Oh, and my screen is jumping around, Adrian in the bass Hello good morning from Ontario, amazing. Oh and Ali's in as well from County Mayo. Hello, All of you wonderful wonderful table, and welcome to Emily's life How can relax now that I've said a quick hello I know that there's people still piling in so that's fine we'll we'll get to that a bit later but this week. Let's talk about the thing that is definitely the thing that I have been asked the most recently, since starting up or starting back up with this series, and that is about remote recording clients and how to get more remote recording clients is for anyone that's running a business, doing remote recording, and they will walk like funny that isn't it. Now this can also be related to say you're a teacher and you want more students, this can totally be related to that, if you're running rehearsal studio like Charlotte is, it could be absolutely related to that. So this does cover a lot of areas, what I'm going to talk about, Rather than just the narrow sort of thing of my recording, but I will mainly reference that only because it's my most experienced that I have is in that field. So yeah, so let's get into it. Now, I get asked this question a lot, and usually the answers that I give a very much like, Do this, do X, Y, Zed go to these websites, you know, search for these type of people and get in touch and bla bla bla and sort of X, Y, Zed and people do this and it works and all that sort of stuff, some people don't do it, some people just want another answer because they don't like the answer. And, at least that's my experience because at the end of the day these things take time. They take a lot of consistent effort, and it's hard, it's not easy. There's no, well I haven't found some like quick shortcut way of finding especially remote recording clients also I'm just gonna whack my hand that's good. And so yeah I have never found a really really quick way of doing this but what I thought I'd talk about today rather than doing the same old thing of like you know you could try this website you could do this do that leave comments here, you know, go into this group and but I'm not going to do that this week. What I'm going to do instead is kind of flip the perception of maybe how you could think about getting clients because it's not just an exercise in kind of box ticking and you know do these amounts of things every day for a month and you'll start getting new clients is, I think that's kind of the surface level action that needs to be taken. But here's what I'm gonna offer to you for this week to think about. Rather than thinking about, you know, how can I sell my services, how can I get in touch with people, how can I do this, how can I, II, maybe you could start thinking about your ideal client, maybe think about them. And what I mean by that and this is something, this concept kind of changed my whole view of how I should be looking at things, and it just makes so much sense. So, as an exercise, what I'd like you to do if you're running a business, any type of business that involves other people is put yourself in their shoes. And this very simple concept, I promise you will completely change everything because it changes the way that you approach things now, let's give an example, and I always love this example let's say that you're in a new area right, and you decide you want to go to a restaurant. What is the first thing that you're going to do. I know what I could do what I always do and you might be different and I'll get to that in a minute. What I do is I pull up my phone I go into Google Maps, and then I will just search what's nearby, maybe I have a particular cuisine that I really fancy that day or maybe I don't maybe I'll just really good food, and I go right, what's the highest rated restaurant. Let's go there. And that's it, that's how I make my decisions when it comes to food now. As far as I the way I think, I don't see why it would be any different when it comes to working with a musician, I don't think so, I started to ask myself right, what, what would that look like what would my ideal client. Let's say they find me somewhere. It can be literally anywhere. Now, if I were in their shoes, I would maybe see a video of me playing for instance on let's say Instagram. Okay, first thing you're gonna do. Oh I like this person's playing that's really fun. Oh, I have a song that maybe I need some drums I'm warming in to do, I'm going to click on their profile. If I look at their feed, and there's no other video of them playing, or it's very like, you know there's a picture of my, I don't know if I had a dog like a dog or some family members or you know it's all a bit sporadic there's a random picture about a flower and like a beach or, you know, just not drum related not what I do related, you know, not in my studio, not playing gigs not any of that. I'm instantly going to be switched off, I'm just gonna right now. Okay, that's obviously just a one off nice video that's all very good but they don't take themselves seriously this is not a serious thing for them. I'm not going to put my trust into them. And then you'll never hear from them. If, however, they go to your Instagram, they find more posts and stuff they can find out more about you. Maybe like this, there'll be short talking videos so literally they can see how you talk and what your vibe is or you know and maybe you're talking about something you're passionate about, that's maybe like a certain genre or a certain way recording or something like that, that really will help people want to you and go and want to know more and then maybe there's links on your bio which will lead them to say your business or something like that but it lets them delve deeper. But what you need to sort of create is trust because at the end of the day, especially on the internet, anyone can be anyone. Like, I don't know about you, I'm not gonna just randomly get in touch with someone that I have no idea about and give them money to do a job, I don't even know if they can do. So, I would sort of have this in your mind whenever you're posting content whenever you're reaching out to people you know think about how if you're reaching out someone how would you like to be reached out to. And I know for me, if someone reaches out to me, even thinking about it is making me cringe. It's already tells me. Hi. I do this thing, let me do this thing for you. I charge this amount and very like aggressive, I don't like that it's not my vibe and it's not to say that's right or wrong. Absolutely not. It's just my personal preference, and I like to conduct myself in a way that I would like to be conducted that even makes sense, but you understand what I mean. And if you do like being approached that way in a very direct way, be that be exactly what you are. and this is what I mean, it's kind of it's not about right or wrong, it's about attracting sort of the right the right, the people that are in alignment with you, with the way that you work with the music that you want to be working on. And I think if you can hold this in your mind's eye at all times and just think right before I send this message, how would I perceive this, like, is this a good way of being, and basically put their needs as your number one reason for getting in touch with them. So this comes on to the next point. So, that's kind of, if you can keep them in your mind right let's let's do what's right for these people, then it's like, where did these people exist where can I find these people and that's when you go into kind of working out what your ideal client might look like so. You know what it, what kind of music is it first of all they're playing that's a very, very basic one, you know, maybe it's location based where in the world are they, you know what other interests might they have just sort of get a picture together in your head, and then maybe start researching, where these musicians are using services like I mean band camps brilliant height music is amazing. Obviously Spotify playlists are amazing, SoundCloud and just search for genres, so let's say you, so for me it's, I always get in touch with a lot of sort of singer songwriters, I just love that kind of music I love storytelling. I love all that sort of stuff and maybe bit country and bit of blues and all that sort of stuff because I just love stories. Maybe if you is like gospel music, that's your thing, maybe it's like really heavy metal, maybe it's, I don't know jazz who knows but you know these sites are so well optimised for finding music that is suited to your ear so if you just kind of go right, I want to be the jazz drummer. I want to be the remote recording jazz drummer guy or girl, that's me, like his set out when I stole, that's it. Search for those people that are independent nice, maybe not bands because often bands have drummers already or guitarist already or whatever you're playing. So I wouldn't go, like, I wouldn't get in touch with bands necessarily but independent artists, absolutely. Find them listen to their music if you like it. Brilliant, move on to the next up as next step, sorry, if you don't, just don't bother because all this kind of interaction needs to have an element of trust and