I'm just so proud of him and glad that he's interested in music. I've always exposed him to it, but "tried not to push." Because if you push, "they'll pull..." He said out of the blue that he's doing a song (singing) in the talent show at his school (4th grade) and I said that's really cool! And he said yeah, maybe I could do it in your studio?  So it was really cool because he's seen me in there, and knows what it's about. 

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.  I can relate. :-) I have twin boy/girl nine year old kids and have taken the same approach. 

They both _love_ music as much as me and we jam in my studio. My son is a natural drummer, and my daughter can sing like an angel. I'd like to get them both lessons to shore up their foundations, but I worry about taking the fun out of it. My son has played with the band during sound checks and I got my daughter to sing at the local Relay For Life event this past summer with about 600 people wandering around and my band backing her on a Katy Perry tune - the kids came out of the woodwork; literally like she was a celebrity! It was pretty wild. I've been trying to get them into the idea of doing the 4th grade talent show together, but they seem set on doing their own shows. So much for the Donny & Marie dream ... LOL! 

:-) Every age is the best age, but 9 is special. I know the teen years come. The brooding quiet times. But right now is very special. I can't imagine twins, it's all I can do to keep up with one.

 Very cool, a chip off the old block, well done.

:-) He likes the way it came out, Thanks Lynn! And I got to show him something about the recording process, comping, effects, envelopes :-) So I think he really got something out of it.

Heck, my son shows me stuff about recording and I taught him initially. It's a blessing to be able to teach them but it's a bigger blessing when they surpass us, IMHO.

Break a leg kid!

why?

OK, I'll click and follow. But could you please give me first;

1. You mother's madien name

2. You're SSN

3. The city where you were born?

We'll call it even :-)

Seems fair to me? 

Also, I have this program called "rootkit" If you could please run that for me? And then we'll be square.


And then? I'll break your legs kid... ;-)

Its the music for the song without words so your son can sing and you can mix him and he will sound professional at his school concert. No viruses. I'm sorry I'll attach the song? Maybe I'll put it on soundcloud for you. Maybe he doesn't need it, but he will get the experience of singing to a real recording like a pro. It will sound  great. Kinda like karaoke? There's no evil intent here. 

Oh don't let "New Member" fool you too much. I've been engineering for many years.

:-) Streaming's the way to go bro, if you have a version of this tune w/no vox? That would be great! :-D

I'd be glad to download it?

He surprised me when he did it? No words, just singing along w/the cover, so he has it down.
