Re: Ideas for TAXI TV Topics
Michael,
While we are on the Taxi TV topic, is there any reason why you can't go direct with the audio that you play on the episodes?
It just seems that with all of the technology out there, the music can be directly injected into the video feed.
If you already spoke about this, pardon the question. I must have missed it.

Re: Ideas for TAXI TV Topics
I'd like to see another episode that features forwarded music only in a variety of genres. Not returns, just forwards.
Specifically I'd like to hear instrumental forwards in the Hip Hop/Trap category, as well as EDM, tension and urban dramedy. And for balance it would also be cool to hear some vocal forwards in a few popular categories.
Maybe ten minutes of each category to feature 3 forwards with time for comments and discussion. Personally, I get bit by the "melody could be more compelling" return... I would like to hear what a compelling hip hop instrumental melody sounds like. I also think it would help newer members understand exactly what is meant by "adding and subtracting musical elements for variety" means.

Re: Ideas for TAXI TV Topics
Why not a show just on mixing methodology, especially since it appears you have that ability as a producer/engineer. Subject could be a simple step-by-step guide that would benefit folks new to mixing. Not so much what type of effects and plugins to use, but a general approach to mixing, i.e., track cleaning, phase correction between tracks, setting up buses and groups, rough mix, applying EQ and compression, then using automation, etc.

Yeah I asked the same on another thread. I love the lo-fi approach but this sounds like a fairly easy thing to setup and it would help so much!Danny wrote:Michael,

Most of the time I have no idea of how the showcased music actually sounds mixing/mastering wise..

Sonora,
Yes. You are right. I would just be happy with hearing the bass track and frequency range.

What I Would Really Like to See Here
Have an episode where a Screener assesses 4-6 listings Rock, Latin, Vintage 80s,Sports, Lullaby and Hip Hop
Although each listing states what is asked for, have the Screener ask What I Would Really Like to See Here is...................
Then go through their feelings and thought processes that would have them forward the submission
What I Really Want to See Here is this.....If I hear it is going through

Re: Ideas for TAXI TV Topics
Hi Michael - you've had some great people on to share mixing tips. How about somebody that really knows how to get that big, current pop sound in songs like Roar, etc. and can give specific tips. I know you can't play copyrighted songs but maybe the speaker could talk about tips and tricks for getting the sounds in specific chart topping songs and we could take notes and then go listen to them. I'm looking for specific things beyond the basics.
Never miss a show. I love it!

Re: Ideas for TAXI TV Topics
Hi Michael,
You read my comment last week on Taxi TV regarding "how not to waste people's time" and I wanted to explain it a bit better. You have tons of tutorials on the basics - but what are some things you and others are seeing that "waste your time" a little - not big enough to put a whole tutorial out, but the little things that may not be common sense. All Stars Pet Peeves if you will.
Thanks!

Re: Ideas for TAXI TV Topics
How about a show featuring recordings done on vintage gear?
Being one who started out with the TEAC 1040S 4 track, what one would do to squeeze as many tracks out of that as possible was always a fun challenge! It made me appreciate my next machine Fostex 8 track and Atari ST sequencer, then on to the Roland VS1680. AND now I await my new PC coming, ready to dive into the DAW world..I am just blown away as to what we have at our fingertips now!
Would be fun to hear others' vintage recordings...what we did to come up with our final mixes...each recording could have notes with it from the composer describing the process and machinery.

Re: Ideas for TAXI TV Topics
As much as I enjoy researching vintage recording techniques and gear, I gotta say that the best reason to do it is to see how we got here, today, and why we use what we use now. Now is the only time that counts; don't stop thinking about tomorrow, but use today to get there.
