Send me a messageWhy do some mixes, even with top plugins and techniques, still sound off? The answer might lie in a step you're overlooking: the static mix.In this episode of Inside The Mix, Marc Matthews talks with mix engineer Nate Kelmes to explore: What is a static mix in audio mixing? And why is a static mix important before adding effects? Nate explains how balancing levels and panning, before any processing, can account for 70–80% of a great mix. “If the plugins disappear, the song should still work,” he says.You'll learn how long to spend on a static mix (hint: 2–3 hours is a sweet spot), what the benefits of starting with a static mix are, and how a static mix improves overall mix quality by building emotion and clarity from the start. Nate also shares how a strong static mix can reduce the need for heavy processing later, making your workflow faster and more intentional.From native DAW tools to vocal automation and top-down mixing, this episode is packed with actionable insights for producers at any level. If you want more cohesive, impactful mixes, this is where it starts.Links mentioned in this episode: Follow Nate KelmesListen to the Sound Discussion PodcastListen to Microphones and Recording Audio with Mike SeniorListen to Music, the Industry and Everything Else with Warren Huart Support the showWays to connect with Marc: Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Grab exclusive access to BONUS content Book your FREE 20 Minute Discovery Call Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

Ai Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 567 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - The great JHS Notadumble-fumble humble-bumble and is this a new golden age for guitarists?This week Brian is temporarily waylaid by "stuff" so Blake and Richard tackle the show without him for the first time since records began, although there is a very brief appearance from his Ai alter ego. Meanwhile there has been some division of opinion in the guitar community about a revelation from JHS.Meanwhile the Big F have released a new DAW that is essentially free for any guitarist and Richard is a big fan. Does this signify a new shift in focus for gear manufacturers and are we now in a new golden era for guitarists? Blake drops a hint about something for beginner guitarists coming from StringJoy and Richard wants the new Tone King Imperial MKII module from Synergy.Valeton have released a very interesting mini multi fx pedal and IR loader and its so inexpensive Richard feels compels to buy one. Meanwhile Blake has received and email about NAMM Next and breaks down the implications.

Send me a messageHaving trouble getting your build-ups and drops to land with real impact? In this episode of Inside The Mix, host Marc Matthews reveals how he tackled that exact issue in his latest single, “Half-Life”, using a simple but powerful technique—EQ automation.Marc walks listeners through when to use EQ automation instead of static EQ, explaining how dynamic frequency changes can bring more contrast and tension to a mix. He shares how EQ automation can enhance your mix by creating energy shifts that static processing just can't achieve.You'll hear how Marc applied a high-pass filter from 250Hz to 2kHz on both kick and bass during the build, dramatically increasing impact when those frequencies return at the drop. He outlines best practices for automating EQ in a DAW and highlights creative uses of EQ automation in sound design—from subtle movement to full-on transitions.Whether you're producing electronic, pop, or cinematic tracks, this episode offers a practical technique you can apply immediately. Marc also explains how keeping a playlist of reference tracks is key to overcoming creative blocks.

This week, a return appearance from William Tyler. As a guitarist and sideman, William has worked with the Silver Jews, Lambchop, and other forward leaning acts, balancing a deep understanding of tradition with experimental energy. His own records have found him drifting from Takoma School style finger picking to a zone that hovers in-between krautrock and country; in recent years, he's expanded even further, with incredible beat driven collaborations with Four Tet and the fried psychedelia of his full band Secret Stratosphere project.  His latest work is called Time Indefinite, out this week via Psychic Hotline. It's a strange and meditative record, and it's a new high water mark for Tyler. On this episode of the show, we toss out the script in favor of following Tyler's thoughts; like the indefinite time his new album references, linearity isn't always the focus in this talk. And while we touch on more than a few heavy topics, including addiction, climate change, and the sad state of satirical art, this one is an entry in our "hangout episodes" series, the DAW rolling along just for good measure.  You can read a full transcript of this conversation at Aquarium Drunkard, where you'll find 20 years worth of playlists, recommendations, reviews, interviews, podcasts, essays, and more.

