This week we're talking about Abigail Jensen. She's a Hollywood writer and comic with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media and a podcast that apparently no one gives a shit about. And no wonder, she tries to position the “intimacy coordinator” of Heated Rivalry as a creative genius. Gay sex is not, nor will it ever be, a creative art form.  Johnny the Audio Engineer joins us and discovers Lisa Boswell for the first time. Hawkie sends in a new commercial for the “Piss On Me Kiki” doll. Stuttering John is so afraid of Matt Mead he doesn't know what to do. Defuse the situation? Intimidate Matt? Bring back up? I'll be shocked if he even shows up to his gig at Rodney's. We finish up with Net News and your voicemails.

Was wir hören, entscheidet darüber, was wir aufnehmen – und am Ende auch darüber, wie ein Mix klingt. Doch genau dieses bewusste Hören kommt im Studioalltag oft zu kurz. Statt einer klaren Klangvorstellung dominieren Routinen, Genre-Schubladen oder technische Abkürzungen.Leo Elsner kommt ursprünglich aus der klassischen Musik und hat früh gelernt, Klang als räumliches, physisches Erlebnis zu begreifen. Heute arbeitet er als Audio Engineer in Frankfurt an HipHop-, Pop- und Band-Produktionen – zunehmend auch in immersiven 3D-Formaten. Sein Ansatz verbindet musikalische Prägung, saubere Aufnahmearbeit und eine sehr klare Haltung zum Thema Mixing: Technik ist Mittel zum Zweck, entscheidend ist die Idee vom Klang.In dieser Episode geht es darum, wie sich musikalische Vorstellung in konkrete Aufnahmen und Mischungen übersetzen lässt, warum Genre-Offenheit das Gehör schärft und welchen Stellenwert eine gute Aufnahme wirklich hat. Eine Folge über Haltung, Hören – und darüber, warum der Mix oft schon entschieden ist, bevor der erste Fader bewegt wird.Sound&Recording-Magazin | Studiosofa PodcastWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠soundandrecording-magazin.de⁠⁠⁠Webinare: ⁠⁠⁠soundandrecording-magazin.de⁠⁠⁠/webinareWhatsApp-Gruppe: ⁠⁠⁠soundandrecording-magazin.de/whatsapp⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@soundandrecording.magazin⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@StudiosofaPodcast⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@soundandrecording.mag⁠⁠⁠

Taking risks in church production is terrifying. If you try something new and it fails, everyone notices. But if you never take risks, your production gets stale. So, how do you find the balance?In this episode, we sit down with John Williams, Production Director at Church of the King, to discuss how to push your church forward with strategic risks. We cover how to approach the first few months of a new church tech role, the safest ways to test new gear or workflows on a Sunday, and how to have difficult conversations with your pastor when a volunteer makes a mistake.In this episode you'll hear: 0:00 Intro: The Biggest Risks We've Ever Taken5:00 John Williams (Church of the King) Joins6:15 John's Origin Story in Production15:00 Starting a New Role: The First 90 Days Strategy18:30 Taking Strategic Risks on Sunday Mornings22:00 Safe Ways to Test New Gear & Workflows35:30 Handling Volunteer Mistakes with Your Pastor38:45 Disaster Story: A Squirrel Destroyed Our Service43:45 Tech Takeaway: Keep the Main Thing the Main ThingGet Toby's new book "Sacred Spaces, Modern Production" here. Resources for your Church Tech Ministry Sell Us Gear: Does your church have used gear that you need to convert into new ministry dollars?