honesty about it because as soon as it doesn't, no one's going to be interested, you can see straight through that like there's no point, there's literally no point of pretending. So, find some music that you like some artists that you like and then see where they hang out so say you find an artist on Spotify on a random Spotify playlists right, oh my god they're amazing. You find them on Twitter or on Facebook or maybe on Instagram, and just come in and just reach out and I think the other thing that needs to happen is, rather than kind of this approaching. With this, This thing of like use me, use me let me record for you or let me, you know, teach you or let me, whatever it is. Let it be a little bit more chill. Just start a relationship, start a friendship just be appreciative and this is what I mean about being honest, be appreciative of that person and what they're putting out there, just like just heard this song. Absolutely love it, keep doing what you're doing, whatever it is, just reach out, make contact. Make yourself known. That is literally it. You know, some of the clients that I have that I record with, It was like three years of chatting and just getting to know each other before we actually work together, but those people are like the strongest bonds that I have and I absolutely adore them and they become friends of mine and now we get to do loads of music together and it's just a really great environment, but that started from just a conversation with no expectation, because I think that there is a misconception for some reason that you should be reaching out and selling your services straight away. That's just not how life works at all. It's about making connections friends, finding like minded people and again, you know, if you reach out with that initial comment, let's say, again, if it's on Instagram or let's say it's on Tik Tok just for, you know, just the sake for the sake of sakes, that's not even the same but there we go. And yeah, if they then click your profile. Again, you want them to see a brilliant representation of yourself, what you have to offer them maybe we'll get them commenting on your stuff and maybe it will get them asking you questions, and you're showcasing stuff without any expectation, it's just, oh this is just what I do. And then you just see where it goes from there and like I say, I think, you know, you're not gonna part ways with your hard earned money for some random stranger on the internet that is just going, I do this thing pay me pay me pay me. No, it's just best know how it goes, at all. Just think about how you are online, think about if you find something that interests you, even yesterday, I had this ad come up. I think it's for something called athletic greens, I'm still contemplating whether I should, you know, buy into this and give it a shot. But the first thing I did, I saw I looked at the website and I saw that they had a lot of reviews and stuff and that was quite interesting, but it was like no, okay, but I want to independently research it because Who are you, I don't know who you are, I know, they're probably a really massive company and I'm probably really behind the curve. But the point is is that it's never as simple as Hi nice to meet you give me your money. It's not like that. There needs to be some sort of proof social proof there needs to be trust, whether that's through your own social media profiles, just letting people get to know you and whether that's you personally you're playing, you're teaching if you're teaching, whatever it is they need to get to know you and just gradually let it sort of m&a and let it percolate. And then the other thing, there's, there's another way of doing that which I've just mentioned with having reviews is such a massive part of running a business, so if you have had previous clients or previous students, or whatever it is, ask them to give you a review that you can then put on your site because that is that is the quickest way to sort of build any sort of trust with a potential client so I'd say do that as well. And yeah, I mean the underlining thing with the whole of this sort of, although this does seem, I'm sure it seems a little bit haphazard, but it kind of is. There's no one quick route to from A to B to get client, there's all this stuff in between because that there are journeys that happens every person that finds you. Now, it might be through, for instance, someone might hear me do an interview on a podcast and then look up my name and they end up on my website which also, you know, gives them, all this other sort of stuff to look at and blah, blah. But there's so much going on in tandem, that you kind of do have to invest a bit of time in loads of different spots loads of different spaces, whether that's through social media, whether that's, you know, getting interviews or whether that's just putting out free content. This is the other thing, if you can offer a version of your service, whether that's recording, whether that's lessons or whatever your thing is if you can give people are free, sort of try before you buy version. That is a massive, massive way, like, the next step to getting a new client 100% One of the best things I ever did for Emily drums.com, was start drum stem club and those are free drum multi tracks. I have no expectation at all with them, I put them out there, people download them, they use them, they release them and if they decide to then get in touch for some bespoke drums, that's great, but I certainly do not have any sort of caveat, you can only download these if you then work with me. I've got 1000s of people in from stem club and I'd probably say that maybe 15% Get in touch about songs, maybe 15% But that's enough. That is totally enough for me, it's enough for me to live and that was great and then the bonuses people get to use all this free content to their benefit, which is awesome. It's such a nice thing to be able to do. So I think if you can find a way of giving free, a free version that could be a free demo it doesn't have to be as big as what I created because that's, that's me, I'm always a bit excessive but that's fine. I'm okay with it via like a free demo version of what you do can be really good if you have if you are a teacher free lessons on like a, like a free YouTube series of drum lessons would be great or guitar lessons or whatever your instrument is but I think finding something that you can kind of say, Look, let me show you what I do, there is no expectation from your end, I just want to show you what I can do. So and I think the final underlining kind of thing to say with all of this is that it does, just take time. It takes time, it takes patience, it takes a lot of effort, whether it is just as simple as reaching out to people on say Facebook or Reddit or you know just leaving comments or starting conversations that can take months and months of either reaching out and hearing nothing back, or reaching out and starting a friendship and just, you know, touching base every now and again, the other thing is touching base with old clients that you've already had in the past is massive, like so massive, because you've already worked together. You already have the proof. You just need to stay top of mind as it were. So yeah, if you are doing this, don't expect results within like a week, two weeks, a month, two months after you start doing it is literally it might be hard sometimes, it is, it still is for me there's still moments that I'm like, Oh, I really don't want to do this but I know if I sow these seeds now, later on down the line I'll be thanking myself, I can't tell you the amount of times I've thanked myself and things like that. But I think underlining thing, be patient, but the overarching idea is sort of be in your clients shoes every single time you reach out to someone or you go to post a bit of content, or whatever it is. Put yourself in those client's shoes and just go right. How would I feel if someone was saying this to me or if someone went to my profile and saw this, is this beneficial to my business, is this beneficial to getting more clients. If the answer is yes, don't do it and go do more of it and be consistent with it but if it's not maybe take a different approach. That's all I'm saying. Anyway, that is my two cents on the matter and as I say it's kind of slightly different approach to what I've said in the past about, you know, being on physical sites gigs sound better, reaching out on Facebook, Reddit, still do all of that, that's fine, but I think that kind of underlying why you're doing it, that's so much greater and the approach that you have with people on those platforms is so much greater than the reaching out the actual action in itself so I hope this helps in some way with you getting some new clients and if you have any questions on this subject anything else put in the chat. So, okay, I will go to the chat live in the room in a second, I have had a couple of questions that came in beforehand, so I'm going to answer those. Oh, that's the other thing, if you want to hear any anything else about you know starting a remote recording business specifically, then I've got this free workshop, if you just go to Emily is live.com, forward