Hi, and welcome to the Sound of Gold. I'm so

8
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.679
glad that you are here with me today. It is Monday,

9
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.399
and I am here recording in my music studio in

10
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.599
my home. I'm here with my Cali, and I've had

11
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:10.000
some adjustments on my where my computer is sitting, so

12
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.000
you might not see CALLI, but I promise you she's

13
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.640
right here, sitting with me at my piano. Here my

14
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.760
music studio. There you go. You can see her a

15
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.120
little bit. And if you're just listening, she's here with me.

16
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.719
So thank you for joining me. And if you know

17
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.959
you know, if you're new, welcome, well of course, if

18
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.560
you've been here before, welcome also.

19
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:32.239
The Sound of.

20
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.239
Goals is focused on music, musicians, music venues, music schools,

21
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:41.680
music teachers, music composers, music everything, and music is all

22
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:43.560
around us. No matter where we go, what we do,

23
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.599
there are sounds. There's the birds outside, the wind blowing

24
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.159
in the trees. That's a sound of music. That's you know,

25
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.799
you go to the store, there's music in the store.

26
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.599
And there's so many of us that are musicians that

27
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.599
we get to play or we're students to be better musicians,

28
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.239
and it is such a beautiful way to express ourselves.

29
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.680
And other than being a radio show host, I'm also

30
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.080
a music teacher and I always tell my students, you know,

31
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.680
you no matter what you do, at the end of

32
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.479
your day, no matter what kind of day you've had,

33
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.400
it's always nice to sit down at your instrument. I

34
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.520
love the piano. That's my favorite instrument. So I'll say

35
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.199
sit at the piano or if you have a guitar, violin,

36
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.439
whatever instrument you have, and just express yourself through music.

37
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.400
And it's a good outlet. You know, we all deal

38
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:41.039
with stuff Facebook and all the social social media. We

39
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:45.039
post all this great stuff and oh, you know, people look.

40
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:49.319
So wonderful and and you know, we get to post

41
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:54.479
our strides and our alkaloids, if that's the right way

42
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:54.960
to say it.

43
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.479
And we don't always post the stuff like but the

44
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.280
hard stuff that we go through and we think, oh,

45
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.639
somebody else has got it made or not. But we

46
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.319
all have a story, we all have stuff that we're

47
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.800
dealing with. And I really think it's the attitude that

48
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.400
we keep and the music and the people that we

49
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.800
surround ourselves with. And especially if you are a musician,

50
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.719
you know that performing and playing is just such such

51
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:26.240
an easy way to let go of stuff and feel free.

52
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.520
Or even if you don't play an instrument, you get

53
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.879
to sit down and listen to music you love. It

54
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.319
just connects with you at a level. For all of us,

55
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.520
it connects with us at a level where we just

56
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:38.639
feel understood.

57
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:39.120
Right.

58
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.280
So, no matter where you are in the world today,

59
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.439
whether you're with me here on Monday, and for those

60
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.439
of you that are here with me on Monday, it's

61
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.960
the end of the Monday. Monday is usually the busiest

62
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.840
days of the work week. And I have a guest

63
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.800
that I can't wait to welcome on today. But before

64
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.159
I introduce my guest today, I'm going to play piano

65
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.400
for you for a little bit. So come on and

66
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.919
have a seat. If you are not already, if you're driving,

67
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.360
you're already sitting. If you're in a space and a

68
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.800
place where you can close your eyes and relax, wonderful.

69
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.759
And if you are in a place where you're not

70
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.279
able to close your eyes, like driving, don't do it,

71
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.680
but do listen and hope that came out right. And

72
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.399
I'm so glad you're here. So I don't have anything

73
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.639
practiced or memorized. I'm playing from my heart and I'm

74
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.360
picking up energy that you're sharing with me right now.

75
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.839
For those of you that are with me here today

76
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.000
to sit back, relax.

77
00:06:32.560 --> 00:08:49.480
Er, give me.

78
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:32.039
H m hmm.

79
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.840
Thank you for tuning in today. And I have a

80
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.720
very special guest that will be joining me. And that

81
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:43.720
was just a little something I played. In fact, I'm

82
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:47.120
just I just created it, composed it. Now I'm gonna

83
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:51.120
call it, uh, Monday. I'm not gonna say Monday Madness

84
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:53.440
because that kind of gives it a negative, I think,

85
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:57.799
a negative title. So I'm just gonna call it Monday.

