FINALLY! While I do enjoy learning about gear through your reviews, I equally tune in to hear you perform and have been a "fan" of our musical compositions and musicianship for years. So glad you took a step forward in featuring your musical talents. Now, get in the studio and record an album! Your songs are absolutely solid, Bandrew, and many people would enjoy hearing your tunes. As I have said in the past, your tunes are easily better than 80% of what is getting commercial airplay these days. Happy New Year, Bill
Love it! They were all masterpieces. The complexity of some of these tracks was just so over the top for a mic review but damn if they werent tasty as hell. I never understood the box throw thing. Next year, each song could be a part of a bigger work and at the end of the year you put it all together and make some epic work the like has never been experienced. (Just lemme toss a bass track on it 😂)
Really great. The music gave very much “local on the 8s” vibes from The Weather Channel. Bring on the foggy conditions from over the southeast US. Happy new year, Bandrew!
I look forward to the music parts so this is perfect for me, you’ve got some very interesting harmonic guitar interweaving going on in these pieces. And chords that make your fingers shape like a W , what’s that all about? :) Happy New Year!
Thanks for all that you do. Have been watching your videos for a few years and it helped me decide what to pick up for starting out in VO. (I went with the Rode NT-1 & AI-1 combo) and after auditioning for two years, finally landed my first audiobook. Would love your advice on a potential preamp upgrade. All the best in 2025! Keep doing what you do!
Absolutely loved the stereo imaging with the four acoustic guitars very pleasing to listen to. It’s a little gem to find these musical pieces within the obscure context of a microphone test.
Hey, Bandrew, I love that you did the music compilation!! I hope others appreciate the music you're doing. In particular, my two cents,... Song #1 - I love the acoustic guitar - the chords and the tone are great. Song 2 - I love the vocal harmonies! Song 3 - I love the bass guitar and the chords! Song #4 - I love it all, the guitar parts are terrific. "With my lips on the grill" (hahaha). Song #5 - The lead guitar lines are lovely...the acoustic parts too...the vocal harmonies too! It would be cool to see you develop any of these songs into full songs with their own videos!
Thank you so much for this! I've been loving your music in every video and I'm a snob, I would love for you to finish these songs and post an EP on streaming services
This was a fun compilation, thanks! It would be interesting to remix some of these and play with the form a bit when the intent isn’t to do a rigorous, standardized test of gear.
Next year is your drum year. .. and I don't mean synthesizers. We just need to find you some simple smaller drums. A set of bongos. Some shakers. Chimes. And a snare.
You really are SUCH a talented musician. It's awesome! Just bought a guitar and i wish i could play like you! On Bandrew Says a while back you mentioned you were mixing a live concert you were in, what is your bands name?
Bandrew, I enjoyed just about everything you did this year. I also happened to enjoy the way you did things before. I guess I'm just a big fan. Of the music tracks you included in this review, I honestly think I liked the first one the most. But I think that might be because it referenced pizza.
The melody on #2 Shure Nexadyne is so AMAZING that i even got the mp3 and used it as my phone alarm! Could you please add a link to download the entire song?? Is so amazing
This is a great idea. I would also find it interesting if you put all your music on Spotify and talked about what it's like trying to submit music to Spotify on the Bandrew Says Podcast.
Awesome songs you made. I do have a question though. Should I be concerned with LUFS other than max peak of -1dBFS (usually I had it around -4dB to -2dB or so)? I asked a search engine with an AI called Kagi and Kagi suggested an integrated loudness of -14 LUFS and I thought it would be very tricky to get to without a lot of compression and limiting. Even for a few years since I participating on online meetings while working from home, no one ever complained that my voice is too quiet. When I check the meter in Zoom, my signal hovers around 50%. It seems like the AI is trying to get the meter to around 75% to 90% when it comes to keeping my voice consistent in voice calls. My microphone is a Beyerdynamic DT-797. It's a headphone with a condenser microphone.
Release those quickly or in a couple mounth/years you've get copyright strike/channel block from some scumbag sony music "artist" who stole part of your songs and released their "song" for automated algorithms to rip you off.
My mic locker is hobbyist level respectable because of you and I thank you for it kind sir !! That said how would I go about sending you a mic( that has helped me vocally ) for review consideration ? Cheers !