slash, remote recording, you can check out the free workshop there, so let's go to the questions that came in beforehand. Oh, this one is from Nathan who's in the room as it were today anyway. And so Nathan is saying, How did you get so confident going live and any tips for your first live stream, and how did I get so confident. I just did it a lot. It's like anything that I do, I think I, if it scares me, I generally do it and then I do it a lot so it doesn't scare me anymore. Don't get me wrong, these things still do scare me slightly and the way, the only thing the only fear that I have with these live streams and have always had is that no one's going to show up. And that's why I always make sure that I have something hopefully valuable I was gonna say something valuable but that's not for me to to to decide that's for you to decide what I deem valuable to give to the live stream so even if there was no one in the room right now. And, and I was like, oh and I've run out of stuff to talk to, we've still done 22 minutes of chatting, I feel like I've given something and that's fine, so I always have something to fall back on, I'm like right okay if there's no one there. At least I've given a bit of value. Same with these, the luckily because people send questions in before I can answer questions, and that can be part of this. And so I think having something that you can control is a really good way to feel anchored, I suppose that's how I feel anchored. And then I know that if people do turn up which they have which is lovely. And I can just go into that chaos and it's wonderful and it can be very organic and we'll just see where it goes, which is great and if you thrive on that kind of chaos. That's brilliant, some people don't. That's totally fine too. When I was doing my live streams Emily drums, calm, the whole thing was, I'm recording. And it just so happens that there's people there. People can chat, or they cannot chat sometimes though no one would chat sometimes there'd be no one there, but it didn't matter because it was like well I'm just doing my thing and if people pop in to say hi, then that's really nice. So yeah, if you can find something like to ease you in, where you can just kind of, if someone's there you can say hi, that's a nice bonus. But you're doing something anyway so it's not a big deal like putting prep like taking pressure off, however you need to do that in your own way, I think it's really, really valuable I still struggle, though, if I'm going live for going live sake. I find that a little bit stressful, it's fine after the first sort of couple of minutes but initially I'm like, Okay, let's do this. And, in fact there's a, there's now where did I do that live stream. What was the live streaming, there was a live streaming platform that was native to Twitter. It wasn't vine that was the short video thing. I'm whistling. Anyway, when I did that, there was one time that I did that live on Twitter, and no one turned up, and I was just sat with a cup of tea, and I had nothing to say, and I felt so awkward, and just like, What am I doing this is rubbish, who's gonna watch this who's and anyway, it was a lesson, it was very much a lesson that I need to have something prepared, because otherwise, who cares. I know some people can just sit and not have anything prepared but I need to and I know that about myself, and that's okay. So I hope that that that kind of helps Nathan, as always a bit of a ramble but it's okay, as though we've had another question from an anonymous person who has said have you ever suffered with performance anxiety, and well as I've just said about the live stream thing. Yes, I have not massively because what happens with me. And so in terms of let's talk about gigs, because I'm pretty sure that this this was about gigs. So, the only times that I remember having performance anxiety was the very first gig that I did. And I remember feeling physically sick now I'm very lucky that this is gonna sound strange. I'm very lucky I'm a bit of a vomiting phobia. And so feeling sick, is one of the most scary things to me and I hate it. So, when I felt that I recognised it and I thought right I never want to feel like that again. So I worked out why I felt like that now a big part of the reason was that it was my first gig, and it was because it was fear of the unknown, which is a completely natural response, I think, and if you're suffering with anxiety on that level, I think that's absolutely fine. It's a new situation. But later on, I found myself feeling no anxiety at all, I wouldn't get nervous, I don't get nervous now. And the reason I think, is because I'm so well prepared, because I am I'm anxious beforehand like I have anxiety about things that can go wrong. And my response to that is to kind of plug up the holes. So plug up everything that I feel like could go wrong. I know how to deal with it in my head if that happens and I'll do that and then if that happens then I'll just do that, that happens that's not ideal but what I'll do is, X, Y, Zed. But what that means is, it gives me confidence like walking on stage, that no matter what happens, I know what I'm doing, let's go base level. I know all the songs inside and out. So that's the base level that absolutely, that's an absolute that is non negotiable I have to know all my parts I need to know exactly what I'm doing but there is no, there is not a single doubt about what I'm doing on stage. But then the second layer of. And if this goes wrong, then I just have to do this and I need to know how to do that, just in case that happens, and all of these other things are covered and there are very very very few things that will happen on stage that I don't have a plan in my head for, and that's not to say that, you know, I've got every eventuality, sorted if the, I don't know if something fell if a light fell from the thing from the rafters onto stage or something I wouldn't know what to do about that but I'm pretty sure that my instincts would kick, kick in very well. But what that means is that I don't I don't fear it I don't have any anxiety, I'm just, I'm ready, I'm prepared, and I want to enjoy it and it allows me to enjoy every second of being on stage which is pretty awesome. And then yeah and it's the same with things like this, I am prepared to a point that if things go wrong, I'm okay about it, and it wouldn't be ideal. And you know, things do go wrong, a couple of weeks ago, camera decided to pack up. Okay, well that's not ideal but anyway we get on with it because it's not a big deal, it's not a huge problem. And then, yeah, so I think that's how i i The reason I don't really suffer with performance anxiety, at least at the moment I may develop it in the future, who knows, and then I cannot give you a completely different answer. But that's how I sort of curb the anxiety, the nervousness, all that sort of stuff so I hope that helps in some way. And the final question I had in before I went live, was, how often do you practice, and tell us your favourite Roodman Okay, his his the tape. I, I don't practice that much unless I have a very specific goal in mind, and the goal, very rarely comes from my own brain, it's often a goal of circumstance. So if there's a specific gig that I'm sort of practising for that will be the goal and everything that's entailed within that so yeah I practice towards practical goals if that makes sense not practising for practising sake, I am terrible at just sitting down and playing like just rudimentary I get so bored because and always, I really frustrates I frustrate myself with it, but if I don't have a reason to do something like a really clear reason, then I'm just like, well this is kind of like throwing a dart at a dartboard with a blindfold on, because I could practice this thing, I can get really good at it. I might never use it. So why am I doing this, and I'm very much the person that wants to be. What's the word like purposeful. I want to get, I want to do the best job possible in the most efficient way possible. I'm an efficient freak. I just, I love to be efficient in many aspects of my life which can lead to a bit of stress to be honest but that's okay. So yeah, I need, I need a really clear goal so I practice when I have a very good reason to in terms of my favourite Roodman, I mean it can't be singles and doubles because literally every other Ruderman is made up of singles and doubles, so I will always say that, basically, I'm sorry, that's not a better reason, and for all the teachers in the room, I apologise. Yes, I know. Oh well, sometimes that can be your reason, in fact that was my reason for years, practising stuff was basically because I had a lesson every week, and I didn't want to let down my teacher Mike Dover, every week. That was my bigger reason, it's very rarely, for my own benefit, if that makes sense, is usually for someone else's. I know that about myself, if you can find what works for you. Work out how your brain works and use it to your advantage. Life changing. Trust me, but it does sound a bit crazy, but that's okay, anyway, right, we're gonna have some questions in the room, if you want to join in on this live question element and discussion, mostly about food, then