• The Monthlies – Come on Eileen

  20Apr
  Categories: For Musicians, H.O.T. News, Industry news, Mastering, Mixing, Music Marketing, Music Reviews View Comments

  

  For about two years now I’ve been working with a fantastic LA based indie/pop band named The Monthlies. Over the past few weeks we’ve been putting the finishing touches on their upcoming EP titled “Horror Flick“, which will include a very cool version of Dexys Midnight Runner’s ‘Come on Eileen’. If you search YouTube for this song you will see that several groups have covered it, but most versions are similar to the original. Not this one!

  The Monthlies, in doing what they do best, have put their own unique spin on this 80’s pop standard. I won’t say much about what you’re going to hear other than if you are expecting an updated rehashing of the Dexys version you’re in for a big surprise. We hope you enjoy The Monthlies version of ‘Come on Eileen‘ and please leave a comment below if you’d like to share your thoughts with the band.

  Nick Miller – Drums

  We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle

  My heart and soul belongs to music. I mix and master records. It’s all I want to do. The more records I mix the better I get. The better I get the better it is for the artists I work with. So my question to you is…

  How can I help you make a better record that you will be extremely proud of?

  Contact me through one of my social profiles on the right or leave a comment below. Let’s talk about how I can help you.

• The concept of FREE.

  It may not be glaringly obvious, but my real mission right now is to help musical artists launch their careers. I want to help musicians who don’t have much experience or much money get a better handle on their sound. Since I’m not a manager or agent or record executive my role is to help you make higher quality sounding records. As I read the three sentences above I noticed one word that keeps popping up. That word is “help”. Musicians, I want to help you. Really. That’s it. So what am I getting at you ask?  I want to talk to you about the concept of FREE.

  Chris Anderson, Editor In Chief at WIRED magazine, came out with a book this week titled Free! Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business. But that’s not what I’m writing about, yet it is what I’m writing about. Here’s my point.

  I have offered my services to many, many people for free. FREE! And only a handful of people are willing to take advantage of this offer. Why is that?

  I know I’m no Pensado, Maserati, Lord-Alge (Chris or Tom), Marroquin or Tan. But unless you’ve worked with me and had a really bad experience why wouldn’t you take advantage of a free offer? I have to admit that I’ve only offered this at my place of business – about 1,200 people – but there are ALOT of musicians there yet most do not reply to my ad. So I’m wondering, do most people see free as being synonymous with cheap? If I posted an ad for $50 mastering do you think I would get more replies?

  What do you think?

• Izotope Ozone 4 kicks arse!

  In case you are not familiar with Izotope Ozone it’s a mastering processing suite made by Izotope. As I just stated, it’s made for mastering, but I use it all the time on an insert on channels when I’m mixing.  This app is so sweet and for only $250, in my opinion, it’s a steal. You can read all about it and download a fully functioning demo from Izotope.com.
