BluesmanRick Rick Engler High River, AB Somewhere I read that SoundCloud is the DIY of the music world. Very true for most of us wannabe (famous) musicians. For those who were lucky enough to spend years in an actual sound studio, maybe this is a slam dunk. For the rest of us, it's like being the Wright brothers before they fully understood science behind aerodynamics much less get a machine to fly. I have learned a lot in 2018 thru 2019 while playing at small, local venues. It's a lot easier to sit back in a "recording studio". I do put that in quotes since, for me, this is just a couple of microphones connected to a DAW which is connected to a computer with some multi-track software and some free plugins to enhance the finished product. I believe there are about 5 unique disciplines to learn which include: playing an instrument, singing, doing both together, using a microphone, connecting with the audience. I have much more respect for stage performers now, especially solo artists. Now, if one adds the discipline of recording engineer, well then, you have a well rounded musical background. I do hope that you enjoy some of my tunes. I'm always happy to hear from listeners who have something meaningful to share, even when it is not particularly flattering or in someway odd. I'll even try to answer any questions you may have. Remember that you are never too old nor too young to create and share your music and/or share your knowledge.
