Sorry, I'm a bit late to this thread. Onboarding of more artists and consumers is the main goal of course. I see several challenges here but the main problem is the lack of a basic economic knowledge. That is the key to understand why current models of music distribution and consuming don't work in order to be open for a total different approach with the v4v model. This is still a long way to go, I guess. The technical hurdles aren't that much of a problem. I see a lot of artists being unhappy with Spotify etc. but they are sticking to the idea of ​​copyright. In the end they just search for a better deal with another Spotify-like company. So, focus shouldn't be the technical side of v4v. We definitely need much more marketing based on success stories to spread as a door opener.

Yeah Vox rules! Looks like an AC-10?

It's a Vox AC15VR ... so, it's actually not that small.

OK, now some of my gear 😅 This is my vintage Teisco hollow body electric bass from the 1960s. I don't know which model exactly this is. A friend of mine found this beauty, did the restoration and sold it for a fair price to me a couple of years ago. Love playing on this with the flatwound strings on! 🧡 https://npub17jm4z3qwxtn83hm39amv253xxjthcwvju67cff4g0eavddqk87fqptkqq7.blossom.band/61594b6eeccc197b99a70784c567ea3aa1a92d41b1ca3aba584f99358b20432f.jpg https://npub17jm4z3qwxtn83hm39amv253xxjthcwvju67cff4g0eavddqk87fqptkqq7.blossom.band/9758bb343751c373158b2854d62b72ba41745b175560cf7e18e585d30d6e7c1e.jpg

Hard to decide. But I think I would go with sunburst. 😎 At least for today. Tomorrow I might pick white. 😅

Thanks a lot! 🙏🙏🙏 Glad you like this one! It's really interesting to read the different comparisons listeners draw for my music. Most recently, there have been several comparisons to Hüsker Dü regarding my latest single. I find it fascinating! 😁

Exactly, I only use 8 tracks for my recordings. I record the drums directly in stereo (or even mono, like on my last single, "Do You Love Me?"). I play everything myself; it's truly pure DIY. 😅 But I'm still learning all the time, it's a process. My setup is based on an old 32-channel Tascam console and a Fostex R8 tape machine. My modest outboard gear consists of a few compressors, preamps, and (multi-)effects units. Almost everything is secondhand and probably low- to mid-budget range. But it's great to see that you also want to integrate a mixer in your setup! I think you'll have a lot of fun with it once you're familiar with everything. Drum miking is a big topic. I try to be flexible with it. Sometimes even one microphone is enough for my needs. 😬

Thanks! Working with analog recording techniques has side effects that positively impact my creativity. I have to make decisions, there's no undo function, I arrive at a result faster, and I have a unique sound. I also like the raw, unpolished sound of the tape and the hands-on work with knobs and faders instead of constantly clicking and staring at a screen. I certainly don't want to go back to the DAW world. A note about the mini concept album: It was recorded entirely analog, but a friend did the mixing and mastering digitally. However, he used very limited plugins to preserve the analog character. But I produced all the following single releases myself, mixing them all analog.
