    How do you make your mixes sound professional as a beginner? What’s the real difference between mixing and mastering? And do you actually need expensive gear to produce great music at home?

    Inside The Mix is the podcast for beginner and early-career music producers, as well as hobbyist musicians, who want clear, practical answers to the most common questions in music production and mixing music.

    #43: Three Vocal Delay Tricks to Improve Your Mix Sep 06, 2022
    Show notes

    A stereo delay with a 1/4 or 1/8 note delay on one side and 1/4 or 1/8 note triplet note on the other side provides movement along with depth.
    For a quick vocal effect, set up a mono 220ms delay with a couple of repeats.
    To simulate a vocal double, use a 1/16 note delay and then modulate it so it slowly raises or lowers in pitch.

    #42: How to Write Music Across Different Time Zones | Year of the Fall Aug 30, 2022
    Show notes

    Year of the Fall is a synthwave/retrowave band that blends nostalgia for the music and movies of the 1980s with the electronic melancholy of modern life.
    YOTF features German musician Philipp Kappestein and American writer/vocalist Dan Vaccaro. The two met while living in a volunteer community in Boston, Massachusetts, and within days began making music together. They spent their 9-5 working in the program’s homeless shelter, and in the evenings recorded music on an old computer, originally using a headset microphone to capture vocals. Their first album came under the band name For Tomorrow, and featured acoustic folk-pop music inspired by the likes of Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Counting Crows, Pearl Jam, and others.
    The group’s second album, Love on a Dying Planet, is an eight-song cycle – released one track at a time – that tells the story of star-crossed lovers who discover passion and peril at the end of the world. The band released the first single from the record in May 2022. Fans can follow along with each new segment of the story (and find its corresponding song) at the YOTF’s website (https://www.yearofthefall.com/love-on-a-dying-planet-2022).
