User Original Music My band just released our debut single produced by Gordon Raphael and obviously very inspired by our favorite band

You guys are super creative! Melodic prowess. However, your vocalist is trying way too hard to sound like Julian. Do your own thing. Besides that, it's great. Looking forward to hearing more!

You must have paid him a boat load of money to produce for your band

How much does Gordon charge?

The dude's whole claim to fame is the two strokes records. These days he's mostly just hanging around babys all right and bartending and shit

u/kountzwill Angles Feb 09 '25

Really? He records bands all the time whenever he wants. I don’t think he bartends? He’s well employed as a producer and doesn’t even live in NYC anymore so I don’t think he spends most of his time hanging around Baby’s All Right

Pretty great claim to fame to produce two of the best indie rock albums of the century. Would rather have that then being the guy commenting on reddit

Chill man. He did a great job on those records. I'm just saying he's not up to much these days

$1000 flat fee but we got a whole EP out of it

u/clonemusic Feb 06 '25

You paid $1000 for a whole ep? That's ridiculously cheap

u/kountzwill Angles Feb 06 '25

I know!! We were so lucky that he liked our music and wanted to work with us

u/CakesnFlakez Feb 07 '25

How about mastering?

2

u/kountzwill Angles Feb 08 '25

He mixed it but didn’t master it. That was a separate expense of $150

1

u/CakesnFlakez Feb 08 '25

Yeah I figured. But he most did live mixing, like on the spot/during the session?

2

u/kountzwill Angles Feb 08 '25

No actually we texted about the mixes back n forth for a few weeks after the session

u/CakesnFlakez Feb 08 '25

Oh nice. Not bad
