Joe! I LOVE this! Just watched the video and checking out the album now. Glorious!!! That Silent Night is breaking my heart man! The sounds you captured are exactly how an acoustic guitar should sound, imo! Your playing — NEXT LEVEL!!!
I’m two weeks late to this post- but will be rocking this hard next year for the holidays!
❤❤️❤

Hi Michael!
I really enjoyed that! Not much to add in terms of critique from me! Just wanted to chime in and say that I feel like that mix rocks so hard! I hope to be able to achieve the clarity in my mixes like that sometime in the future! The balance of the instruments and the frequencies and all the sounds you got are so great!
When the snare drum came in with that dark tone that hit me as being a bit weird sonically, but then you filtered it up to unveil the regular sound, very interesting and cool!
Keep them hits coming! 🔥

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I just read it again! I know I had read that before but for some reason, I just wasn’t really ready to understand what you were fully trying to say! Especially the part about how you actually use them to mix with! I always sort of assumed you were just monitoring on them, but now I’m starting to understand that you actually make adjustments while using those as your monitors! I think I get it more now! Also – That low end tip in “chaos to clarity” is so fantastic, too! The idea of just using the EQ rather than the faders at that point of the process isn’t the most intuitive thing, but it makes complete sense! This journey is so much fun, and it means so much to have this space as a learning resource and community of support!
I’m just starting a new mix today and I began with your advice about starting with the biggest part first and now I’m kind of working backwards to the beginning – it’s such a great concept for getting the big parts to feel like they hit hard when they need to! I hope to have something to share very soon! Thanks again brother!
with love,

Hey Joe!
The battery that they are selling now that most closely resembles the one we used for Endless Field stuff is the Yeti 500, I believe. And we have a solar panel that attaches to it (it folds up and can be attached to a backpack) We used it in Utah and ran an 8 channel UA interface, laptop, etc off of it without any issues. I’ve used it to power live remote concerts in off grid places too It’s pretty sweet. I think it’s about 15 lbs so if you put it at the bottom of a backpack its doable. We also used it two summers ago when recording in Alaska and powered even more stuff on that adventure (music hopefully coming soon!)
Sadly, that battery isn’t in use any more. It gave all it could haha
However, for my personal smaller remote recording sessions I’ve actually been using an even smaller goal zero battery. It’s the YETI 200x. It’s very small and lightweight but I did a recording session recently using an eight channel focusrite interface plus my laptop, etc. We only recorded for about an hour but it worked perfectly and still had some juice left, without even using solar. I really like that little battery and take it everywhere. It’s so small that it’s a good option and I’m pretty sure it was far less than $200.
If you ever make it up to New York, definitely hit me up! I have a little rowboat that I like to go out and play music on, and the little battery allows me to power a speaker and all my pedals, and I can play ambient soundscapes across the reservoir as the birds fly over. Pretty sweet! You’ve got an open invitation and a place to stay!
Best,
JLew

Thank you Joe! I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
Best Wishes for a happy New Year!

Thanks, Paul!
I hadn’t thought about how important those frequencies are for speaking in a live sound situation. Very enlightening…
This stuff is all slowly coming together. Amen!

Stunning!!!

Yes sir! It’s very cool! I’m not aware of another plug-in that simultaneously shows you the frequency response of your sides in conjunction with your mids, so you can really see how they look side-by-side. I’m sure something like that exists, but I found it to be pretty cool….. and you can’t beat free!!!
Loving the clarity M so much! Even just for tracking stuff I finding it so handy to have that information on its own screen like that!
Can’t wait to hang with everybody on Friday on the zoom!!
Love,
JLew
