Episode 2:  Balance Is Key

In this episode we cover the importance of why having balance is ALL parts of your life, helps with the ability to grow and get better, and achieve your highest heights!

We cover the options we have for adjusting things that are out of balance in our musical lives, which include putting time into that thing, putting money, or making it a longer term goal using an "actionable schedule"

We also cover the 6 areas in our musical lives that can be in or out of balance, which are

-Writing
-Performance
-Practicing your Instrument
-Vocal Training
-Listening/Expanding thru the music of others
-Recording

Being able to identify where you are out of balance makes it easier and much quicker to fix what is not working, and grow in a more positive and profitable direction!

Welcome to the Episode 8 of the I-IV-V Rural Podcast, "Adopting A D.I.Y.

1) Identify - Figure out what new thing you want to create 

2) Research - Dig deep to find all the different ways other have used to create what you are after

3) Plan  -  Write out a detailed plan with all the steps, but make sure it also includes a  rough date or time to finish the task, and all the tools you will need to finish it.

4) Execute - Gather all the tools and resources you have listed on you plan, and start on step one, and follow your plan.

5) Modify - If the final result is not up to the standard you had set or is not the result you wanted, go back to step 2, and research how to improve or fix the issue, and repeat all the steps until you have created what you wanted.

24 Jul 2023Episode 20: The Ultimate Time Hack For Musicians (The Pomodoro Technique)00:10:01

"The Ultimate Time Hack For Musicians (The Pomodoro Technique)"

In todays episode we discuss using a technique that is designed to utilize the most of the time you dedicate to completing any task, be it practicing an instrument or your vocal work, writing songs, or whatever it may be, this will help make sure you stay on task while not getting burnt out or bored as we creatives have been known to do!

The technique itself is VERY simple!  You just set a timer to 25 minutes, then when that time is done, you set a second time for 5 minutes, to take a break from whatever you ware working on.  It is of the UTMOST importance that your break be away from the area you have to chosen to work, so go get something to drink or use the bathroom and stretch your legs!  Then after those 5 minutes of break, you do it again!  

You repeat that step 4 time for a total of at most 4 hours, then at the end of the fourth time, you take an extended break of 20-30 minutes.  Personally I enjoy doing my lunch or dinner at this time or even a brisk walk, but what you do is up to you!

Using this idea will help you to remain focused on what you want to get done, while letting you have time to unwind and get distracted at the appropriate times, and using this we can get better and better at achiever our goals!

09 Oct 2023Episode 31: The Secrets To Pro Level Audio Recordings - How Clean Is Your Sound00:17:20

"The Secrets To Pro Level Audio Recordings - How Clean Is Your Sound"

In todays episode we go over one of the biggest secrets to getting professional sounding audio, using pluggins to clean your audio and "de-noise" them, to remove any unwanted sounds from the background of your recordings.  These sounds can accumulate and become a horrifying sound, or can be exaggerated by the use of compression and equalizers (eq's).

So we take some time to hear some examples of before and after with an acoustic guitar and how removing unwanted noise can really give you the best starting place to start your mixing and mastering process, as well as an voice over example to show you the exact same principle.

We then walk thru how to use Izotope's RX denoise plugin so you can see it in action, and how truly simple it is.

Just learning and perfecting this technique can have one of the biggest impacts on your overall sound taking it's next big step forward...

16 Oct 2023Episode 32: A Guitar Cable That Could Save The Finish On Your Favorite Axe00:17:04

"A Guitar Cable That Could Save The Finish On Your Favorite Axe"

In todays episode we do a gear review for a guitar cable from The Rattlesnake Cable Company, that they call "The Snake Head" cable.

This cable is designed with an amazing protective weave over the entire cable, except that last foot of the cable that attaches to the guitar is just a nice rubber feeling plastic that is meant to save the finish of the guitar so it doesn't rub the finish off.  

After discussing what a snakehead cable is, and who its for, we then go over how it works during a demonstration, and then we discuss the benefits of the angled tip vs the straight tip for the cables.

After that we do a Pro's and Con's list, and then give our final recommendation!  If you are interested in these cables, there is a link below to get yourself one, that also helps us out!

"5 Tips To Fast Track Your Career As An Audio Engineer And Improve Your Mixes"

In todays episode we give 5 great tips and break down how to fast track your career as an audio engineer, or just make your mixes better.  We start with...

#3) Build Your Portfolio
Do whatever it takes to make sure you have a good representation of what you are capable of as a mixing or mastering engineer, even if it's just your own music, but ALWAYS make sure you have a way to link it to someone, be that a website, or soundcloud, or anything as long as its ONE click away for a potential client.

#4) Specialize
At this point you should know what genres or types of music you have above average skills at, and which ones you just don't have the passion or knowledge base in.  Focus on what you know and what your good at, and make sure your work reflects and shines a spotlight on what you can do better than those around you and in your area.  And if you not good a type of genre of specific type of music, learn who is so you can send them a client, and they will do the same in return!

#5) Develop Strong Technical Skills/Continuous Learning
Now that you have a niche and know your passion.  Dig deeper than anyone around you and get to know what make the best in that genre or music type, stand out among the 10's of thousands of other mixing and mastering engineers.  Find a way to make your music stand out like theirs in your area.  Become the go to "Guy" or "Gal" or "Person".  

Following these steps will help you take bigger steps forward, then if you just fumble around and hope for the best, and your mixes and masters will improve along with the work you put in!  So let's get out there and start pushing forward...

"Why You're Closer To Being A Professional Musicians Than You Think"

In todays episode we go over 5 things the can be used to define the difference between someone considered a professional musician, and someone thought to be a hobbyist or amateur musician. 

The biggest point of reviewing these, is to make sure that you are not using these to hold yourself back, or add fuel to the fire when it comes to being unsure, or scared of putting yourself out there, and getting your music out there.  And also to make sure that you don't let other gatekeep being a musician from you, because of any of the things we talk about.  So what are the five reasons we talk about that can separate a pro from a newb?  Well here they are...

#1) Training/Music Theory

#2) Gear

#3) Amount of Shows & Quality Of Shows

#4) Full Time Musician vs. Part Time Musician & % Of Your Income From Music

#5) CONFIDENCE!

So knowing these now, hopefully you will see you are further along in your journey then you even imagined, and nothing can hold you back but YOU!