just go to Emily's live.com And, yeah, we can chat so let's see what's happening in the room so where did I get to. So Mesa John says, I love this intro may so I'm glad you do so the intro was massively sort of created by you guys that are listening and watching, I got some of the guys to just send me in some audio of them going Emily's live and I just decided, you know, This is about the community this is not, you know, I'm just here, it's not about me really it's about you guys, so I thought well that's what it should be. That's what the intrusion of be and I'm so glad that I did, I love it too. It's some fun I just love hearing all your voices. And so, what else is going on So Nathan says, looks like we Oh, we got all the bands together yeah it looks like the the bonkers squad as we'd like to I like to call you guys I think you'd like to call you guys that too. And yeah, it looks like everyone's here which is really amazing. And and Stanley joins us here. Hello. How you doing, a blessed lunchtime to you listening on my way to work up. Well we're glad to have you Adam and you're typing somehow which is quite impressive. Well my chat has just jumped down and my goodness, there's a lot of chat going on. Jed says, Oh, this is why I asked why Jed was off work and he said it's a good reason. A weak not doing a lot, low. Good, I like to hear that because, as a person who is not very good at stopping and relaxing, it always makes me happy when I hear other people are taking time for themselves so kudos to you more of that we like that grandma is here hello Graham How are you, Are you well, so me and Graham at the weekend were literally within half a mile of each other, and geeks, but we weren't able to meet. I will fully hold on my hands and say I'm taking the blame for that one gramme I apologise, it's just you know, once you get into those festival sites, They really don't like you get an out again. And so, Allie says fantastic news Charlotte this about Charlotte studio being completely booked up after last week us talking about how much we really didn't enjoy rehearsing on the hall, I know some people really do. And Adrian and the bass says, Am I the only bass player in haha I think you might be, actually, I think we shall see I'm sure that people will be letting themselves be known if they are, and Nathan says, Emily Yes, that is delicious motorway food. I love the salted beef, I love sewing big, this is the sandwich that I'm giving myself after, after this live stream. So before mustard, mayo, I've tried making salt beef. Many times, and I fail miserably is the brining it's like seven days which is such a, investment in time in a dish, which is fine, I don't mind that it's the bit afterwards. Every time I go to cook it I do the slow cooking thing, and every time it's overdone. And, you know, I can just instead go to a deli and it's so perfect, and I'm so jealous. Every time in fact there's a place just down the street from where I am right now and it's making me want to go there, even though I have this and now I'm realising I probably should have done that because, although this will be delicious. The place down the road is all spectacular. So anyone that's got any good salt beef recipes please let me know. Moon cat drum, says Dan Marino is the dolphins guy. Okay. Is that is that the guy who he's having a meeting with, or if I buy it. Oh, do you know what this is. So, oh it's Rick Marino, okay yeah I really don't know who Rick Marino is then Dan Marino I know Rick Marino, I have no idea. And Nathan says to me, you won't get the meal, do you won't get that in a meal deal haha yeah probably wouldn't, would you, I didn't even look at the meal deal, I probably should have done. I think even getting itself, I was like right we can't start adding chocolate and all sorts I bought fruit with it just to offset it but we'll see. I'm not sure that works. Morris passes now that was Einhorn, or was it Finkle. Yes, so now we're talking about Ace Ventura pet detective which is I think is one of my favourite films like from when I was a kid, I loved that film so much. I don't think Oh, I heard him think of, think of a 900 also question. For anyone that knows that film like and has watched it as many times as I have, you know when he's in the hospital. He's pretending to be have mental health issues and stuff, and he's in the tutu, and he's pretending to be an old player, you know when he's doing like a Scrum or a huddle or whatever they call it an American football. Now, my memory says that he says, Blue 42 Blue 42 hot. I look this up, and he doesn't say that. I asked my sister. She thinks that that's what he said, looked it up, not what he said, My husband also thinks that that's why he said, There's no way he said so, does anyone else remember is Fincher going Blue 42 Blue 42 heart. Just, I know I am going crazy, but really, I just feel like I'm going crazy. It's that the Mandela Effect, maybe it's that Charlotte says for house today. Hi everyone, it really is. And that Adrian says drums are such an important thing for me. Well, do you know what bass players are a very important thing to us Adrian so we appreciate you being hit very very much amongst all these drummers sorry there are a lot of drummers here there are also other types of people we have singers we have truck drivers we have all sorts but Yes, welcome, welcome, and you can be like all of our bass player. Nathan says haha walrus TAS at the old Su, not the Newzoo the old Zoo. I don't know what that is. Oh my goodness. And Ali is saying, bass is important for us drums, it certainly is we love bass players, and Nathan is saying yes Adrian in the bass rhythm section in the house. I've got to say Adrian you're going to be busy with all of us dramas here, and Morris test is our major recording, headaches, the other day I had one of my bands in my studio to record some demos, but Reaper chapter wobbly and kept putting random skips glitches and hiccups in. Oh dude, we have all been there. Can I just say, we've all been there. It is a nightmare when your gear just decides they're not having it that day, I did a whole interview once that the guy on the other end was saying, oh I'm hearing this weird noise. And I was like really that's weird, and I recorded a bit of myself and I listened back and I didn't hear it. I was like I don't know what you're talking about and rather than just going right, why don't we both restart our computers and then we can get on with the interview, I didn't do that. And I think the reason I didn't do that is because I was embarrassed because I felt like I didn't know what I was doing, and I just felt like a complete imposter usually imposter syndrome stuff. Anyway, we did this whole interview and it was to help this dude, promote his business and I'm really like the guys and he is amazing. And anyway, I sent it off, and lo and behold, he was like, yeah, there's a, there's like, there was a hum on it for the whole thing is like a 20 minute interview, and I was like, I'm so sorry this is 100% my fault and then he was like, I think I've been maybe EQ out and anyway he did magician proper magician, but I felt so bad. So, yeah, sometimes just switching off switch it ON again does fix it, and we will test says, apparently something to do with bit rates or sample rate or some such. I figured out. Yeah, it. There are certain things that I think I have holes in my knowledge for, and it's things like that. I'm very good with practically working out how to do things, but when it comes down to the scientific reason that sample rates on bit rates don't work together or I struggle. It's just not how my brain functions I don't, I don't think maybe it does but I certainly have some holes in that area so I completely understand agencies to alley Absolutely I learned drums to one step. Oh, I learned drums to understand the bass better, Adrian. You are a hero for doing that because that is incredible just to, to understand your instrument. We appreciate you. Can I just say as a drummer. Can I say, Adrian, and the bass. We appreciate you. Thank you. So Nathan says I know if I did a talking video I find it hard to just use my own voice. Well can I say So Nathan. First of all, is seems to be this incredible voiceover eyes without realising that he's this incredible voice I rise does amazing accents, and also occasionally sends these, you know those. What are they call me emojis is it, I don't know the ones that move, he sends these new emojis of animals with him doing his various accents. They're incredible. And I'm pretty convinced that if you started just like a whole tic tock just with that, I would absolutely be following you and watching it and laughing because it's hilarious. I love it. And, but yeah, then if you're not comfortable doing that then just doing your own way, do a whole podcast where you are a giraffe. Why not in an accent, if you can hold that up for a whole night will be really impressive if you can hold out for a home series or even on an episode would be amazing, but as we have discussed earlier, I think it would turn into like an admin style thing and what was that called creature comforts. It kind of was a bit like that when he was doing it and there's nothing