Hi ,
It's been a while since we've done an "Ask Michael Anything" on TAXI TV, so that's exactly what we're going to do on today's show! Ask me anything about TAXI, engineering & production (from the mics and wires aspect), or the music licensing business, and I'll do my best to give straight-ahead, helpful answers.
Btw, I was at a session at the Foo Fighters' private studio a few days ago and had my mind blown! I'm going to tell you all about that and show you some photos of the control room, live room, guitar amps, and especially the vintage Neve recording console Dave Grohl bought from the legendary Sound City studio when it closed its doors.
Other stuff I'll be talking about...
Want to know how many tracks you really need before music libraries take you seriously? I get that question all the time, and frankly, the answer will surprise you! And, I’m going to tell you today.
If you wonder why some perfectly good songs never get licensed, I can tell you that at 4 pm today, as well. I'll also tell you how long it typically takes to see your first placement — and what affects that timeline.
Want to know how to make home recordings sound more “expensive” without buying new gear? The answer to that one is so easy, you’re going to kick yourself for not thinking of it all by yourself. And the answer is right up there with the fastest way to improve your mixes without touching a plugin.
A couple more… Want to know what successful TAXI members do between submissions, or a mixing habit I wish I’d broken sooner?
These are the types of questions I’ll be happy to answer, and anything else you’ve got! Viewers love these episodes, and I always have fun doing them.
