  • I made this in the hopes of answering a number of questions I often get about audio and video production. I don't know that this is the best way to approach this type of thing, it's just how I do it.
    A few videos I've produced using this approach:
    • Starman - David Bowie ...
    • Yer So Bad - Tom Petty... \
    • See Emily Play - Pink ...
    • Once In A Lifetime - T...
    I am an artist for sE Microphones and Zoom Electronics, which is why I have their cool stuff. And it sounds good.

    Thank you for showing the complexity of what you do and the choices you make about the equipment and placement. I enjoy your work very much; your talent but also the fact that you seem to be independent and making for yourself and your friends on your own terms. Inspiring and satisfying to see....and I think you're pretty good at videography as well.

    Josh, your patients, trial and error and great talents are appreciated more than I can express. I can comfortably predict you have a very successful future ahead of you in which ever profession you chose.

    Well done Josh. Really appreciate the fact that you break down the tracks in order to seek authenticity in terms of production and arrangement. Bouncing to cassette and back?! Impressive... One would assume there'd be an analog plug-in suitable for the authentic sound you desire - but suspect you explored that route and opted to stay with the tried-and-true cassette bounce. Good stuff.

    I've always been fascinated with your videos, and I'm SO glad you did this. Thanks for being so detailed too! I'm an equipment geek too, so hearing every aspect down to the string and pick choices was quite interesting. Hearing all about the audio and video recording equipment and process was equalling interessting. I can't believe how long all this takes! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing so much great music with us. I hope to catch you and Carson live sometime!

    Josh you are a great Technologist. Amazing & way over my head. If you ever do a record with a major record company you should handle all the engineering of the cuts. You probably would be better than anyone they could come up with. Especially since you know exactly what you are looking for in the recording.

    I always loved the Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars album, everything on it. On my vinyl album, there's a note on the back that says, "TO BE PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME." And it sounds killer at full volume. I could never do that with any of my other vinyl albums, it's the way it was produced. I can't say exactly what that is because I don't know enough about production, but it does sound great at full volume.

    Glad you touched on WHY you might make a cover. When I painstakingly do one I often sit there and ask myself why the hell I'm even doing it. You're right, it's a learning experience. I often compare it to doing a jigsaw puzzle. Why do people do such things? You know what the final version is going to look like. The picture is right there on the box! But, somehow, piecing it all together is creatively satisfying. Perhaps it's a little too personal but, would love to know about your living arrangements that you can bang on de drum all day!
