Do you think I can make a whole album with GarageBand or should I just get something better?
Fuck yeah you can!!!!! Probably any program you buy would be better, but you can totally make a whole record on it.
Remember, Sgt. Pepper was recorded on two analog 4-tracks linked together. GarageBand has way more capabilities than 8 tracks of analog.
As far as sound quality...
Holy shit!
Season six is copying the order of character centric episodes from season one!!!!

not all ppl can sing. some ppl are tone deaf:)
It doesn’t matter, they can still sing, no matter how out of tune they are. Besides, you can learn tonality. I know people who used to be tone deaf who are now fully functional singers. I also know many rappers who are tone deaf, and rappers are definitely singers.

Hey in “I didn’t know” by Jenny Owen Youngs what are the instruments in the background? Is there a string section with lots of reverb to make it sound like a 70s funk/Common track? My friends and I are at an impasse!
I’m so glad you asked!!!! That’s probably one of my favorite sounds I’ve ever gotten.
That sound is a string quartet I had...

when did you start to learn music?do you have any music family background? what do you think of taking music as a career?will that affect your writing when it’s like doing for a job instead of writing for youself?
I started piano at five, abandoned it for guitar at seven, and then then started piano again at thirteen. My mother plays a little guitar and my father plays a...

Do you think Andrew’s cuter or Chris?
If I was gay, I’d want to fuck Andrew and marry chris. But still keep Andrew as my mistress. Is that good enough?

Here’re some important songs at important ages:
Age 6: Lou Reed “There Is No Time”
Age 10: The Who “Pinball Wizard
Age 11: Bob Dylan “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright”
Age 13: Alanis...
I feel really bad about this.
I just saw a facebook group called:
Can this Onion Ring get more fans than Justin Bieber?
The page had more than 1.5 million fans in like five days. I didn’t know who he was, so I looked him up. Apparently he’s a 15 year old Canadian pop star. I haven’t heard his music yet, but:
JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE!!!!! HE’S FIFTEEN!!!!
Imagine how he feels/felt/will feel when he...

If you weren’t a music producer/musician/robot pirate, what do you think you’d be doing? What would you want to do?
A writer or an astronomer. I’ve heard astronomy has WAY less aliens than you’d think, though, so probably a writer.

Just got an American standard tele. I finally know what it feels like to be a mother!!!
To humbucker the bridge or not?!?!?
No way, that single coil is going to come in handy and the neck pickup won’t cut it for a true single coil sound. Plus you need the excuse to have more guitars.
That is what I am thinking! This...

Was Purchase really intimidating?
Purchase wasn’t intimidating at all. It was an amazing arts community. When we were frshmen, the only famous person we knew of to come out of there was Moby. Regina Spektor, Dan Deacon, O Death and Langhorne Slim were all Seniors or Juniors when we got there. So we were all just friends working together and showing each other our...

did you meet andrew, jenny etc. from purchase?
Jenny, Andrew and Bess and I were all in music theory class together. I was a freshman when they were sophmores. We became friends my sophmore year. Bess and I became friends because we ended up in a band together where she played flute and I played accordion. Jenny and I had a mutual friend and sat next to eachother in history of...

SOLO RECORD??? I’m intrigued. Can you tell us a bit more? Will it come out this year?
Yes, solo record. It’s gonna be sort of like a new Orleans drum line meets an eastern European folk group trying to play Motown with ziggy stardust conducting. It’s being co-produced by Chris Kuffner. Bess already tweeted the live band set up, but here it is again in case...

Any advice for a young producer in the making?
Make entire records fir really good artists as soon as you can. If you only record an ep or a single, if the artist is ultimately successful, they’ll record those songs for their full length album, possibly with a different producer. Then your work is fir naught. Also, how the instrument sounds is WAY more important than your...

2 songs on constant replay: “Start + Stop” which Miss Youngs does and is just uke. And “This is the New Year” by Ian Axel, which just builds and builds. On any given song there could be so many production choices, how do you make the right one?
Good question. 90% of the time, by the fifth listen of a song, I have an almost complete picture if what I think...

I have a love/hate relationship with click tracks. I use them when I record, but they make me so nervous. What’s the best ways to get over this phobia?
Most people hate playing to clicks! My recording process is to record drums to a click and then never listen to the click ever again. Once the percussion sounds right, there’s no real need for it, except in gaps where...
