Andrew Camp on SoundBetter

Hello! My name is Andrew and I am a producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist. I've been driven to create music since I was young and I bring passion and expertise to every project, crafting music that tells a story. I look forward to helping you with your voice, whether it’s quiet or loud; proud or shy.

Hailing from the heart of Missouri, I'm ready to venture into an exciting new chapter of music making. I spend most of my time alongside my equally talented partner in the musical duo, The January Lanterns. Drawing from my background in vocal performance at the University of Missouri, I enjoy infusing classical elements into my work while pushing the boundaries and breaking the rules with modern music technology.

Instrumentation I can provide:
Acoustic Guitar (Standard, 12 String, Classical)
Rubber Bridge Guitar
Electric Guitar
Ukelele
Banjo
Mandolin
Electric Bass
Upright Bass
Synths
Upright Piano
Percussion
Drum Programming
String Programming and Arranging

I'm also happy to sing lead vocals, harmony's, and BGVs/Vocal Textures.

Interview with Andrew Camp

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: All of the options I offer on here come with 2 rounds of revisions if necessary. For acoustic and electric guitar, I'm happy to send multiple parts and/or takes for you to choose from. If you need more than 10 parts for a song, additional fees may apply. Also, I never get offended if you decide to edit my files after I send them to you. I want to make sure that I can help you anyway that I can with your music.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Gibson J50, a tuner, Macbook with Logic and necessary cables, Neumann 87, Helix
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Bon Iver - he's broken so many rules and has one of the most unique sounds I've ever heard. I've tried to recreate so many of his sounds to still be left in wonder.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: My biggest tip is for people to learn when to not play something. I've heard too many musicians over my career to know how over playing can ruin a song. Music is simply sounds and silences that carry some level of significance for a person or people. Don't forget to embrace a little silence.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Folk, Pop, Acoustic, Americana
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring a classically trained vocalist approach to peoples vocals. I listen with an extremely detailed ear to vocals. Trying to know what a vocalist's wheelhouse is while also trying new things. I also like breaking the "production rules" and doing things you shouldn't (auto-tuning slide guitar, using the piano strings as a plate reverb for drums and vocals, etc.)
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Some people enjoy project templates, I typically dont do that. I treat each song as a new puzzle to figure out.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I use Logic Pro primarily and have a few analog preamps that I enjoy running into the computer (LA610, 1073). I also have a bevy of pedals (strymon, chase bliss) that I send audio from computer into to have that extra flavor of knob turning and unpredictability. I record guitars with Helix system for consistency. I keep everything mic'd up and ready (vocals, piano, drums, guitars) so that I can strike fast when inspiration hits. I keep my Lauten Audio Atlantis right next to me at the desk so I can record quick without having to move (learned that from Charlie Puth and Ryan Tedder).
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Justin Vernon, Gregory Alan Isakov, Rick Rubin, Ethan Gruska, Tony Berg, Mac Demarco
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I typically have in-person clients I produce and mix for. I've also do remote tracking of various different instruments for other peoples project (guitars, keys, BGV, programming).