Do you have a Review for Zoom AM7, I am a Voice Artist and I am planning to buy this phone so that I can record quickly on the go. Do let me know if you have a review on this or you're planning to make one. Thanks
Anyone have any experience with the Audio-Technica AE5100? It's a large diaphragm electret condenser in a pencil mic format. Can't find any reviews of this mic but its specs and relatively low cost make it look very interesting. I'd be especially interested in how it performs as a boomed interview mic. Thanks everyone. Happy 2025!
Can you review the Presonus Channel Strip? Because i wanna buy it for my home studio but I need an expert that review it to understand if it really worth it. Thank you very much
Man, you're such a great musician - understanding gear, producing, composing, playing, and singing!
Danke! A Happy New Year 25, dear Bandrew!
This was mesmerizing! I think my favourite songs were Nr. 2 and 4.

At last! I said a few years ago that you should release an album of all of your hits, superb!
Thank you so much Riven!
This was cool. In 2024 your guitar playing skills surpassed your box throwing skills. I'm gonna go back and listen to this again.
Thanks so much Forgotten!

That WA47 song still hits hard. Please don't ever stop. Happy New Year, Bandrew! You rock!

Love your videos, so informative and precise and unafraid of revealing honest comparisons. Also excellent guitar music.
Absolutely love your videos...Especially the mic comparisons...Very informative and most entertaining! Sorry it took me so long to subscribe.
Love your work and advice for the last couple of years on audio gear! Great wrap for the year! Keep up the great work!
Thanks man, happy New year 👍

Thank you so much Adam, I really appreciate the kind words!
This is amazing!! Can’t wait to hear what you do next!!
Fantastic guitar playing Bandrew! HNY and the best to you in 2025! Looking forward to what you have in store for us. Be well.... 👍👍🎸🎸🎤🎤
Happy new year, sad to see the streak of making box throw compilations ending. Hoping to see one this year though, always fun to look back every year.
Happy New Year from Australia, Bandrew
I come for the gear.. but it’s your comical charm and musical talent that keeps me hear.
Happy New Year man! 🎇🎊🎉
I dig your music, my dude! Happy New Year! :D 565 sounds amazing... btw :)))~

It's cool, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
This was the best. I have to watch it again to figure out which song I liked best. Happy 2025.🎉
i'll be here next year again, for shure!
Thank you and take care brother.

This was great! here's for a 2025 full of joy and success. Be excellent to each other.
Thank you so much for this! I've been loving your music in every video and I'm a snob, I would love for you to finish these songs and post an EP on streaming services
Excellent work. I especially enjoyed the acoustic guitar
The no.1 was my favorite. They make the reviews a lot of fun.
I really like this idea, and I really liked a lot of the music that you wrote this year.
This was a fun compilation, thanks! It would be interesting to remix some of these and play with the form a bit when the intent isn’t to do a rigorous, standardized test of gear.
All the best from U.K. great vid as usual.
Yep. The "Peluso P414" was my favorite piece of music too. Have a wonderful new year! Cheers :-)
Next year is your drum year. .. and I don't mean synthesizers. We just need to find you some simple smaller drums. A set of bongos. Some shakers. Chimes. And a snare.
Happy New Year!
Art Tube MP. Tickled my ear in a way I hadn't experienced before. Love it.
Your music is always good and this was nice to hear.
Love it -- Always great playing..

Hoping to have a full version to buy. So good, each songs is unique. Very good.
Definitely cool! The UFO one is unique! lol My personal fav if #5. I enjoyed them all. New Year’s Blessings to you.

wa47 is just a masterpiece dude, seriously. i smile every time i hear it
I rather enjoyed that....... thank you Happy New Year
This is a great idea. I would also find it interesting if you put all your music on Spotify and talked about what it's like trying to submit music to Spotify on the Bandrew Says Podcast.
Thank you very much and HNY
Those were some very nice tunes 👍🏼 awesome guitar melodies
eeyo, whats up? Good video. Quality audio as usual. Nice guitar work. What's not to like. Be well.
Awesome songs you made.

Best mic for radio ready singing?
I am calling song 1 (Rank 5) - "Sad Pepperonis"
Nice Strat . Very similar in color and style to the jazz master with 2 p90s
Haaaahaha I missed the candy corn one - that was great.

Acoustic sounds great
Not much into the entertainment of throwing boxes, but performed original music? Now that I can appreciate.
Happy New Year. Wear your tinfoil hat!
Do you have a Review for Zoom AM7, I am a Voice Artist and I am planning to buy this phone so that I can record quickly on the go. Do let me know if you have a review on this or you're planning to make one. Thanks
Yess, maybe makr it for each previous year also?
