Give It A Name
“Give It A Name”
No, really. I read Dana’s message about giving the post an easily searchable name. That just happens to be the actual name of the song.
So, this is my first post. I’m a retiree and drummer / percussionist who’s always wanted to get into Pro Tools. Wide open for whatever feedback you might have. Thanks all!

It was so great seeing you on the Zoom yesterday and hearing a preview (in mono – thanks, Zoom 🥴)
Looking fwd to giving this a fresh listen (in stereo!) soon, man!

James,
Much better in stereo! I heard the Meetup replay and it was all glorious mono.
I like bold toms that jump out and yours certainly do that.
That last little bit of a cappella vocals is a nugget of goodness that I wanted to hear earlier somehow.

Thank you, Paul.
Being a drummer, I know I need to be cautious about big tom egocentrism (and Trigger2 can make that so easy!), but I figured they weren’t stepping on anything.
I appreciate the feedback.

James!
So fun to hear this again – such an awesome composition, performance, and soundscape. Bravo!!
I just love that you and your daughter work on these together – she sounds great! Her voice and stacked harmony style reminds me of a group @cmn and @kwas and I have been listening to lots lately, The Roches. 💜
OK, so here are the very few ideas that came to mind while rocking out to “Give It A Name”:
- 1:05 – gimme lots more sidestick backbeat!!
- Try turning up the Kick throughout so that it’s at least as big and loud as those rocking toms
- love those little electronic percussion elements!!
All easy stuff man! And only if you’re feelin it, too! Awesome work as always, “J-Cube”.