Why do children create fearlessly while professional producers get stuck staring at blank DAW sessions? In this insightful conversation, Ben and Carl explore the counterintuitive truth that creative freedom comes from embracing constraints, not avoiding them. From Sufjan Stevens' state-themed albums to the natural evolution of decision-making throughout the production timeline, they reveal how limitations spark inspiration rather than stifle it. Whether you're battling decision paralysis with 87,000 clap samples or struggling to maintain a social media presence, this episode offers practical approaches to turning constraints into catalysts for your best work.Discover:How constraints unlock creativity rather than limit itWhy limitless possibilities lead to decision paralysisPractical constraint methods for both music and businessThe natural evolution of constraints throughout the production timelineDecision-making confidence across different creative domainsThe value of deliberate practice in building decisivenessBen and Carl's Weekly Inspiration Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1IpnxDVoTY44JBV1j19H4h?si=0f80e020d8ae497eLA Wildfire Relief:Musicares - https://donor.musicares.org/page/lafirereliefWAMTN - https://give.wearemovingtheneedle.org/campaign/654724/donateLearn more about StudioLand - https://www.welcometostudioland.com/a/2147995182/bmyFf8p5Download our free guide: "The Future-Proof Mixing Engineer: 8 Essential Skills for 2024 and Beyond" - https://mpe-ebook.benwallick.com/future-proof-mixingConnect with us:Secret Sonics - https://www.instagram.com/secretsonicsBen - https://www.instagram.com/benwallickmusic/Carl - https://www.instagram.com/carlbahner/Learn more:https://www.benwallick.com/https://www.carlbahner.com/This episode with edited by Gavi Kutliroff - https://www.instagram.com/pleasant_peasant_music/

"The field recording, sounds of individuals selling bus tickets in Peru, reminded me of similar sonic experiences I have had in San Francisco and New York City. Hearing the recording immediately took me to the images I know of Peru and promptly meshed those images with the sounds and imaged from mass transit terminals in the US cities I have lived in and traveled in. It represents, for me, a sonic impression of the diverse voices that exist in all places. The most immediate experience I had, sonically, was that I immediately related the Peruvian recording to the similar sounds of my own experiences, even though I do not speak the language of Peru -- signifying that even though we are culturally very different, we share attributes that make communication at a humanistic level possible. "I began my process by listening to the field recording on loop to really become familiar with it. I then noted the variety of voices (women, children and men) and the way those voices intertwined. I used a DAW to chop the recording and created a drum kit from the voices. Since the men's voices were very dominant, I relied on those for the bass/rhythm and used the higher pitched voices to interject moments of melody. After working with just the field recording, I then began to search for software instruments that would pair well with the sonic experience. I wanted the instrumentation to raise the voices and not detract from them. Once I had most of the elements in place, I revisited the field recording and add some effects to a few of the samples to help them merge with the software instruments. "Overall, I wanted to keep the underlying feeling that the Peru field recording provided, and amplify that experience by adding my own remembrance of similar experiences in the US cities. Highlighting that we, as a people, are different but also close."

"I've been on a very long burnout in regards of producing music, and I'm only just beginning to get out of it. "I normally use FL Studio for my production but I've decided to take things a step further by trying to use Ableton Live (12), especially since I've gotten my license quite recently, I figured it's worth a shot trying to use the tools within that DAW. "I wanted to put my resampling skills to the test, whilst also maintaining my inspiration by some of the NCS releases I've heard over a decade ago. I've decided to make one of the more difficult genres "Glitch Hop", which works exceptionally well when it comes to resampling. I think this turned out quite fine :) all for fun and for the vibes. "I also used Xfer's brand new Serum 2 which came out earlier this week! It was a great learning process."
