Low Budget Productions

Yes, I looked up ‘Low Budget Productions’ and found this name was already taken too. “Peaceful Outlaw” is now officially my registered name and no one can touch or use it. This name came about and is being used for the fact that my site is Peaceful Threads and it seems like I am considered an outlaw for using AI to make this happen! I am in the process of turning this all into an LLC for further protection.After finding that I wanted to move forward with the LP I started looking into the costs of making it happen.

Let Me Hold A Dollar

This could quickly become out of hand and drain a bank account so I did what any dawg would do, go digging up bones. Along with learning how to write the prompts for what I want the song to sound like I found that using the voice DNA didn’t really sound like me, my real voice sounds like total shit so I found a VCS [ Vocal Conditioning System] from CyberTone and within five minutes of using this was blown away with the difference.

I use it daily to get ready to record the songs I’ve chosen to record. I am using a Behringer BA85A microphone ran through my vintage Pioneer stereo system to achieve the warm analog sound I enjoy so much. I also found a pretty good DAW system [Mixcraft Pro Studio 10.6] which I am learning how to use and it’s not so easy yet. I am making progress with it though so that’s a happy point in my journey. I also looked into buying a recording booth but the costs again had me sniffing out new directions. I built a recording booth from scratch and saved almost $150 which is quite the savings to me. This isolates my voice pretty good I think but will find out later today.

I am waiting on UPS to deliver my new Focusrite gen 4 solo converter today and whoo-hoo am I excited! I will be able to send the songs from my DAW into my reel to reel and now add my real voice to the mix! Here is where I give a GREAT BIG shout out to Sweetwater for all the fantastic information and guidance on the equipment needed without all the upsales.

UPS just came so I am closing this post to play with my new toys! Have a great day my friends and thanks for hanging out in Peaceful Threads.