wrong with that I love creature comforts. So, David is saying hi to Adam, and Adrian says, There's nothing better than a bass and drum jam. That is true. We do love a jam we do Nathan says weirdly by hanging out with some new musicians on some depth jobs recently I got some work website work, but it's still work. Haha, well this is the other thing, things really crossover in a strange way sometimes so that's perfect Nathan I'm not being funny Nathan, but musicians need websites, but it is not a natural. I don't think it is for me at least, I've been doing websites since I was about 16 Probably, maybe 17 My first website was horrendous but it was you know it was done in HTML, it was literally a picture of me with the underneath just said Emily Dolan Davies drummer, and my email address, that was it. That was my very first website, there was me entering into that and the only reason that I did was because I'm a control freak and I don't like having to rely on other people for doing things like that. So anyway, I think that's great, I think, you know, cross pollination of if you have more than one sort of job that you do, then, yeah just it's great it's casual, casual as well it's not trying to you know pitch yourself or anything like that it's just you mentioned something and some goes, oh I really need that. I think that's such a great way to get work it's very organic. It's not gross and sleazy sort of like, you know, trying to sell yourself hate all that hate is so much a hate. So yeah, that's amazing. Nathan says to Adrian absolutely mate, you're the facilitator of the stank face my friend, my friend. So that's the face when you're playing in something sounds so good and like, Oh, God. Well, mine is not quite. I think that's the stank face. I'm sorry if you're listening back and you can't see my face right now, but it's really sexy. That's the stank face of like, all this is so good. All so groovy and in the pocket. Everyone knows that face if you're a musician, I'm pretty sure, whereas test says any Hey, any who gotta love you and leave you folks have a great morning day, evening night everyone. Or as TAs, it was lovely having you I'm sure it's quite late there so enjoy your the rest of your evening and see you another time hopefully Adrian says commonly called BASS face haha yes Face Face there's like dramas don't face it face to face, we like a bass face the shoulders have to go up as well. So everyone is just saying goodbye to Nathan and Nathan is giving me one of these is that, what is that called floss, dust off floss and that's flossing with that. What is that movement that again if you're listening but you can't see. Oh we have Phil in Catalunya Hello how are you haven't seen me forever. So Phil is from when I was, when I were when I have been in metal bands from when I was like 15 I feel like we did me when I was 15 Phil, again, another person who is amazing at web design and doing all that sort of stuff, amazing photographer. We love you, Phil and miss you very much actually very much hope steps well as well. So Phil says, for sake of sakes, I may have to still fill you are welcome to any of my strange things at any time, for sure. Yeah, I hear. This is my brain, welcome. So David Furman says Nathan, this is a Georgian dance technique move, or this is this kind of, I can't remember what it's called as soon as I say, you'll be able to imagine it if you're listening back so I apologise for the lack of description right now. Now this says, I think the latest reported figure is eight points of contact before someone will begin to consider buying into you. Thank you, Nathan Walker great facts to have so, yeah, I mean, I'd say that very conservative personally because if I think about. Right, so, yeah, that's, I mean is a lot a point of contact, but I think for me, it needs to be not, like, necessarily, eight direct points of contact if that make sense so not necessarily eight times I reached out to you and go, Hey Nathan, how you doing genies and drums recording or how you are, what you're up to, you're also side note, you wouldn't need drums recording because you're a drummer, but I think it can also be eight points of for instance someone listening to or watching this and you feel like you know the person a little better, you know, this is that that is a side benefit of doing this. It's not the reason for doing it, but it definitely helps, you know people that watch or listen to this, they feel like they get to know me a bit better, which is awesome. I really like it, it's really nice because it means it opens up conversations that I wouldn't usually have, which is great, by the fact that I was just able to talk about Ace Ventura for a couple of minutes, it's fun, and I don't think I've ever spoken about that before and that blew 42 thing if someone can enlighten me I'd really like it. Anyway, yeah, eight points of contact. Well there you go. So you need to be being consistent, putting stuff out there, either one on one, or one to many. But yeah, thank you, thank you very much for that that little factoid there Nathan You are a star. And, oh, Nathan says, Oh to David front man does it have a name that dance move. Allie says great advice. Great advice. Emily, thank you very much. Love these chats sadly can't stay for all of it, but big hugs to friends of Emily rockin bonkers family, we love you, Allie, it's always lovely to have you here as well. And Adrian says well everyone it's time for me to get back to my writing coffee break is over and my basis getting lonely. Have a great day, Adrian, it's been lovely lovely lovely having you here. It's always nice to see you have been in on one of these are a couple of these before, I'm sure of it but it's lovely to have you reintroduced to the group, as it were, and I go slapping the bass and Adrian just says thank you to me. Thank you. You rock, so do you. So do you Adrian, so everyone is basically saying goodbye to Adrian. And now we're talking about dance moves from the Cossacks potentially, which I have no idea, although we go. Adrian says the move that I'm trying to describe very rubbish Lee is the dab your right is dabbing. That's what it's called, which I can't do because I'm too old and I've done what I'm doing. And, but yes, that's an apparently that there is something Georgian about that also. There's traditional Georgian dots, apparently it's involved, that I need to stop talking about it because I really don't know enough about anything that Scottish drummer is here. Hello, how are you. Hi Emily how's the new studio coming along. It's coming along. That's the main thing I think we're still three weeks out hopefully the thing that we're waiting on are the windows and the sliding doors, not the accordion the sliding doors and yeah I think it will be done in about three weeks, it's all painted now I will put up another video or picture or something to show you guys. So yes, it's all painted the little kitchenette is currently going in. What else was being done today, I don't even know Do you know what, I don't know, every day so much gets done and I'm like, oh my god, it's so close. We're getting flooring at the beginning of next week, then the baffles are coming in, like the treatments coming in the end of next week I want to say, and yeah and then we start getting windows and doors, and then hopefully, I'll start being able to book air and a record, I literally can't wait I am booking off two weeks to just set it all up and get it sounding amazing and let's face it just being in that room and having fun and hitting things. Oh, I literally can't wait I'm been able to record or play properly since June. And it's killing me, it probably doesn't sound like very much, especially considering what we've all just been through, but it's what it is, I can't wait. I'm so happy. And, right. This is him. Hello Fergus, how are you hopefully have you well studio looks awesome, thank you very much. I'm. Yes, like I said I'm very very excited. Has my chat just sorry my chat is jumping, but I don't know where I was, oh there we go. So hello to focus and mooncup Drums says to me or anyone else, electronics, how do you determine what sounds to use when playing hybrid any good sample banks etc you'd recommend. So for me whenever I use electronics, it's purely to use the sounds that were off an album. So they're very rarely drum sounds. They're more like percussive sounds or electronic snare sound, obviously I work with Kim Wilde, I have worked with Howard Jones and also the Thompson twins so very sample heavy very. Yeah, electronic drum at seven days I like all those sorts of drum machines that were around at the time, is very much recreating those sounds. So in terms of actual real drum sounds. I mean, I, to be honest, I wouldn't be able to hazard a guess if you're trying to get real drum sounds my the fun bit for me is recreating album sounds that aren't drums, especially if you're using a hybrid setup like us the acoustic drums drums, and then the electronic drums for I'm trying to think of like an example. Oh, okay, his. This is random, and in fact I can't remember the band, or the song name which is great. It starts with claps. It's a crowded house tune. I think now that you're the Vertibird