Greetings everyone, I'm new here! I'll start with one video at a time. I just got Logic Pro and loaded my first session, but it won't open. If I create a new one, it works after about four days with Logic. Thank you, and I see that this is a great community, and we are here to learn a lot.

I'm Yngrid (yes, with a Y), guitar player, producer & engineer based in vegas, originally from Venezuela. came up in bands (one of them an all-female rock band back home), spent a decade as an architect (you know, doing the adult thing) before quitting to do music full-time. I've been a TRE member for almost a year. mostly work with female singer-songwriters in rock, indie, and alt rock. I am always looking to connect with more people doing this thing called music and see what you all are working on, i'm @yngridproduces on instagram if you would like to connect there, I am always posting guitar clips, production breakdowns, the occasional honest take on the work, etc. Nice to meet you all :)

If you never resonated with it yourself, when you were creating it? Find a way to breathe human life into your music. Do vocal takes with intention. Create a mood in the room. Capture samples from your outside world with a crappy tape recorder and splice them in the track. Capture moods you are truly in at that moment. Capture moments with people grooving together in the same room, never underestimate the power of humans grooving together in the same room. Move real air. Capture memorable moments - good bad ugly sad angry and all in between. Make lyrics that mean something to you, remind you of moments in time, or of people, specific things, does not matter if the listener knows what you are even talking about, they will paint their own picture. Scrapbook your life in your song. This is the stuff that will breathe life into your music and make it unique - not copy / pasting one guitar line to repeat 32 other times, not using AI to write your entire song. I get it, not every piece of music is meant to be from the heart or meant to matter that much - sometimes its just business and thats what it is that day, and thats fun too, and even then this is relevant to some degree. But if you are trying to make music that resonates with people, make it resonate with yourself first. Make it hold memories of your life, of interactions with other people, like a photo album would. Record unique moments and relationships and human errors and vulnerability that cannot be replicated by a machine. That's what will set your song apart and make it translate. That's what will help your song mean something to you. This doesn't have to be done dramatically either, it can be done to varying degrees. Even just sprinkling a bit of this in goes a long way.