86
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.759
And I have a very special guest on today. And

87
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:07.600
my guest today is not only a local in my

88
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.679
community here in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, but he is

89
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.399
also a great support to all the musicians locally and

90
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:21.480
worldwide because I have mister Jim Breen joining me today

91
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:25.799
from Trade Winds Studios. And I'm so excited because I

92
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.080
have so many friends and family that have worked with

93
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.200
him and that have recorded in his studio. And I

94
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.799
promise you, for those of you that are just stepping

95
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.559
out into the music world and just looking to record

96
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.720
your music, I promise you, it is not that hard.

97
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.240
It is not as hard as you think. And he

98
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:47.279
happened to be he happened to have over booked his

99
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.440
schedules today and so he will be joining us in

100
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.039
a few minutes. And so until then, you get a

101
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.080
special treat today because I get to play for you

102
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.559
a little bit more. And so again we're wherever you are.

103
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.840
Whatever you're doing, made my music bring some peace and

104

joy and some light into your life right now. And yeah,

The day and the.

107
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.080
Danger the.

108
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.879
Notes, G and M go.

109
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.039
And don't.

110
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:48.240
In a.

111
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.519
Thank you for joining me today. This is the sound

112
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.039
of Gold and we focus on music and everything that

113
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.759
has to do with musicians and frequencies and vibrations. And

114
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:49.960
I got to listen to something earlier today on Instagram

115
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:55.720
video about how they're doing more studies on not so

116
00:14:55.799 --> 00:15:01.080
much the sound of music, but even more, even deeper

117
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.679
than that, is the frequency, the frequency of the vibrations

118
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:10.200
of the sound, and how we as human beings connect

119
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:14.799
to sound and how we can truly heal through sound. There,

120
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.120
if I can remember them correctly, there were five five compounds,

121
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:26.120
five chemical compounds that they mentioned, and it was hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon,

122
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.480
and I'm going to forget one more mentioned, but there's

123
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:36.759
one more that they mentioned that really, when we break

124
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:40.519
down the chemical compounds of the human of what we're

125
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:45.120
made of, all the way down to our cellular level,

126
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:52.120
sound music is healing beyond what we are just talking

127
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:55.039
about now. I mean, there's so much more studies going

128
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:59.120
into into this, and I'm excited to see where it goes.

129
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:01.480
And I only know so much. I just know that

130
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:03.879
I love playing music, and I love to be here

131
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:06.600
and playing for you, and I love to listen to

132
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:10.960
music as well and for my audiences out there. If

133
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.879
you're no matter where you are, what you're feeling, whether

134
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.000
you play an instrument or you don't. Okay, let's say

135
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:22.639
you don't play an instrument, find music that meets you

136
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.399
where you're at, right, So if you're having a tough

137
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.519
day and you need something that's going to kind of

138
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:31.159
bring you down and relax, you find music that you

139
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:33.679
can connect with. If you're having kind of a crazy

140
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.879
day and you feel like sometimes just screaming, maybe I

141
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.799
don't know, maybe listen to ac DC or something like that.

142
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.960
But find music you can connect with on a daily basis.

143
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.279
And if you're it's healthy to kind of take a

144
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.720
break during the day. And sometimes we get so overwhelmed

145
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.360
and so busy that we can't get away, we can't

146
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.559
take that break. But maybe we all have a cell

147
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.000
phone or we all have some kind of device where

148
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:02.120
we can program something where we can listen to music

149
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.720
that meets us where we're at. And I promise you,

150
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.359
I really think that that will help you overcome whatever

151
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.240
you're dealing with. And again, we all deal with something.

152
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.119
It doesn't matter who we are, where we are. We're

153
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.960
human and it's part of our being human that we

154
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.400
deal with things. And keeping a positive attitude and keeping

155
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.400
ourselves calm and being kind to ourselves and being patient

156
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:29.160
with ourselves helps us see through the different things that

157
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.480
we deal with on a daily basis. And music. Music

158
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:40.000
is everything when it comes to pning into into healing ourselves.

159
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:43.039
So more of that to come, and I can't say

160
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:45.559
more about that today because I only know as much

161
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.640
as I know. So while we're waiting for my guests,

162
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:53.160
mister Jim Breen from Trade Winds Music Studios again, if

163
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.599
you're just tuning in, his schedules overlap today and he

164
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.400
overschedules himself, so he will join us shortly.