that that song, and welcome to my awful singing. Yeah, there's like claps on that so I would. Yeah, for instance, just put some claps on a pad and play that because it's quite a big part of the song. I would also get some singing lessons and be better at that. As soon as I started doing that, I was like, this is a mistake. Okay, well here we are. So that's fine. And Nathan says, Sorry David says to Nathan the outfit looks the same but it's totally different. I don't know what outfit we're talking about I apologise I probably missed something there. And that says, was it Twitter or Twitch, it was Twitter, this is the live stream that went terribly wrong because I don't even know if I think there were, this was, this was the worst bit about it from what I remember, it was a live Twitter stream, and there were people there, but they weren't talking. So it literally with people watching me with a cup of tea, not saying anything. And I've never probably have felt so awkward. And it just felt so weird and I did not like it and I thought, well, this isn't for me. So it took me a long time to get back to the live stream thing because it really like. Yeah, in fact it didn't affect me that's too strong a word, but it certainly made me go oh no that's not for me until I made myself do more of it and I was actually no this is really fun. So yeah, I don't know, it's worth trying and when things like that happen. Laurie is here hello Laura yes you made it. Well done. Does this mean you finally got the link I'm so sorry for those that aren't getting the link for some reason in their email. If you want to get the link. Well, hopefully we'll sign up at Emily's live.com Vega says having recorded in studios all over the UK for over 35 years, I have a mini set up in the house, in the House Studio, which is a TD 30 KV using superior drama samples and Steve slate drums, What's your views. So, this I think is quite a popular sell for short Steven Slate drums superior dramat So yeah. Amazing. I don't have a huge amount of experience using that kind of setup so I think it's just about finding what's right for you and what you enjoy using because at the end of the day you need to feel inspired when you're playing your instrument. And if you can't get the sounds that you like or you can't play the drums or your instrument in the way you want to. It's kind of a moot point so the fact that you've found something that works for you, I think is just, that is the key, I think that's everything. Fergus says I've sent you MIDI recordings before I'm sure and I've just finished in tracks for some big producers on the MIDI and they love them. Fergus, thank you for sharing that, because a lot of people say to me. I only have MIDI drums, therefore I can't do remote recording Fergus is a prime example of the fact that you can and actually some producers prefer it, it's great for them because then they can chop and change sounds and you know they can manipulate stuff in a different way. So, if you feel like you can't do remote recording because you have MIDI drums, look to Fergus, he is amazing, folks you have sent me stuff, and it sounds brilliant. It sounds brilliant. Now, you don't have to be always be transparent about the fact that that's what your setup setup is I think. And, but, yes, celebrate it lean into it focus is doing it, if focus is doing it if I'm doing it, Anyone can do it. I'm telling you, so Edmund is saying question was the fastest land animal haha I am enjoying this. What a cool gift for folks. Edmond, thank you. Firstly, Landon Well, I mean I would assume it's the CIO, but I, I don't know. So I, side note, that is my husband's favourite animal is a cheater. I can't see why he likes it as fast but I think it's something else, it's the market, or is it the head. Something about the head. I think he likes it, it's so little, old, I don't know it, I can't remember. And I should be able to remember these sorts of things but I can't. Nathan says to me, yes, I literally said blue 42 along with you. That's totally the Mandela effect. But why do we have, why, why, Nathan, I feel like you'll be able to explain this feat. Why do we all remember it is blue 42 I just thought maybe it was a UK version that came out, and then they changed it for some reason because maybe blue 42 means something different now or I don't know I just I couldn't work it out at all. But you're saying it too. And, oh, my checkings jumping It's so frustrating. Right Nathan says we've changed timelines again haha alternate universe for you too. Funny you should say that I was watching a tic toc the other day about this woman who said that she woke up one day in our 30s She woke up and she was 11 years old again, really fascinating. I mean, it might not be true ever but she it was sort of this idea of stepping into an alternate timeline, really fascinating might be true might not be true. Who knows but interesting idea anyway so now we're on the alternate Nanbu 42 universe so maybe that's how we can tell which parallel universe we're in it's by watching Ace Ventura and that scene. Oh Ben is here. Hello, how are you. Hi, Emily, it's great to see your success here with your recording business. Thank you. That's so kind. What's the most challenging part about remote recording for an artist, most challenging part. Oh that's a good question. Do you know what, at some point all of it is challenging and then you just do as I was saying earlier, you just do more of it and it becomes less challenging. I think for me personally, the only thing that really, I do still struggle with sometimes, although I just have to talk to myself and then I'm fine, is sometimes interacting over email can be slightly. Like, I can read into the way that things are said sometimes and think that someone is being rude or. Yeah, I just read into it. Most of the time it's fine and I'm like, oh this is great and I take it in a very positive way because that's just how I am. But sometimes I do read into it in an unhelpful way, I suppose, and it's usually to do with if I get revisions, then I'm like, oh my god, they hate it, but I'm rubbish, or this is the conversation that goes on in my head, but actually then I just need, all I do is I talk to myself and just say, look, you're really putting too much emphasis on this actually what is literally like a bar that they want changed or is literally like this what they don't want this one here or, you know, I blow it out of proportion a little bit, so I think. And again that's that just comes from working remotely it comes from working over email, it comes from sitting in a room by yourself for a long time, and those voices in your head sometimes getting a little bit too loud and that's fine and as I say, it usually just is solved by me having to work on myself, but other than that. Yeah, sometimes a bit of communication occasionally like what one person means versus what I think they mean. If they're trying to describe something for instance. But again, very rarely, because then we'll just start working with audio so I'll get them to sing to me what they mean or show me a reference point or wherever, so it and again, it's just working through these things, so I'm sure once the new studio is up and running in a few weeks I'm sure there'll be a plethora of new things that will be difficult and I can report back to you and tell you how I've worked through them but I'm anticipating that so it won't be a shock to me. I'm sure there will be a lot of frustrations with getting the best sound possible and all of that because it's a new room and, which is exciting but at the same time, absolutely terrifying because I am, I am not someone who thinks they know everything, I don't. I know a very small amount about a few things. And I work it out by being put in those situations. So, let's see what fun frequencies my new room will hold and what new positions and what mics, I need to put in the right positions. Oh, it's gonna be amazing and frustrating and overwhelming and beautiful and all the things and I can't wait I literally can't wait, and the Scottish drama says it's a dab it is, it's a dab but that was the dance move, I was trying to do for those listening back I'm trying to do a dab and I'm doing a very poor job of it which I'm sure you can imagine, follow me in saying hi oh hi, how are you feel it's so lovely to see you on here, it really is. Devin is here Hi Emily Hello Devin How are you, I feel like you are a fairly new name to me but I apologise if I'm wrong about that. Edmond Massey, says Dan Marino. Blue 42 We have another person that is saying that it's blue 42 You wait till I report back to my family about this, they are just gonna be like, What is this, David front man says, No, Cossacks, again lol i don't know i don't know what we're talking about Charlotte says, Watch out Nathan's going to turn that sliding door waves hands into some sort of video. Of course he is. Nathan has a talent for taking parts of my live streams and putting them slightly out of context. And I can just about imagine what he's gonna do with the sliding doors one, which probably I will put up on either Instagram or tick tock so you can see me and my full Nathan ized glory day I need to Nathan, can you send