Today our hosts are joined by Isaac Nelson to talk about the development of Beam Splitter. Isaac is the other half of OBNE's R&D department, and an actor of some renown, recognizable for characters such as Old Ike and whatever we call the corporate guy who drinks the Sunlight tincture. Isaac gives nod to his object (a blue strat) and describes himself as not a particularly curious gear guy, while also giving insight into the inspiration behind his triple tracking multi-distortion mono stereo trereo embiggening behemoth, Beam Splitter.

Today our hosts discuss two solo sets. Andy recently returned from Post Fest, where he played his first solo set in several years. He talks about how it went, the one technical difficulty he ran into, and the overall setup to create a visually and aurally compelling experience. Then Dan talks about prepping for his first solo set in a couple years, and the line between exploratory instrumental improvisation and simply singing the songs he's written. Then, some voice mails allow them to both give and take advice. If you don't feel like listening, just remember this: it's ok. The show will go on. You're doing great!

Welcome Arizona native, Mace Santa Maria! We cover Mace's move from Phoenix to Nashville four years ago, following a formative year at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. She discusses learning the drums at age 10, major influences like the Jonas Brothers' drummer Jack Lawless (whom she recently met), and how Broadway demands fast adaptation through cues, band-specific arrangements, and on-the-fly decisions. Mace breaks down her unique Pelican-case rig, Nashville do's and don'ts, and opportunities for live streaming and subscription-based content. She details touring with indie-pop artists Brooke Alexx, 76th Street, and Tornsey, building Ableton show transitions, maintaining health and alone time on the road to avoid burnout, and the importance of LGBTQ+ community and representation in her career.

Today our hosts chat with Zak Sherman of The Audio Cultivation Project. They talk about his entrance into pedal building coming at an early stage in his musical development, and how that leads to designs that come from an unexpected place. They also talk about the upcoming Midwest Pedal Fest, and why he and Alec Breslow chose to host it in Detroit. And of course, they talk about his chosen object: a particularly modded Telecaster that speaks to who he is as a player and pedal designer. They try to tackle the important questions, like what is a Telecaster, what is the midwest, and who in this room is a poser?

By his 20s, he was working as a sound designer for Akai, Roland, Emu/Ensoniq, eventually signing on exclusively with the latter. Later, due to a growing demand for software instruments and libraries, Eddie began developing libraries for various software manufacturers, including Native Instruments, Kiesel, Sound Effects Library, Rob Papen, Arturia, and Propellerheads.During this time, he trained in music production. He soon gained several prominent contracts working with some notable artistes such as Busta Rhymes, Greensleeves, 9 Bar, SFP, Sleeveless, Chris Campbell and Gam Productions. He contracted to Island Records and Chrysalis as a producer and remixer, and was commissioned to write the score for Macbeth that ran at 2 Way Mirror at Alexander Palace for the Cambridge Shakespeare Company.

Today our hosts welcome back one of the finest minds in Objects: Jesse Honig of 29 Pedals and Believable Audio. They discuss his recent video on the differences between preamps, and our hosts experience a freewheeling wonderment of knowledge. Subjects include capturing the spirit in the room, leaning into the noises, letting an idea be fully explored on its own, a hot take involving acoustic treatment, and how the five percent difference only matters when it matters to you and your creative process.

It is extremely hot in Michigan this week, with record highs expected here and in many parts of the country. That makes podcast recording harder, especially if your space gets warm or noisy. The show can still go on, but you have to be smart about how you record. 1) Turn off air conditioning and fans near your microphone when possible. A loud fan or air vent can create distracting background noise that makes the recording harder to listen to. That said, safety matters. If turning off the AC makes the room uncomfortable or puts you at risk of getting sick, leave it on. 2) Use AI cleanup tools when noise is unavoidable. Riverside has Magic Audio, Descript has Studio Sound, Adobe has Adobe Enhance, and Auphonic can help clean up and balance short audio clips. These tools are not perfect, but they can help when heat forces you to record with fans or air conditioning running. 3) Speak into a dynamic microphone. Condenser microphones pick up more room noise, including fans, vents, dogs barking, and cars outside. A dynamic mic helps reject more of that background noise. There are affordable options like the Samson Q2U, which plugs in by USB, and higher end options like the Shure SM7B. The important thing is to use a dynamic mic unless you are recording in a well treated room. 4) Record early or late in the day. Just like walking the dog at 6 a.m. or 9 p.m. during a heat wave, recording before the day heats up or after the sun goes down can make the session more comfortable. 5) Drink room temperature water. Avoid soda or anything carbonated because it can create gas bubbles while speaking. Avoid dairy because it can cause phlegm. Ice water may seem like the right choice in the heat, but cold can cause vocal cords to contract, which makes it harder to speak clearly. The bottom line is simple. Keep recording if you can, but do not risk your health for one episode. If the space is too hot or the conditions are not safe, the episode can wait. Read this podcast as a blog post here.

