My debut album "SAXTREME" has been released today on all streaming platforms! What started off as a side project has turned into something much bigger than I could've ever imagined. This is legit the biggest achievement of my musical journey!
There's an interesting history with it. The whole reason why this album exists is because I was sick and tired of all of these overproduced songs that have these weak performances with like the dumbest lyrics and predictable song structures (I blame TikTok even though I am a Gen Z kid lol).
Instead of recording the songs on a computer, I used a TASCAM DP-24SD multitrack recorder and an ALESIS SR-18 drum machine to make the songs. After I make the songs on the drum machine I record guitar with my real rig and then saxophone for the melodies. The goal I had with this is that I wanted to focus more on the performance rather than the production. While there might be some mistakes in the recordings I didn't let it affect my mojo. After the recordings, I mix the songs on the multitrack then master them with T-Racks 5 MAX.
If you like what you heard, I have a linktree to all the major streaming platforms here.
Also, If anyone has any questions about the project I'd be happy to answer your reply.
Thank you guys so much for the support on this forum! You guys are part of the reason why I want to make music.
Have a good one!
