This episode of Recording Studio Rockstars is brought to you by Adam Audio, isotope, native instruments, and grace design.

You're hearing my voice right now through the Grace Design M201 Mark 2 mic preamp into the Empirical

Labs' EL8X Distressor mixed through isotope RX, ozone, neutron, and nectar,

all on atom audio monitors.

It's a great way to help support this show, and we really appreciate it.

Now, get ready to rock.

I think the most useful thing that anybody can ever do is pull out their little handheld device, put on the rough, and sing

along in your girly falsetto voice, sing along with the rough with your eyes closed and not

thinking. Best way to find what I call the top line, the lead line, the violins, violin one.

You always find it better with your voice than you do with your fingers on MIDI.

Your fingers have their own patterns that they follow, but the voice is the most genuine one.
