🎬 ON TODAY'S MANUAL: Today's going to be a long one. There are many steps to recording these dense fuzz sounds that we know and love, and certainly equalising is one of the trickiest of them. After spending some years recording and rehearsing a lot with these types of guitar pedals, I've came across some tricks to get around with them, and I'll show you some of them today. I am no professional recording engineer or anything like that, these are some tips I've received from producers and artists I've worked with these last couple of years, and I think these might be helpful for you if you constantly need to deal with these kinds of sounds. I find these specially useful for recording shoegaze, indie and alternative rock, and even indie music for that matter. Hope you find these helpful and enjoy the video (:

🎸 So who are you? You weirdo hipster 🎸 I'm Victor Budin (  / vibudin_   - Instagram), a musician from Brazil. The most notable of my music projects is my power trio band Supernova Andromeda (  / a_supernovaa   - Instagram) - my shoegaze/indie/alt rock band where I explore shimmery and fuzzy sounds from the 90's to produce my own music. I have two other projects, Magna Carta cover band, witch covers rock from all ages in an alternative rock way; and Casus Belli, witch hangs around Stoner/Doom metal. If you'd like to check out one of the bands and follow them on social media, it'll help me out a lot! I'm a big fan of the underground scene from Brazil and the world, and I want to show a bit of this universe here to you - Besides, I love talking about these genres that are so important to me since I grew up listening to them: Indie, shoegaze and Alt rock. I love exploring all kinds of gear available to create alternative music. Thanks for watching! 👻