165
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:00.799
In the mean time, I.

166
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:05.720
Guess to play for you, and I'm thinking sunshine and rainbows,

167
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:10.119
happiness and love and made my music send that good

168
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:12.880
vibes to you, whether they're here with me on Monday

169
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:47.440
or watching this recorded on another day. Enjoy, h.

170
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:25.920
Don't do, Don't don't.

171
00:20:44.960 --> 00:22:57.440
Da, dang in Dan.

172
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:09.799
Thank you for joining me today on the Sound of Gold,

173
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.960
and I get to play for you for a bit

174
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:16.119
of a time today, and I'm so excited because I

175
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:18.720
used to play so much more and I don't do

176
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:21.960
that as much because my schedule is on overload and

177
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:25.400
I'm okay with that. However, I miss playing for my

178
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:29.079
audiences out there. So today's a special treat for you.

179
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.599
As we're waiting for my guest and he will be

180
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:36.480
joining us shortly, and we appreciate your patience and in

181
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.079
the meantime, sit back, relax wherever you are, whatever you're doing,

182
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.440
send you much love and peace and joy in your day.

183
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:47.279
And no matter what you're going through, remember, no matter

184
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:50.640
how great somebody looks, we're all dealing with something right,

185
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:54.680
and so always remember to smile in your heart, keep

186
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.920
that love and peace within yourself. You come first, right,

187
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:00.000
You wait a wait with yourself. You go to sleep

188
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:04.000
with yourself. So be so kind to yourself, be patient,

189
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.519
be loving with yourself, and always try and make an

190
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.640
extra effort to smile at somebody else today, because sometimes

191
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:20.680
we don't feel like smiling, and sometimes that's all we

192
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:25.200
need to get through a day. In fact, we were

193
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.240
driving the other day and there was a homeless man

194
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.920
on the street and on the sign it said need

195
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.480
money or just a smile, And it kind of touched

196
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:37.799
me so much because I thought, it doesn't take anything

197
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:43.039
to smile. Really, it doesn't take anything to smile and

198
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:46.240
make somebody's stay. So remember that.

199
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:32.240
Who don't.

200
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:59.799
Still don't it.

201
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:18.680
Don't take it, don't do.

202
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:49.680
Contenta don't take a different no, no.

203
00:28:20.039 --> 00:29:13.680
Meat th.

204
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:28.519
Thank you for tuning in today. If you're just tuning in. Welcome,

205
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:31.440
if you've been here, thank you. And I have a

206
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:34.319
very special guest that we are waiting for. He overbooked

207
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:39.119
his schedule, mister Jim Breen from Trade Win, Trade Win Studio,

208
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:43.559
and say it right. So as we are waiting for him,

209
00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:46.799
I get to play piano for you. And our subject

210
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:51.000
today is about what it takes to get into a

211
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:55.359
recording studio, and I would have to say, from what

212
00:30:55.559 --> 00:31:00.079
I know, there are probably different price ranges, right, and

213
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.000
then depending on how many people you have in a

214
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:08.720
band and what you're recording, I think all those come

215
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:13.799
into factors. If you're just one person and you're looking

216
00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:19.160
to record your voice, singing or playing an instrument, I

217
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:23.160
don't know the different prices, and from my experience, I

218
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:27.559
will say that to get into recording studio is not difficult.

219
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:31.359
It is as easy as making a phone call, scheduling

220
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:35.519
and showing up and then of course finding out what

221
00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:39.440
the cost will be. And I Trade One Studios, I

222
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:42.559
do not know the costs, and even if I did,

223
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:47.920
I believe, like most other businesses and industries, it is

224
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.160
custom to you. It is custom to what you are creating.

