So you've been writing songs and making music. Which is AWESOME (so go you!). But up until this point maybe you've been keeping track of all your ideas and sketches in your phone. You've got voice notes and videos begging to be turned into something. But HOW do they leave your phone and get into your computer to enhance them? Where do you start?
Well, you've got to start getting high quality recordings of what you've been writing! This is not as overwhelming as it may sound, I promise. In fact, with all the affordable and approachable tools out there now, this once intimidating process now becomes simple and speedy.
I called today's training a "walkthrough" for a reason... it gets super practical with a hands on approach to home recording. Heck, at one point I even grabbed a guitar and recorded a bit of an impromptu song, just to show you there's nothing to fear!
So if you've been nervous about recording or equipment and all that goes into it, my goal with this video was to be your one stop shop for getting started.
In today's training you'll learn about:
The Great War: Analog vs Digital
Complete home recording layouts (how "this" plugs into "that"... and why)
A workflow to start turning ideas from your phone into songs on your computer
A live demonstration of me recording a song (made it up on the spot!)
Enjoy!
- Nathan

Your album (or playlist) is a journey, a story! The format is the main reason why albums are still very important. When curating an album keep in mind to sequence your tracks to release and build tension, doing this will make the songs leave a more impactful listening effect. If you have a couple of songs that soft, pair that with a couple of songs that are livelier after. However, grouping similar tracks work too.

Step #5: Create flow Not only do you want variety from song to song, you also want to vary up the way your songs segue into each other. Sometimes you want songs to fade out, followed by a few seconds of silence before the next track starts. This is especially good if the song in question is powerful, so listeners will have a chance to digest it all before the next song begins. Other times, you’ll want one song to flow into the next, or perhaps have a song brashly cut to the next one, startling the listener. Again, the White Album offers up a nice mix of segues. “Back in the U.S.S.R.” cross fades into “Dear Prudence.” “The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill” ends abruptly, cutting straight into “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” The variety of songs and segues keep the listener engaged. (By the way, in order to get these segues just right, you’ll want to hire a mastering engineer who will have the tools and experience to handle fades, cross fades, and everything else you need.) Step #6: Break your album into chapters Listeners need a break in the action, otherwise they get overwhelmed. Albums used to have two sides, so artists were forced into telling a story in two, roughly 20-minute chapters (or four chapters for double albums). Today you have the ability to break your album into as many chapters as you want, and keeping them to 20 minutes or less is good practice. To create a suite or chapter, simply have the last song in that chapter fade out or include a grand finale of sorts, then include a few extra seconds of silence before beginning the next. Smile, by Brian Wilson, is nice example of an album that is broken up into three chapters. The songs within each chapter flow directly into each other, but then there is a definite sense of closure to each suite. That’s on blog.discmakers.com/2020/01/how-to-sequence-an-album/

Nathan I listen to tearin up my heart and I want you back by Nsync and in the extended version of I want you back it doesn’t have a chorus but the radio edit it has a chorus but do they both count as telling the story and in your honest opinion why do verse have to split the story like verse 1 like the song my praise by phillips craig and Dean it has bass drum 🥁 and acoustic drum 🥁 and vocals but verse 2 it has more drum 🥁 bass and vocals but why the verse have to split the story not full story?

And also why the verse have to be split into different sections instead of a full story like why every verse have to be seperate not together example verse 1,2,3?

Why the verse have to be split into different sections like verse 1,2,3 etc like why for songwriters to split the story not having a full story for the verse and also in your honest opinion why the chorus is the abstract version of the story and what does abstract mean Nathan hopefully 🙏 you’re doing well to both you and your family.

Why album 💿 sequencing is part of storytelling aka on the jaded edge it said that Think of sequencing as writing a story, it would be odd if in the 1st chapter the characters are introduced, and in the next chapter, they are dead. For your listeners, it would be awkward to hear a soft song that transitions into a heavy fast-paced song. Singles are what attract your listeners, but an album is how you make them into fans. You have worked hard to create and produced every part of your story, so take the time to focus on the sequencing. Listeners will easily skip from one song to the next, you need to give your listeners a reason to stay for the whole story, and not to skip chapters. Is that true that a studio album is a journey or a story?

And also in your honest opinion why is the chorus is the abstract version of a story and in your honest opinion why is the chorus is part of the story and also why is verse 1 and 2 have to get split instead of having a one full story in a verse almost like a script or a play? Also for strophic form in your honest opinion why verse verse verse is very important to the album sequencing and also why in strophic form there is no chorus or bridge like the song 20th century trip by feeder?

I think artists try to sequence their albums in a way they feel best captures the journey they want a listener to go through. Nowadays, this isn't as popular... kind of feels like some artists just try to pack single after single back to back for 10-12 songs. But at it's core, album sequencing can help drive home the main theme of the album. Similar to the chapters of a book 👊🏻
