Piggy-bagging on last week's topic, today's quick tip is all about how to ask for feedback from other's concerning your music production.
There's a couple little tips on doing this, take a listen and let me know if I've missed anything.

Here is a recap of facebook group information for one or more courses you're a part of. Disclaimer. This recap by no means replaces the information in the Facebook Groups. Always refer to them for the most current and accurate information. We do our best to relay what we think is the most important details, but it's very possible for us to overlook something or make a typo in the process. This is just to be used as a quick reference and outline. Enjoy!
Huge thanks to Jan Seides for her help in summarizing the Access Course.

Have you ever played with Synth Pads created from reverse samples? Kind of a strange concept if you've never tried it.
Today I show you an example of using a pad created from reverse samples, through a VI called Output Rev that I recommend.
Creating pads this way gives your production a really cool interest. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

We are now entering the “hurry up and finish a holiday song” season.
And you know what that means... time to dust off the sleigh bells.
Today I want to show you my go-to plug-in for injecting those sleigh bells into your song.
Let me know what you use, I’d be curious!

Outside of audio, it often refers to people who may be shifty, untrustworthy, criminally minded, smelly, jobless, homeless, on the run. This has nothing to do with what we are discussing today.
It's a simple acoustic concept, but most beginning producers don't come across this for quite some time. So let me help save you some time.
Wikipedia defines it like this: "A transient is a short-duration signal that represents a nonharmonic attack phase of a sound source." But for layman's terms, just think of transients as the identifying markers of the sound's timing. This is typically at the beginning. Transients are often used to line up a groove to a beat, or quantize audio.
In today's video I show you how to control the transients in a guitar and tambourine audio file, using a transient shaper.
Go make some great music, and I'll see you next week!

Ok, so here's the deal. BeatsX headphones are way overpriced. This is my very non-technical, non-scientific review of the Beats earbuds compared to my cheap $19 buds I bought on Amazon.
I "A-B" tested the two pairs of headphones listed below and concluded that I liked the sound and total balance of my music better through my Amazon cheap headphones. Go figure.
The $19 Amazon earbuds are these. (they might be discontinued, but these seem to be the same thing)
Here's the $190 Beats X earbuds I am returning.
Here are the songs I compared:
It Ain't Me, by Kygo
Three More Days, by Ray LaMontagne
Feels Good, by Fan Fiqtion
I should mention that the Beats probably will last longer, because of the better build quality. And since they're now owned by Apple, they work great for quickly connecting to your other Apple devices.
But I'm just talking about the sound quality in this video.
Yes, I Zion, loved the cheap ones better. They just sounded better to me. And I can't justify the price of the BeatsX, and so shouldn't you.