225
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:56.799
It is custom to what you are presenting, and it

226
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:00.920
varies whether you're just doing a single song, a whole album,

227
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:05.640
whether you're doing video, whether you're doing commercial film. There

228
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:10.119
are so many different dynamics that go into price ranges

229
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:13.359
for showing up and recording in a studio. But I

230
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:16.200
will say it is not difficult, which I've already said,

231
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:18.960
it's not difficult. It's just a phone call. It's just

232
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:21.920
a phone call to a schedule and find out. Find

233
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:24.799
I mean, what would it take to just get the

234
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:28.279
information to get started right. Once you step into what

235
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:33.319
you want, the momentum starts rolling and then you find

236
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:36.119
out things you didn't know before. And I will say

237
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:38.759
this for myself, and I know many of you out

238
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:42.519
there will agree that once you start finding out and

239
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:46.440
taking the steps forward, it's not as difficult and scary

240
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:49.880
as we thought it was. Right, Anything new, anything we

241
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:52.000
don't know that we think about that we want to

242
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:54.839
do or think about doing, or I think it's too

243
00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:58.240
far out there, too far out of reach, is not.

244
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:02.359
It's just a matter of getting past the fear, and

245
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:06.160
that fear we create ourselves, right, We limit ourselves by

246
00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:10.519
creating this belief system of fear that we might think

247
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.000
something about something or not know anything about. And anyway,

248
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:17.519
I'm just kind of rambling on here. But for those

249
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:19.680
of you out there that want to step forward and

250
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.599
get into a recording studio, I don't know much about

251
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:26.799
recording studios, but I do know it just takes a

252
00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:30.440
phone call to schedule and to find out what it's about.

253
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:34.039
There's no charge to get a consultation to find out

254
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:38.079
what you want to create and how the studio and

255
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:42.240
the artist that work at the music studio can do

256
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:46.559
for you. Right, So it's not. In fact, I have

257
00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:57.359
mister Jim calling me right now. Hey Jim, okay, So

Nice to be with you.

278
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:50.079
I just stepped down at the studio. We were recording

279
00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:54.440
a great local band Comport Saint Lucy called the Soul

280
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:58.159
Nates s O L E m a t e S.

281
00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:02.760
And we had a great day cracking drums in my

282
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:06.480
recording studio with a wonderful local studio.

283
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:09.400
Drummer and percussionist named Neil Shukla.

284
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:13.960
And it's uh, it's it was a beautiful day and

285
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:16.760
it's been a great session and had a lot of.

286
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:19.480
Fun with it. So and I'm excited to be here

287
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:20.400
on your show now.

288
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:22.920
Well, thank you, and I'm sorry we can't see you

289
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:24.920
and you're not able to log on, but we can

290
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:28.239
hear you. And we were just talking Jim that it's

291
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:31.239
not that hard to get into a studio. It's just

292
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:33.639
it's a matter of a phone call. Can you tell

293
00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:35.760
us a little bit more about what it takes to

294
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:40.000
make a connection with you and and maybe schedule to

295
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:42.400
get into your studio or across the board?

296
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:48.000
What is it to Yeah? Yeah, so so basically it's

297
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:51.920
what I usually do is when when people have a

298
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:56.480
project that they need to work on, unusually available.

299
00:36:56.320 --> 00:37:03.039
For a phone call and a chance to and they

300
00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:05.519
choose to kind of go through all.

301
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:08.480
Of their needs and what they're doing.

302
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:11.559
Sometimes people in this day and age, there's a lot

303
00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:16.239
of people who write music, who sing and possibly even

304
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:20.880
play an instrument or something, maybe they're a keyboard player

305
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.079
or whatever, and they.

306
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:26.159
Sing, but they don't have access to a band. So

307
00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:29.000
we kind of do that. We kind of like provide

308
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:33.960
the band. I have drummers and drummers and.

309
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:40.440
You still there, Yes, I'm here. Yeah, Oh we lost

310
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:45.079
mister jam Oh. No technical difficulties, I tell you. You

311
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:48.960
know what, It's wonderful that we have all the technology

312
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:51.400
that we can connect and it doesn't matter where we

313
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:55.159
are in the world. However, stuff happens, right, stuff happens,

314
00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:57.800
and then it makes it not fun. So Let's try

315
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:02.719
calling this Jim Breen back. All right, we were just

316
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:09.960
talking to him. We're trying to call him back.

317
00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:13.519
It makes it's easier if he calls into.

318
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:18.920
Okay, what's the number at the studio or are we

319
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:20.119
sharing that the rest.

320
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.159
Of the world they can call it doesn't matter.

321
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:26.199
Nine eight five Wait wait, wait, let me get to him.