me that other one that you did on that live stream with the, the guru, because that still makes me laugh. To this day, but I need to post it up somewhere that is a little more permanent than wherever I did post it up on that day. If you still have it you might not have it, in which case please ignore this, and Nathan says to Charlotte me making suggestive videos of other people doing innocent things never yeah Nathan never not Not you. Not you. Dead says are you going to live recordings when you do live streams for your recordings when your studio is complete, I hope so I have missed them recordings. I'm, I probably will, but very very occasionally Jed. The reason is that I realise that, as you can tell if you're new here to these live streams, you can tell I put a lot of energy into everything I do, but when I'm so when I'm recording that takes a lot of my energy, but when I'm live streaming as well, it's great and I love it but it got to a point where I was doing like one live stream, I would it would knock me out for a couple of days. And I, it's not sustainable, unfortunately for me at the moment, maybe it will be at some point, but for the moment I think it will be very occasional but I do plan on doing some live streams like some special one off live streams, whilst recording. But yeah, it's, it's still, we'll see. We'll see, hopefully, is what I'm saying. So Devin is saying, Hi Emily, I love your content. Thank you so much. My question is I have an eight channel interface do most of your clients ask for more than eight tracks, and so, Devin I'm going to turn this around on you. It's all that matters. All that matters is what you have to offer. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing, don't worry about if someone is offering more or less tracks, you have eight tracks. That's what you offer to your potential clients, that is, you know, That is your premise you often that you tell them what they are, you show them samples of the work that you do the playing, how you play. I know people that offer one track, like literally like a room mic or maybe two or three tracks. I happen to offer 16 tracks that doesn't make me any better or any worse than anyone else. It's just what I offer, and that's that's down to, you know my choice, but if you have eight tracks, you can get those eight tracks sounding amazing so by anyone that's listening or watching that doesn't know why me, so eight separate channels of drums so each drum is individually miked So, eight different channels. I offer 16 different channels but one isn't better than the other, absolutely that is not the thing that makes something better or worse, it's, it's the amalgamation of everything, including things outside of the playing, including how you interact with your clients, like if you treat them like they are the most important person in the world to you, which that's how I treat my clients, they are you know if I'm working with you. You are everything in that moment you are my whole world, like I say everything that I do I put everything into and that's the same when I work with a client, you know, alternatively, I've heard about people that aren't like that with their clients, they're very much like, Yeah, I'll get around to working with you, when I have time maybe just give me the money and I'll let you know when I'm maybe we'll do it this really nonchalant really dismissive attitude to people. I can't stand that. And that person may be fine being like that, I'm not fine being like that don't like treating people like that, I don't think it's right for me. So therefore I don't. And that comes back to that sort of how do you want to be treated so I think yeah, just lean into the fact that you have eight tracks to give, that's awesome. The other thing is, You know, you're discounting that maybe you can also be adding percussion on to that as a separate overdub, so maybe we'll be offering 10 tracks a couple of tracks a shaker maybe, maybe even a couple of tracks a tambourine do we love a good tambourine or cowbell as often ends up coming out on my live streams when I'm recording. I blame you guys for that by the way, I think once I thought the cowbell was a good idea but I'm pretty sure I've put on. Yeah, more than one track. Anyway, it can always be deleted. That's why I would say at least it can be deleted so it's fine. Fergus says you're the voice. I am, I'm a voice, I don't know if I'm the voice but I'm able it's for sure. Grande says Charlotte baby needs an accordion soundtrack. Yeah, well, I can almost guarantee that Nathan is on it right now, editing and lovely video of me miming an accordion slash glass doors, slash Chara the bit, Nathan. Are we on a wavelength, you're probably already there, where he's saying, There's no way that Roger productive was murdered on this balcony and he's behind the glass drop. That is what I bet is happening in Nathan's brain but I'm not sure I did it well enough. Anyways that says don't believe her, she seems great sounds so, you're so sweet. I really don't. I'm a terrible singer. It's okay though. I'm okay with that. I've never worked on it I shouldn't be good, it would be just go against everything that I believe if I was any decent amount at singing because I believe that you have to work at things. Laurie says, Yep, you definitely oh you're the voice. Oh, that's the name of the song, you're the voice. Yes, you're the voice. Yeah, thank you guys, Laurie, and who else did it, oh Fergus, thank you Fergus, thank you Laurie, John Farnham. I thought, see, I've got it all wrong. I've got it all wrong. But yeah, that is the song that has the claps on it, you could use the electronics for I think that was, that's a good Nathan says nice bass line in that song too. Yep, I really really really really enjoy that song, every time I hear it I really like this. I love her when he his songs like that. I forgotten how much I enjoy the song, brah someone's daughter. Yeah, exactly a great song, terrible singing I'm so sorry. Phil says, got to run been fantastic to see you again, we'll catch up probably soon. Yes, Phil, hopefully it banners or something like that. Yes, sir. I was gonna say sounds like they say, Okay, see you soon, Phil, lovely to see love Steph, Nathan is just laughing at me being silly, basically, Larissa, someone saw her. My thing is not Jed says I have a Roland TD. As soon as you are done here I'm going on mine so many sounds and neighbour friendly. Dude, I'm with you 100 cent Jed, I started out on an electronic kit and it was for exactly that reason, neighbour friendly headphones on volume control. Everyone's a winner, baby. It was a Yamaha that was a DT X Pro. I think I can't remember. Oh, that's terrible back I remember that. Anyway, love that kid, it was the, you know, that was my first kick I think I got it when I was 14 Maybe I can't remember but anyway, it was awesome and yes, we love it. Fergus says thanks so much, Emily similar feeling there to me getting my first kit, do is just everything and drums are just so good. They were from answers so about getting more clients. While I'm a stem club rabid fan. One of my goals is to get 1,000,010 or 12 for real, quotes, I have so many drums in my head and I don't know who's on the drums. Wait, I'm confused. Okay, so about getting more clients, while I'm a stem club club rabid fan so rabid fan, so David is a is a fan and a member of the drums of drums stem club I keep calling it that drum stem club when that's not his name. He is a right, he's in drums and one of my goals is to get a million in bracket, 10 or 12 for my, for real. Alright, quote, Oh, you mean for your songs. I have so many drums in my head, and I know who's on the drums, it will really, I've got you now, sorry, this is this is absolutely my fault, my brain is slowing down it needs that sandwich, you see. Well why don't why don't we have a goal of just one quote first slowly does it David slowly does it I know that you are a machine when it comes to creating music which is amazing and I love that. But yeah, for now, like, just, just keep enjoying drum stem club there will be new drum stands up. Once this new studio is up and running, they'll probably be quite an influx of new stems to be honest because I've been messing around with sounds and it's a perfect excuse for me to be like putting stuff out there so just, just enjoy Johnson club Do you know what, if we end up if you end up getting a quote from me. That will be great, but that's not why we're friends. I just think you're awesome, so let's just keep hanging out and if it happens, it happens if it doesn't, that's fine. I'm just glad to know you, the Scottish drama says hey is Fergus, oh, wait, hold on. Have we got to focus is now then, I'm confused. Hey its focus the Roman kids are sick. MIDI is a lot of fun. I see your videos and they sound killer, but unload online drum studio has to say down with MIDI. Hey man. Each to their own that's all I can say, I know people that are not a fan of MIDI, and that is fine like that is absolutely fine. I'm a fan of embracing stuff, I'm a fan of what you can create using things like MIDI and even down to like, nothing to do with sounds, things like triggering, other things I part of the show that I did