Tips and Tricks 11 - Should You Work With A Producer?
This week I wanted to talk a bit about the benefits of working with a producer. Now your first thought may be "why should I or my band work with a producer? We know what we are about." You are not wrong. You do know what you're about, and the producer's job is to help you bring that out to its fullest potential.
Throughout my years as a musician and recording engineer, I have made many mistakes, and I have watched many new bands make the same mistakes. I want to help newer bands that are starting out make the best use of their time, and reduce stress while working together. The music industry has changed drastically, and the rules and methods of the 80s and 90s no longer work.
Someone requested more Soilwork, so I figured why not tackle the main single off of Figure Number Five. Rejection Role was an awesome track and its always a blast trying to spit what Björn 'Speed' Strid laid down on some of the most influential albums for me. Let me know how I did.

A few years ago I did a cover of Dig by Mudvayne, and I wanted to one-up myself by doing another cover of it. But this one is the Live version from the "By The People For The People" B sides and rarities album Mudvayne put out. You think the original is fast, wait till you listen to this one.

Welcome to my first ever GEAR DEMO VIDEO.
I had my friend Jordan in the studio a few weeks ago to help Re and I show you this brand new distortion pedal that was created by German producer Kristian Kohle and German boutique pedal manufacturer KLIRRTON.
We make 5 different tones, show you how we are getting our tones, and then let you hear them without any additional processing. then to end the video off we let you hear all the tones with some eq and compression to really let you hear what this pedal can do.
Wanna get that tone? Head over to the Klirrton shop!
This pedal kicks some serious ass. Go check yours right now!

Happy New Year everyone, I hope you were able to enjoy the holiday season the best you could. For this week's vocal cover I decided to do one of my favourite In Flames songs. I found @In Flames through guitar hero 3, but the first records I bought were the Subterranean Ep and the Lunar Strain Ep. Immediately after that I found Clayman, and the moment Bullet Ride started, I was hooked. This was probably my most played album of 2010.
I hope you enjoy the cover. Please Subscribe, Thumbs up, and leave a comment with a song suggestion.
