Title: Hi from my home studio in Sunny Devon, UK
Post by: Cawproductions on March 09, 2017, 07:43:59 PM
Hi all,
My name is Andy and I have a home studio, currently songwriting with a friend of mine, Rosanna Eastman. Trying to cover a range of genres that suit her voice.
She is my main vocalist and keys player, I co write with her and produce the backing tracks, including mixing and mastering.
More along the rocks side of things, I co write with a buddy of mine Mike also.
Recently I have been recording with Jason Ward, check his stuff out below too.
Anyway, Thanks for taking the time to read this and please checkout our current tracks on the links below.
Enjoy

Yo Andy,some well produced songs in your resume.

Welcome along to here and hopefully to share your expertise.

Unless I'm missing a trick,your stuff has depressingly few listens given the quality of the work.

I have to wonder....

I expect we'll not be seeing much of you on the forum.

Hi Skub
Yes I would like a lot more listens but that is a tricky thing to achieve given that so many people can record music from their own home now.

The reason I joined the forum was to chat with other like minded musicians about getting more plays, collaborating and just connect with people of the same interest.

I hope this is a place where that could maybe happen.
BTW thanks for the comment on the quality of our work, Myself and the other guys I make music with wanted to produce the best we can achieve.

Cheers
Andy

Welcome to the Forum - pretty new here myself. As others have said, great quality work.  I'm only just getting into song writing and home recording and cramming in as much learning as I can.  Hope to see you around the Forum, and always looking to collaborate, although I primarily see myself as a lyricist.

Hi Mike
Just checked your track on Bandcamp, really nice sound, nice track too.

Yeh happy to help I have been playing around with producing for about 15 years and only recently do I feel I kind of know what I am doing and the mixes are coming out ok, or comparable to commercial mixes.

Its a massive learning curve, only happy to share what I have learnt.

I play Guitar, Drums, produce and write, so if I can help, give us a shout

Cheers.
Andy

Welcome Andy and hope you'll like it here.

And yes, some quality produced stuff you've got there, your songs sounds fabulous and I'm sure you'll be an asset to this place. Is it possible for you to narrow down that 15 year knowledge of yours to say...2-3 weeks and then somehow transfer that to my ill functioning human hard drive? I think I might have one or two kb's left unused.  I had 3kb from the get go. ;D ;D ;D

Cheers,

Peter

Just listened to your stuff. Sounds great.

It's nice to be chatting with like minded peeps.

Cheers
Andy

Bit late to this party, but hey! Hello! welcome to the forum. Just wanted to say HOME STUDIO <3 Something about those two words makes my heart jump every time. I'm currently operating out of a tiny windowless bedroom in my parent's house, so you can imagine the envy.

Look forward to seeing and hearing you around

Hi jack
I started the very same way.
I have heard your stuff man and it's great. So fair play to you.

All the gear in the world can't make creativeness.

But hell yeh. I would love a massive console to lean against and look cool.

Hi Andy,
Hello from Bali. I always want to have my own home recording studio, but I am not a full time artist. I write songs as a hobby, so having a recording studio is a bit too much for me. Looking forward to hear your work.

Cheers,
