Hi Soundgym Family! This is always my favorite stop of the day. I have a different type of feedback request I am hoping you can help me with. I recently started a YOUTUBE channel for audio engineers where I am hoping to put up content that deals more with skill building and decision making. I am only two videos in but being in front of a camera is far from natural for me as is being brief with my words.
I was hoping for some insight as to length, and the amount of content in the video. I simply love discussing audio and can kinda run on and on...I am also a huge Harry Potter fan if the shirt doesn't give it away,,,,
I understand just how busy everyone is, so if you are reading this and thinking about offering me some insight....Thank you so much.
Some of you might remember me from the early days of the SoundGym community or from collaborating on the Hero articles feature. I'm excited (and a bit nervous) to share something with you all.
Music has always been a huge part of my life. I’d even say it saved me.
Growing up in a rather challenging environment, music became a refuge for me. It was where I could unravel and express emotions and experiences that words alone couldn’t capture.
Over the years, that feeling drove me to dive deeper into music, eventually leading me here to be part of the SoundGym team and help shape the amazing tools we use daily!
But as time went on, the challenges I faced left a mark I couldn’t ignore.
I found myself wanting to understand more about the inner journey behind those moments and how my past shaped who I am today and influenced my vision for the future.
This journey led me to explore not only my own experiences but also the broader human adventure.
I've recently started an Instagram channel where I share my thoughts and insights regularly (and I’ve got some cool surprises in the works too!).
Your support would mean the world to me, so if you're up for following along and seeing what's next, I'd be thrilled to have you there.
Hey, Yohai! After all the SG & TG Heroes you've convinced (for good) to open our doors to both communities, it was time for you to allow everyone to learn a little more from you, wasn't it? 😬 Although I'm not a regular user of any social media, I'll be following your Instagram channel to find out what are you 'cooking' there... I truly hope you can show more of your house, because that stairway to your living-room is quite impressive, according to this pic...😜
I wish you the best at this project. Good luck!
PS. I completely forgot to confirm the arrival of my Championship T-Shirt: sorry about that!
Need objective opinion about the mix of the original song
Hi there!
I would really appreciate it If some of you guys and girls could take the time and post your opinion about the mix of the song posted below. That would mean a lot to me. Some “fresh” ears are always welcome, when working on mixes... Thanx!
Hi, interesting Song, cant say i have super much experience with that kind of genres. I would maybe get the piano a bit more in the background, mostly be reducing the volume a little bit and maybe adding a bit more room. But mostly in volume, in the later parts it really dominates and drowns out the rest of the song imo. i really like the bass, the pattern played and the sound work well for me. the toms also sound good and the snare is not bad as well, maybe have it (sn) a little louder? For the cymbals, i think they can work just as well a little quieter overall. During single hits its not as bad but when played a bit more, it whashes outother stuff. Goes for more or less all cymbals imo.
All that is subjective of course but that would be my thoughts. All in all you did a good job!
things are sounding a little robotic to me...maybe work on some adding some human elements to your MIDI. the elements dont sound like their style if that makes sense; like, the kick is almost a rock or metal sounding kick and you have a jazzy hip hip vibe going on.
