Curious what autotune and reverb plugins are the go to? Do you have a go to stock preset on the EQ that you always drop on your vocal track?
Making Music as TheMorningShadows

Hey Jon I’ve been listening to your music since I was in middle school and you’re the reason I started making music in high school i was just wandering what I need to do to get my music more out there, just for people to hear it.

Hey y’all, currently studying a uni course on music production. And my heads getting wrapped up in all the technical aspects of it. It’s overwhelming sometimes haha. How do you manage taking on all the tech stuff when you just want to solely focus on the music?

Categories will consistently change depending on the roll out. But if their is a category yall would want to have me speak on or interact with (ex: sonic approach, lyric explanation, intention and purpose of certain songs, equipment used, DAW details, Synth parameters, vocal presets, sample references, mix intentions, vocal approaches) suggest them here.
@User12261990 just curious what plugins you use for your vocals and drums to get them to sound the way they do sonically cause your drums punch and your vocals are always clear as day no matter what track?

Hey Jon!!! Yeah, I’ve got a topic I’d love to hear you talk about. For this next album, what themes have inspired you? Will fatherhood play a role in the music—has having kids shaped any part of this project? And with the time you took off from making music for yourself, is that reflected here in any way?
Of course, only if you’re comfortable sharing! I’d totally understand if you want to keep family separate or let the fans experience the album with no preconceptions before hearing it.
(Last thing I’ll say—if the album carries the same vibe as Kid Again, it’s already 4x platinum in my house.

@User12261990 sample info would be so cool. But honestly just head space of where the songs come from & what sparked the process is most intriguing. I love watching the start of the beat through to finish (your YT videos are my fav)

Hey Jon, do you ever like to produce with preset stereo bus plugins over the whole track? I find that often it can help craft a certain sound so that the record is fully realized even before mixing. If you do, what plugins do you like to use for that?

@User12261990 honestly, man, I think that how you navigate the creative process (beyond the BTS’s) would be incredibly solid. I’m sure you’re aware that you’re a musical inspiration for a lot of us, and I feel like I’m already seeing so many people just expressing a struggle with starting, hitting a creative wall, or putting their own work into the universe.
-
@User12261990 I would love to know what equipment you used for this album and GSP along with daws and how you cut and use samples for your songs.
-
Completely echo what others have said, would looove to see a breakdown of your actual logic sessions and how each track is processed.
i’m here to tell you… that the Seuss…is loose!

I've got some questions about "TORI"/"Purple Skies"; it was an unbelievable
album, and going to see her live in Charlotte in October was such an amazing experience.-
What were your inspirations for the sonic of the album? Specifically talking about stuff like the warbly synths from "spruce" or the watery/soupiness of "young gun;" was Japanese hyper-pop/synthwave on your radar when sculpting the album's sound?
-
The purple skies interlude was GORGEOUS and I can hear you trying to flex those cinematic scoring chops: are you still aiming to score a Pixar movie, or any film in general?
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to ask you about stuff we're dying to know about!
All the best,Derrian W. Berry

@User12261990 Jon, tell me more about where your head space was at when recording Human acoustically? I am so drawn in by the raw emotion you convey when telling the story. It is by far my favorite record you’ve created and I believe I cry every time I belt the words out. Thank you for being a rock, an anchor in this life. You have touched the very parts of me that only music can heal. I am incredibly ecstatic for what’s next.

For CWMW, what are some of the vocal parameters you used to get that beautful child-like choir effect on the vocals in the chorus? It moves me to tears almost every time I listen to it, and I feel like you processed the vocal in a very intentional manner to get across that feeling of somber exasperation that comes through "im so ready to run from the spotlight". Just wondering about your thoughts behind heading in that direction with the vocal there and how you managed to pull it off.

Jon can I get an explanation for this? You have the exact same melody for the strings at the end of while you count sheep as in human. I’ve wondered if this is a coincidence or a connection between the songs for years now lol.
-
Definitely need some behind the scenes… but would love to know if there’s a certain way you go about composing your music? More so the actual music as opposed to lyrics. Or does it start as lyrics rather than music & rhythm?
-
@User12261990 What role does your faith play in your creative process?
-
@User12261990 I’d love to know one thing about Kid Again, but don’t want your answer to spoil anything. But is the single art cover having the start and end of the letters cut off, and the song starting and ending halfway through the guitar sampling done on purpose?
