In this video, I’m keeping it real about why you haven’t been seeing me drop as much music content lately. Life has been moving fast—I’ve been coaching football, I got heavy into disc golf (and yeah, I started a whole new channel for that), and honestly I had to step away from music for a minute. The bigger reason though? I got bored with the direction music has been going. A lot of what’s popular right now just isn’t popping to me, and I don’t want to be attached to the negativity—fake lifestyles, drugs, and stuff that’s affecting our youth and culture. But I’m back, and I’m showing you the comeback process with a collab I did in BandLab. I walk you through how we built the track—my friend laid the hook and verse, and I came back with my verse plus harmonies to make the hook feel full. I also give you practical recording/mixing tips inside BandLab: doubling harmonies so you can pan left/right for a wider stereo image, using the stock effects (EQ, compression, de-esser, stereo widener, reverb, ping pong delay), and using automation to change effect amounts at specific moments. If you’re on a budget and can’t afford Pro Tools or Logic, this is exactly why I keep telling you to get with BandLab and make some music happen.
