In dieser Episode des Studiosofa Podcasts sind Ana Swartz und Adrian Winkler von Tonstudio für Frauen zu Gast. Gemeinsam sprechen wir über Selbstzweifel in der Musikproduktion und darüber, warum viele MusikerInnen sich nicht trauen, ihre Songs selbst aufzunehmen. Woran liegt es, dass Technikangst und Perfektionismus uns oft ausbremsen? Wie können wir lernen, unabhängiger zu arbeiten und unsere Musik selbstbewusst zu veröffentlichen? Adrian und Ana teilen ihre Erfahrungen, geben Tipps für den Einstieg ins Homerecording und zeigen, wie man Blockaden überwindet. Ein Gespräch für alle, die sich in der Musikproduktion endlich selbstständig machen wollen! Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Send us a textWhat do sound and knitting have in common? You'd be forgiven for thinking not much, but both have been constant companions across the life and career of sound artist and knitter, Felicity Ford also know as Felix. Join sobel as she visits Felix in her St Leonard's home to talk about her journey into field recording, soundscape composition and using this skillset to document the process of wool production. Felix also shares her perspective on why celebrating domestic sounds is a feminist pursuit, her maverick approach to disruption traditional notions of sonic art and how all of us can find a little magic in the everyday. In fact, isn't that what art is all about? Felix would argue. Felix also runs her own online knitting school called Kitsonik, so it only felt right for Isobel to be taught some knitting while we were there.

He also studied under the mixing engineer Michael White whose credits Include The Rolling Stones, Whitney Houston, Kiss, and the Talking Heads, just to name a few. Over the last decade David decided to start giving back by helping musicians and engineers learn the craft of audio engineering. He found that teaching was something he really enjoyed and that led him to create Home Recording Made Easy.com and now Mixing Made Easy.net. His main focus is on the beginner/intermediate recording musician and aspiring audio engineer to help students improve their recording/engineering skills. I have enjoyed watching David's Youtube videos and I highly recommend that you check them out Rockstars.