322
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:29.199
See if I can get him on Facebook. This is

323
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:32.920
like comedy. This is like it should be the Sound

324
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:35.800
of Gold comedy show. Okay, what is the number?

325
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:39.920
Nine eight five three two zero three one two.

326
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:46.039
Eight two eight okay, oh the studio? All right, ladies

327
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:49.480
and gentlemen. I'm so sorry. Things happen, and I appreciate

328
00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:50.159
your patience.

329
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:56.800
I should know is with life, things happen and we

330
00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:00.239
roll with it, and we we create what we can can.

331
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:04.320
And that is about the music industry, isn't it not

332
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:07.519
like you create what you can, You roll with what

333
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:11.239
comes to you, and that's keep going and make it happen.

334
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:15.440
That's it. That's what it is. And what's even funnier,

335
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:18.119
and it's not funny, is that we as adults we

336
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:22.239
get so frustrated when things like mess up, Like as

337
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:24.320
an adult, like if it's not perfect. It's like, oh,

338
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:27.760
why you know it's wrong? But you know what, I

339
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:33.360
was reading this book Bye by Josh turn It you

340
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:36.280
can play music, and he mentions in the book he says,

341
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:39.360
you know, we get so frustrated as adults, but as kids,

342
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:41.639
like you get something wrong, you go back and you

343
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:43.960
just keep doing it until you get it right. And

344
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:46.840
as adults we forget that. We like, no, God, do

345
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:49.280
it once and get it right. But it's it's not that,

346
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:52.079
it's just keep showing up, keep trying. That's what it's

347
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:53.519
all about. We're all big kids.

348
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:57.679
The problem is we think that perfect exists and perfect

349
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:02.639
does not exist. Ever, it's what we accept to be perfect.

350
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:06.360
So we need to make sure that we can see

351
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:10.400
things no matter what. And if things don't go the

352
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:13.079
way you thought they were going to go the first time,

353
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:16.920
it's because it wasn't supposed to happen that way. It's

354
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:19.639
opening a new door for you. It's the way you

355
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:24.039
frame your thinking about things and see how it's going

356
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:28.360
to go. And your reaction to things that happen is

357
00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:32.280
your responsibility. Things that happen. I'm always in our control.

358
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:36.880
That's so true. That's so true. And being accountable, Yes,

359
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:39.519
for your reactions. Like triggers come up in all of

360
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:42.119
us or for no matter who you're dealing with or

361
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:44.679
living with, the triggers come up. Oh Jim's calling again.

362
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:48.440
Hi Jim, I was talking.

363
00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:50.119
I'm not sure when we lost each other.

364
00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:55.280
We lost you a few minutes ago. Were trying to

365
00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:55.960
call you back.

366
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.360
We were at how to book an appointment with you

367
00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:02.320
in your studio?

368
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:05.400
Oh boy? Okay?

369
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:09.639
So yeah. So basically when people call up, I try

370
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:13.559
to determine what they need. If it's a set band

371
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.280
and they've been together for a long time and they've

372
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:21.320
been rehearsing, that's one scenario that we can basically get

373
00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:24.639
them in, set everything up, get levels.

374
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:27.559
And then get a product pretty quickly.

375
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:30.599
Because they know what they're going to do and they've

376
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:35.400
got all the instrumentalists and vocalists in place. They might

377
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:38.800
need a producer to make a few suggestions and help

378
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:40.119
with the arrangements a little bit.

379
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:42.880
But then the other scenario that we hit a lot

380
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:44.119
is people who.

381
00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:47.840
Are songwriters and maybe they're a vocalists, maybe they play guitar,

382
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:51.599
maybe they play piano, but they don't have a drummer,

383
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:54.760
they don't have a bass player, and they're not really

384
00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:58.320
used to arranging this kind of part. So that's a

385
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.000
fun thing is to be able to meet with those

386
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:04.519
people and kind of take their vision and turn it

387
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:06.960
into a full kind of pop arrangement.

388
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:09.840
And that sounds much fun.

389
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:14.079
Yeah, And we have a few clients that have been

390
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:16.840
coming in for several years that are kind of working

391
00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:18.079
on ongoing CDs.

392
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:21.559
In this era of everything is singles and released online.

393
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:24.760
Sure, there's still there's still people that who always had

394
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:29.480
a dream to do their own album see the collection

395
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:31.199
of songs or whatever you want to call it in

396
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:32.239
