For me, music is more than a job or a hobby. It's my comfort, and it's my lifestyle. 🎧️⁠
⁠
Had a great day? Music. Horrible day? Also music. Celebrating? Relaxing? You guessed it, music.⁠
⁠
Music has the power to bring people together, express unspoken emotions, and become anthems for the hearts of millions. It's an endless passion, and I'm so glad I fell down the rabbit hole.⁠

Have you ever been stuck in a creative rut? ✏️⁠
⁠
As an artist, it happens to me all the time. However, it's important not to get too discouraged. Here are a few ways I get out of a rut when I'm working on music!⁠
⁠
🌲 Take a walk. Getting outside and breathing some fresh air always helps clear my head, and moving around gets the blood flowing again. ⁠
⁠
👀 Get another set of eyes. Sometimes the answer is so obvious, but only when someone else has a look. Getting an objective opinion can sometimes be invaluable. ⁠
⁠
⚡️ Do something weird with it. Sometimes we get so stuck in making something sound and feel 'appropriate' that we forget what we're really here to do: have fun and be creative. Sometimes you just need to toss on that obnoxious autotune or compress the guitars to high hell. You might not keep it, but it can get you thinking outside the box again ⁠
⁠
How do you get out of a creative rut? Drop your tips down below. 👇⁠

Working with The Heels on this record was such a fantastic experience. The Heels are a three-part pop-country outfit that specialize in truly exceptional vocal harmonies. 🎤⁠

Tracking drums on this record was so much fun, and the whole album turned out fantastic front to back!

"Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words, it speaks in emotions” --Keith Richards⁠ 🎸⁠
⁠
To me, how a record sounds is only part of the equation. I love working with talented artists and helping them refine the emotional centre of their music. ⁠
⁠
And only once that emotion is front and centre, can I consider my work done.⁠

Imagine: ⁠
⁠
You're on hour 18 in the studio. Everyone's working hard. You're ready to sleep for a million years. ⁠
⁠
The key player has just rung out the last chord to finish the record. Did they nail the take?
⁠
The producer turns over and gives you this wink. You're done. You're finally done.⁠
⁠
When was the last time you had a moment like this? ⁠😅⁠

These days, there are near-countless ways to set up your studio for recording. Many people make use of standalone audio interfaces, which are relatively simple devices that allow you to record to a computer. 🎙⁠
⁠
However, for more elaborate recording set-ups, such as recording full bands, I can't recommend a dedicated mixer like this one enough.⁠
⁠
Not only can mixers act as a recording interface, but they have the added benefit of physical controls being in reach at all times. Is an instrument sounding too quiet or too loud? Simply turn the corresponding dial -- no need to mess around with the computer!⁠
⁠
For me, having the right equipment at my disposal is crucial. Knowing that I have all the tools I need for any situation is a huge help, and it could be just what you need to get your next project off the ground. 🎵⁠

When recording vocals, the first thing most people think about is how they sound against the track. But any experienced producer will also spend a lot of time listening to vocals in isolation!⁠⁠ Listening to vocals on their own is essential when producing them. Some changes you'll make will be very subtle, so it's important to be able to hear those details as you go. 🎛 ⁠⁠Plus, when the vocals sound this good, I don't mind doing it at all!⁠⁠Stay tuned for updates on this latest track with Georgia Dion! (@georgiadionnn) 🎧⁠⁠📸 ⁠⁠#CandyAppleProductions⁠ #VancouverMusic candyappleproductions.com

Some more behind-the-scenes of working⁠ on vocals for the amazing Georgia!⁠⁠ Just listen to those harmonies! 😍⁠⁠Stay tuned for this track to release! 🎵

Nothing brings me joy quite like seeing old-school gear in action. And this SSL FX G384 compressor is the perfect example. 🎶⁠ ⁠ I like mixing up the tools I use as much as the next producer, but I'm gonna be honest...