once. I use MIDI to trigger lights, and it was just awesome. It was so good, it's such an interesting way to think so i think is, you know, downward maybe that's fine but in my head that means you're restricting yourself, and I don't know why you would do that I don't know why you would have any sort of restrictive, sort of beliefs or thoughts that you couldn't, it just means you you're not willing to explore somewhere, I don't understand that it's not how my brain works, I want to always explore all the time, all the time, I'm greedy, that's what it is. Edwin says enjoyed this. Good night, Mr. Ed, Edmund, it's been lovely having you here. Thank you so much more are you then you must be in Australia, no. And Laurie says the Ace Ventura clip for you. Oh, I'm assuming that you have put a link in the thing but they YouTube doesn't like links being put in so I apologise I won't be able to do that right now focuses Hi Bob Hope you're well man. I don't know who Bob is okay, so he says, he said, 351 it has no meaning for actual football lol. Yeah, that's what it is actually isn't it when we, when we watched it back it was that, but that's not how any of us remember it's so weird. How does that Mandela thing that Mandela Effect thing happen, I just, I, it's, I magic, l says L drums Oh Bennett says great attitude and I'm sure your new recording space will be fabulous. I agree, communication and keeping that mind, confident, is very important. Thanks for the answer No worries at all, no worries at all and yeah I think, you know what, keeping your mind sort of healthy and confident is amazing, it's, it's rare. I find it really, really, really, really, really difficult. I am trying to get better, I'm always trying to get better. But yeah, it's the, the hardest part of that everything for me is me. I'm usually the one that's getting in my own way, but I recognise that, which is great because it has great power and I'm like well, if it is me, I can just work around it I can work around me I can work with me, I can, you know, it's, it's annoying and brilliant at the same time, and may sell so sorry I was preparing parts for the student. I've lost the chat. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, in fact to be away for a little bit as we have a singer, Emily sync, never, never, ever, You Never Want to Hear me, in fairness, and this is what Tony always says to me. Yeah, but you are on that darkness album so I am on some backing vocals screaming on last mankind, I can't remember exactly which songs, definitely mudslide million dollar strong maybe as well. And I think maybe another couple but I can't remember. Vega says UI Emily but I meant, John Farnham. Oh, you're the voice yes sorry I'm a little behind in the chat here, Vegas says I learned it in the 80s. It's a great song. And Nathan says Everyone's a winner maybe hot chocolate, that's another one I was gonna say. Everyone's a winner, baby. That's a fact, but I think it's that's the truth. Again, my brain David frogman says yes, stem top first. Yes, David, I love that you use stem drum stem club is such a brilliant way that's amazing. Charlotte says, I've been sorting out hard drives whilst watching because I need to back up all the last five years of me drums, calm onto a couple of hard drives and I've been avoiding it. So, Charlotte, you are my sign that that's why I should be doing this evening just letting it transfer across so thank you. I've been trying to avoid it but I'm not succeeding Charlotte says, do you sort by a year or subject. Oh, I saw shoulder length okay so for years, I've just been doing. I sought by artists so each, each artist that I work with has a folder and then in there, each of the individual songs, but as you're saying by year because I ended up, it's all on my Dropbox, but I've ended up hitting way past, just keep hitting the limit of all the files that I have on there so I now I'm going to switch over to doing it yearly so that I can always have, like, the years sessions, accessible on Dropbox and then all the rest are going to be on a couple of backed up discs, basically, that is so that's, that's, and that's not a boring question. Charlotte is things like that that I love, I love hearing about how people arrange all their cars files I feel like I like arranging your brain just to make everything simple and logical and I like it. There's a lot of peace that comes with that sounds this says, count me and also count me and oh goodness drum circling Observatory had mixed feelings lol love the circle but sacrilege, in the observed observatory being an old SETI, all the observe being an old SETI member but I got over a long, I have no idea what you're talking about I know what you're talking about the drum circle, but I didn't know about the. Yeah. I have no idea. I barely remember that scene if I'm honest, I do remember it but I don't remember. Well anyway, you got over it so that's fine. Who else said that, oh, that's it, Matthew, and Matthew chambers sorry, Matthew North who was in earlier said that he bought all he signed up to Netflix just to watch the documentary, so thank you for doing that if anyone hasn't seen it, count me in documentary, Netflix, I'm a part of it is interviewing loads of different drummers and like legendary dramas. It's a really beautiful documentary, I would still be saying that if I wasn't a part of it beautifully shot stories told lovely. Oh, amazing. But yeah, sorry, is that I'm confused. I know it's my normal state, so it's fine, but yes I apologise I don't quite, I can't quite remember that, but it's been a year and a half since I've seen it. And so Fergus says Hi Emily. Bob is that Scottish drummer and I'm Fergus. Oh, I'm getting confused. Scottish drama is Bob. And this is burgers, they are two separate people, but my brain has merged them into one because I'm not able to read things like a normal person, and focuses I was confused but Bob's are made from their own base awesome flat Oh amazing Yes, so the Scottish drummer and I have been in touch, but yes, I'd forgotten that it's Bob, so I, yeah, this is the thing with all these like usernames, I forget who is who, if the name isn't just there there's a few that I remember if they're here a lot but it's, I apologise. Yes, if I don't remember your first real name. So Nathan says in Ace Ventura, it seems as a clip of a guy talking to snowflake the dolphin, who says the blue for you to line, but it appears, everyone has it confused with aces similar line in the tutu. That's exactly what it is, isn't it, snowflake. Blue 42 Blue. Blue 42 hot. That's what it is. Nathan, yes, you rock. I'm gonna send that to Hannah to my sister, and to Tony and I feel like the world makes sense again okay neighbour says I don't believe for a minute though, it's a cover up. It's it's it's the matrix. And so by whichever you will sort by whichever you will look for later. Haha, oh yeah, we'll make a spreadsheet of it to shut up if you're a man, I love a spreadsheet, never spreadsheet, and Nathan says SETI as in search for, oh, search for extraterrestrial intelligence, this is the observatory, okay. So, do you know what I thought SETI was, I thought it was like a type of drama or something, something, just in my head. It was like something to do with Indian culture. I don't know why, as in India, in Asia. So, let's read this again from disaster quickly, let's see if I can decipher what I'm actually meant to know. so, so come in the drum circle in the Observatory had mixed feelings, loved the circle but sacrilege. In the observatory being an old. Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence member. Oh, because he was a setting member, I gotcha. Oh my gosh, okay. Oh, that makes me sad but surely, surely, you said you go over it so it's totally fine. And it's also were you here last week when we were talking about a lot of us have quite the. Okay, obsession is the wrong word. We have had quite the interest in like astronauts and space and the moon were you here last week when we were talking about that because if you weren't you're another case of it, it's amazing, I love it. Jed says the weather is poor here in Manchester, but you are an all on here have cheered me up thank you all and Celsa says, Nathan yes right so it is the search for extraterrestrial life. And Edmund o Edmund who I thought was in. Oh my goodness, so I thought he was in Australia, but he's in current Coronado Coronado, California, which means that is really late at night view admin but anyway you are the last comment of the day. So with that I'm definitely going to love you and leave you sleep well, Edmund and everyone else. Thank you so much for being here as well and it's been lovely seeing you all, if you want to be part of this live conversation then just head over to Emily is live.com If you're watching back or listening back. It's been a joy today. I can't believe that this Miss memory of blue 42 has finally been put to rest by Nathan drums. So thank you for that as well. Nathan but yeah it's been lovely seeing your as ever. And I will be back next time for another subject who knows what he's going to be. But yeah, have an amazing rest of your week lots of love to you guys and I will see you soon. I see you later, Bye.
