to see all that goes into it. I grew up on that vintage acoustic “thwack of yore” and I just love it! Thank you! 😃