“That's a big thing that I always like to try to put together in the shows — creating the sense of space, where we are taking that audience somewhere. And sonically, what does that sound like? I like having a lot of detail on, okay, this space, i.e. this portion of the episode. It's like, if I go back to the American Kennel Club example, okay, this is Missouri in the 1850s in the summer. Okay, cool. I can work within that. There's a lot of information and detail there that I could pull out.” – Joshua SuhyThis episode is the second half of my conversation with JSS Audio Sound Designer, Audio Engineer, and Producer Joshua Suhy as we discuss how he helps synergize the aural and visual components of a branded podcast, his advice to people who are still building a reputation in the sound industry, and the best strategy to new podcasters looking to avoid the dreaded “podcast graveyard.”As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) - The Importance of Sonic BrandingAs the second half of our discussion begins, Joshua talks about his work with marketing teams and what it takes to align a new audio brand with an established visual identity. “A missed opportunity that lots of brands aren't paying attention to is trying to figure out what do we sound like,” he says. “How are we coming across to an audience on an audio, an aural component versus just visual?” We discuss how music and sonic logos fit into branded podcasts, and about the versatility of original music content. “You can begin to see the possibilities,” he explains, “if you own the IP, [of] how much more capability you have creatively if you actually own the content that you're working with.”(14:20) - Branded Podcasts and Flagship ShowsWe talk about sound design and his advice for sound engineers who are just starting out in the industry. “The biggest thing, I think,” he says, “is to establish rapport with the agency or the people that you're working with, being able to trust them, but with the understanding that it's a symbiotic relationship between the two of you.” He tells us about how branded podcasts differ from regular content, and how the branding goes beyond just commercials and interstitials. “A big thing is really being able to figure out what is your voice,” he says. “What is the brand voice? What are you looking for in your show? What audience do you want to reach? And, essentially, creating an audience avatar of this.”(20:30) - Advice for New Audio ProfessionalsOur conversation wraps up as Joshua explains why it's better to start slow as a podcaster, and why monetization shouldn't necessarily be the primary goal. “If it leads to that, that's great,” he tells us. “But if your sole and only motivation behind your podcast is to make money, chances are you're going to be disappointed, and chances are your show is going to end up in the podcast graveyard with a lot of other people.” He shares how listeners can get in touch, and why sound designers shouldn't write off their...

“But from that point, it was just a matter of, okay, I've got to put all this kind of stuff together now. And now that there isn't a moving image that I'm necessarily locked into, I wield more power in regards to molding the action, so I could decide how a scene breaks down. And I think the example that I had given to you was, if we have a scene where two characters are in a room or one character walks up to another one, I can decide, am I the character already in the room? Or am I the person outside of the room coming up to the other character? Because obviously those are two vastly different sound design approaches.” – Joshua SuhyThis week's guest is the founder of JSS Audio and a veteran of over fifteen years in the audio industry as a Sound Designer, Audio Engineer and Producer. His goal is to capture the essence of creative people's ideas and bring tangible experiences to their audiences. Helping people tell stories through sound is his passion. His name is Joshua Suhy, and we'll be talking about the subtle power of audio, the unexpected moments that define a mix, and why even the smallest sound can shape how we experience a story.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) - Using AI in Sound DesignOur conversation starts off with how Joshua has been putting AI to work for him in the studio, from finding gigs to helping manage his schedule. “One thing that I use it a lot for is to send me, like, a digest every morning of verified, paid, open audio gigs,” he explains. “I'm trying to use AI for the sake of what AI is supposed to do, [to] try to make my life easier.” He shares his early memories of sounds and the path that led him to become a sound engineer and producer, including a memorable sound editing project in his film class “Specifically it was the Bugs Bunny vs Elmer Fudd boxing match,” he says, “being able to blend real life sound effects, and we had the Hanna-Barbera sound library available at the school. So I'm like, I have [all] the stuff that I had always heard as a kid.”(18:30) - Transition to Audio ProductionThe discussion turns to how the pandemic created a podcast boom that helped revolutionize audio and deepened Joshua's approach to sound engineering. “Over time, we've changed it to where we wanna have full control over what's going on,” he tells us, “in regards to sending microphones out to people, sound checking people, making sure that they sound as good as possible, because I want the best quality coming in.” We talk about how audio standards loosened at the height of the pandemic as more people than ever before joined the podcasting sphere, and how technology has been working since to close the gap between home and work studios. “What I liked about it, though,” he explains, “was [how] it humanized podcasting and humanized the personalities... So being able to see, in an interview, somebody's child [walking] in the room, like these are people with real life...

Chad Zumock livestreamed himself across the street from Mersh's house to prove he's a tough guy.
