    Natalie Goldsmith here! Thank you for answering my question Daniel! I honestly never thought about children's books in German for some reason before, yet when I was learning Japanese I read a ton of them... haha. German is way harder though but I'm not giving up!
    Keep up the amazing work and thank you for the advice again! ^_^

    That was great! Your personality is always fun to watch and your passion for your craft inspires me as a fellow musician :D Thanks also for answering my question about screaming, your answer is helpful! About a year ago, a friend tried teaching me how to scream properly, and the techniques he gave me sounded like the ones from my vocal coach, so I guess I should get serious about looking for regular voice lessons again. Side note, my last name sounds like the last three syllables in "alcoholic" X3

    Thankyou for posting this video, makes me so happy about the empathy book you are reading atm. Ive said for years I dont believe in sympathy or empathy because everyone is going through something and you cant feel bad for everyone because then thats meaningless. In return people think im Heartless.

    That was a fun and informative AMA. As someone who works in finance - you probably got a better accounting education running your own business than you would have at college. Real world experience > book knowledge. And less expensive.

      I'm making a video on what industrial pop is. It's about my lifelong influences and how that relates to where I'm at now. I like all musical genres but I mostly listen to pop, hip hop and metal.

    You're funny yet inspirational! Who cares about empathy when it can feel like a curse when it's had? Just because you aren't an empath, it doesn't mean you can't read about it! Huhhh? Even in your music, you mention not being an empath. Seriously respectful that you've read up on it no matter the book! Do people not pay attention to the lyrics? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Facepalm. Of all the questions during a Q and A session, there are some seriously strange questions if they can ask you anything. OMG!

By crazy, I mean, a temporal lobe seizure...they look different...I couldn't focus or stand, & was pretty sure the devil was there...(u hallucinate with the temporal ones, often.) I had good ppl with me, and emergency meds...but, just curious if u have had to stop a show for someone in a medical crisis...thanx💖🎵🎵😂

    I agree about the gin, its nasty, and if i can add Jim Beam tastes like bug spray. Ive had pineapple on pizza, but i honestly can say the first two are more gross. but hey like youre song elements, We Will Never Be The Same Because It's The Elements That Make Us Who We Are :)

    • @ClosetoHumanMusic
      @ClosetoHumanMusic  6 лет назад +1

      In my experience, the majority of people who only scream (and never bothered to learn how to sing) either do it wrong, or end up having a longer and more difficult road. Distortion is an effect, not a fundamental mode / gear / technique, whatever word you wanna use...I think of it like buying guitar pedals when you don't own a guitar.

  • @rexozgamez3773

    • @rexozgamez3773

      Close to Human Music ahh those mourning doves can be distracing yet interesting. I once tried to record a growling Bison that stared at me while eating grass. A very uniqe encounter indeed. 😊

  • @pablovalenzuela3505
    @pablovalenzuela3505 6 лет назад

    Hi Daniel, I see you use Logic pro x to compose, what do you use to play live? big hug

    • @ClosetoHumanMusic
      @ClosetoHumanMusic  6 лет назад

      I build live sessions in Logic X as well!

    • @pablovalenzuela3505
      @pablovalenzuela3505 6 лет назад

      wow, very interesting. Could you ever share some logic project to learn how to set up a live session ?, I have Mainstage but I find that it is a very tangled software. When you re-made the album "Blood Spills Not Far From The Wound", did you do it in logic too? Spilling blood is my favorite, by the way. It inspires me. Thanks again Daniel.

    • @ClosetoHumanMusic
      @ClosetoHumanMusic  6 лет назад

      Everything from A Violent Emotion to now is done in Logic. The only thing I've released that wasn't was my 3TEETH remix which I did while trying to learn Reason. But I didn't enjoy working in Reason so I moved on. Live projects are nothing special. Stereo playback tracks, click tracks and some background noises. I don't like complicated live setups because they always crash. Keep it simple.

    • @pablovalenzuela3505
      @pablovalenzuela3505 6 лет назад

      How do you make sure you do not have live crashes? on the laptop ram? how much do you use? I take this question as you are answering everything in a spectacular way, you appreciate that, what is your favorite plugin to make the bass in your songs? Thanks for responding so fast Daniel, you are a amazing guy. Cheers

    • @ClosetoHumanMusic
      @ClosetoHumanMusic  6 лет назад

      Last one before I head off: Crashes happen. You can't prevent them 100%. However, if you keep your projects small, they will be stable. Bass should never be anything other than a clean sine wave. Complicated bass = muddy mixes. Best of luck!

    • @ClosetoHumanMusic
      @ClosetoHumanMusic  6 лет назад

      Shipping should be $14... not $42.

    • @Danny-Inhuman
      @Danny-Inhuman 6 лет назад

      Oh sorry, I meant Shirt + shipping, I forgot the "with" in the sentence. My fault.

    • @ClosetoHumanMusic
      @ClosetoHumanMusic  6 лет назад

      Yeah I hear you. The shipping costs suck but there's no way around it. I'm just a small business. Foreign merchants don't import my stuff.Hell, I can't even get my band merchandise into stores. The sad fact is: Until thousands of people are buying my shirts, there's just no chance of them ever getting picked up for distribution. Glad you dig the design, tho!

    • @Danny-Inhuman
      @Danny-Inhuman 6 лет назад

      I know it's not your fault. Don't know why they don't import your merch. To me you are a big number in the alternative scene.
      Maybe I'll buy this shirt soon, if I can bring it up. It would be my most expensive shirt but finally one of Aesthetic Perfection. Plus the awesome Design :) Keep it up that way

    • @ClosetoHumanMusic

      A Nice Place to Visit is about whatever you think it's about. And I think All Beauty Destroyed is one of my strongest compositions. I'm also particularly proud of Showtime.

    • @f4u5t00
      @f4u5t00 6 лет назад

      If you like a hoppy beer like an IPA then you'll like a gin and tonic. Graves is a vodka fan. I've had many of both and each has their merits. A vodka martini can be sublime.

    • @ClosetoHumanMusic
      @ClosetoHumanMusic  6 лет назад

      Please don't let my hatred for it influence your willingness to try new things. Try it. If it sucks, then you know for sure. Otherwise you're just trusting some dumbass on the internet (me). ;)

    • @HodajuciParadoks
      @HodajuciParadoks 6 лет назад

      How knows maybe one day, but I meh. I was like that with vodka, I do not like it, tequila is better.
      My favorite drinks are beer and if I am tired beer+ guarana (energetic drink but not too much of it) or vinjak (that is something like bourbon, but tastier) and guarana. I do not recommend drinking this...even if it is good and it is good...XD
