You Missed This...?Crafty Music Tips2024-12-31 | With the name 'Crafty Music Tips', it's overstating the obvious that giving you advice for your music is what we do here. But as the year draws to a close, it's the perfect time to highlight some gems from the last 12 months in case you missed them. I know for me, it was a great reminder going through and revising, which is a good tip in itself: it's never a waste of time to re-watch something to strengthen your connection to it.
Here's wishing you a great New Years and all the best for 2025!

The song begins. You realize quickly that you can’t hear yourself enough. You stay composed but internally you’re screaming: “nooo!”
You desperately want the problem fixed but don’t want to disrupt the flow of the performance by saying to the sound person “more foldback!!” Wouldn’t it be great if you could just fix it yourself without drawing attention to you doing so?
Never fear, @XviveAudio is here to save the day! This video looks at the PX3 and how to use it to make sure you never have one of those situations ever again.

See what I did there?
Swedish Pop Rock duo, @roxetteofficial, hold a special place in my musical upbringing, so being able to provide guitar and the male vocal part of the @singitliveworld recording of 'The Look' was super cool. Nikki and I take a 'Joyride' down memory lane as we reminisce about our connection to the song and our time in the studio. To say it was 'Almost Unreal' would be an understatement.
Ok no more song titles, it’s getting too, uh, ‘Dangerous’ 🤣

His story of overcoming adversity to achieve these heights with a hard work ethic can help guide and inspire you - no matter what your industry.
With this being the @CraftyMusicTips channel, I’m going to use some helpful tips Arnold had to say in a recent interview that I stumbled across and apply it to music, but it really is widespread. Don’t underestimate the power of its simplicity, sometimes it’s the most simple things that are the most powerful, and overlooked!
