Miami is the game changer of independent music

Don’t get sheepish about promoting your music! You’re super talented.

Brooooo, your hiphop song seems to be FIIIIIIREEEEEEE!!! SIIKKKKKK...

Stoked to hear your new project, as the clip you showed sounded dope! But I really dig content like this, as it’s an area I know little about, but have clients that I’ll be sharing this with that’ll greatly appreciate it.

Hearing some of it strings a bit, but it’s the brutal truth. I’ll always appreciate that about you and JST in general. I think that’s also what superstars this channel from many of the others that are bigger. It’s not what everyone wants to hear BUT it’s what is CURRENTLY NEEDS to be said.

Dude nice style on the voice! Very unique yet still tolerable and most definitely suits you as a person. Incredibly cool dude. I've gone from making metal every day to making beats again recently mostly as a joke and a breather to help with writer's block, but glad to see you've been dabbling in the rap world recently. Good beans brother, keep it goin'!!!!!!!

Hip with JST ,Noice!!!

Bruh I love this channel thank you Miami and Joey

This was fantastic -- thanks!

I've heard it's the beginning of the end with those contracts! Best of luck to you! Dig your sound and Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independance Day, JST! GREAT content, as always - thanks for the info!

You have a great voice for hip hop. I'll be following that

EPIC INFO

Great vid

Man I remember those old Joey Sturgis channel days. There was one video where he broke down glitch effects in Cubase with Morte Et Dabo, There was one of him using a Korg Kaos Pad on Attack Attack and some gang vocals. Little stuff like that. There was one video where the DAW Playback was so much louder than his voice. I was subbed on my older youtube channels, long before the thought of this one was conceived.

Posting a second comment because holy shit you can kill it in any genre I'm guessing after what I just heard. Absolutely love you tenor voice killing it in the metal world and the hip hop game. Please do hyperpop next I'm begging you!!!!!

Another great video! I had an unrelated question though, I was wondering if you had any plugin recommendations to replace finality from JST. Finality has become a staple in my vocal bus but unfortunately after getting an M1 Mac it will no longer work! Literally the only JST plugins that won't work with Rosetta are Finality Advanced/Lite. I've gotten so comfortable with the controls and as something of a noob I'm not sure where to look for something similar. Any recommendations?

Thanks as always Miami _ Video request: Using sends, level TO the send ( FX Track), level OF the send (FX Track) and MIX level on the send track plugin (e.g verb) is there a sweet spot. Send TO FX tracks defaults at -6Db. Do I leave that well alone and adjust FX track level it was sent TO. Sorry, i'm making do but not 100% confident i'm making the best decisions (sounds good though)

Great vid as always. I agree with all point but I have a question: Imagine that you want realese song of many genres like ambience, metal, classical, whatever. Do you create a "composer" account on social/spotify or do you split all "projects"? Thanks!

Great video Joey! I have a new genre of trap and metal that I'm doing. Trying to do something different.

Does anyone remember Roadrunner United? That collab album was INCREDIBLE, something like that nowadays would be so awesome

I moved to Fort McCoy FL last year, I’m in the middle of noooowhere. I wish I could find other metal musicians around here to jam and record with lmao I’m primarily a vocalist. I play bass and guitar too, but nowhere near good enough to write a decent head banger. I cant just put out me shrieking and making guttural noises with nothing to go behind it. Idc how much reverb, compression, or how many layers you add, metal vocals will never sound musical without the actual music. I mean, sure it can be impressive and cool, but you cant jam to just that. When I lived back in Boston, I used to jam with my buddies all the time. I really miss it. Everyone around me in this area listen to country and the oldies lmao I’d scream over a beat, no bs. I actually practiced screaming to songs like Worldwide Choppers to help learn speed and breath control. I’d rap a lot with metal vocals because I saw something to be gained for my own style from it. I have audio gear, own a license for my DAW, I know basic engineering, how my chain should be set up. But I’m not skilled enough for a one man show.

That Collab part though. My blood seethes at the lack of collaboration in metal. Especially as an artist

I so nailed the "BELL!" at the end of the video! 😃

Miami you have to drop that track asap...

I'm pretty sure we're the only deathcore band with a 65-year-old vocalist. Sometimes, what you might think is a weakness is exactly what makes you unique. Don't put barriers on yourself. Hopefully this helps someone else reading this🤘

Helpful video

another one

Hmm, I still don't know the name of Miami's new rap single!

No way am I turnout down a deal brother I wanna blow up

Good on you M. I don’t care if I only have three streams for the rest of my musical career, I have never and will never give a record label a single penny. Robbing b*stards.

Hip hop isn't surprising at all, its all I listen to outside of metal and most metal heads like hip hop.

Ima guess it was from victory records

I hate that everything you are saying is true because i would love nothing more than bands to be able to organically create a following through live music culture and releasing full albums. I guess adapt or die.

Miami your talking about rap not hip-hop dont confuse the two!