Today our hosts talk about their favorite off-label uses for pedals: an Expression Ramper as an expression splitter, a trereo overdrive pedal as a lofi tape machine, a pedal with perfectly spaced knobs as a phone holder, etc. They take calls and some comments from the Discord, all focused around pedal usage that goes beyond the marketing and expectations of the user interface into unexpected sonic corners.

Ever wondered what happens when a veteran FOH engineer walks into a quiet studio and meets Chris & Jody? Spoiler: chaos and wisdom collide. This week's Inside the Recording Studio episode features Raymond Gronvall, a live sound wizard who can tame a riotous stage while still making your vocals sparkle in the booth. Raymond shares what it's like to mix a sold-out crowd with amps cranked to eleven, dodging rogue feedback while keeping the bassist happy. Chris chips in with a confession about accidentally placing monitors backwards in his first studio session, eliciting a laugh from everyone (yes, even the cat probably groaned). The conversation dives into the controlled side too, exploring how studio mixing demands meticulous attention and patience—but with tricks that can carry over from the stage. For the home studio builder, this episode is a goldmine. Raymond and the hosts cover how FOH experience can improve your room acoustics, monitor choices, and workflow at home. You'll get actionable recording setup tips and gear guidance, all sprinkled with anecdotes that make tech talk actually fun. It's practical advice served with a side of dry humor and the occasional “did that really just happen?” moment. From home studio gear hacks to live show survival strategies, listeners will come away with insights they can actually use. Don't just sit there—subscribe to catch every episode where Chris & Jody mix practical wisdom with their signature nonsense and take your audio skills to the next level. #HomeStudioGear #RecordingSetupTips #LiveSoundEngineering #FOHTips #AudioMixingAdvice #StudioVsStage #MonitorPlacement #AcousticTips

Welcome multi‑platinum Nashville session drummer, Aksel Coe! Since moving to Nashville in 2018, Aksel has quickly made a name for himself as one of the city's most sought-after session drummers, having recorded on many of today's top country, pop, and indie tracks. Recent recording credits include Ella Langley (ACM Song of the Year 'Choosin' Texas'), Role Model, Holly Humberstone, Zach Bryan, Sierra Ferrell, Willow Avalon, K. Flay, Margo Price, Orville Peck, Sasha Alex Sloan, Cody Jinks, Sam Barber, Wyatt Flores, and Joshua Bassett, among many others. We dive right into Aksel's diverse musical upbringing and his journey from the West Coast to Nashville. Aksel shares invaluable advice and perspective on the home recording process — from creating efficient workflows on and off the drums, when and when not to cheap out on gear, and how to create and effectively market your own sample or loop pack. We discuss avoiding burnout, Nashville's shifting studio landscape, and of course, his acting debut in the 2025 biopic 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.'

So you want to build a recording rig. Great. Now try not to spend your rent money on cables, mystery boxes, and a power supply that hums like an angry refrigerator. This week on Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody jump into the wonderful, confusing, mildly dangerous world of building a home or mobile recording setup. If you have ever stared at an audio interface, three cables, two adapters, and one blinking red light while asking, “Why do I do this to myself?” this episode is for you. The goal is simple: build a rig that works without turning your creative life into a tech support dungeon. Chris and Jody break down the core gear choices, the setup traps, and the “oh no, I bought the wrong thing” moments that can sneak up on anyone. They cover the basics that matter most, including how to think about your interface, why cabling is never as simple as it should be, and how power issues can ruin your day faster than a bad take. You will get clear recording setup tips that help you avoid wasted money and wasted time. This is not about building the fanciest studio on the block. It is about building a useful, reliable rig that lets you record music, podcasts, voiceovers, or whatever sonic madness you are chasing. And because this is Chris and Jody, it does not stay too serious for too long. The episode includes their usual mix of practical advice and classic nonsense, including the mental image of recording from a van parked in front of a taco truck. Honestly, if the signal is clean, who are we to judge? For anyone sorting through home studio gear, trying to build a mobile rig, or wondering where the line is between “prepared” and “I have made a terrible financial choice,” this episode gives you a smarter path forward. Plus, Friday Finds returns with more tools and ideas to keep your setup fresh. Hit play and learn how to build your rig without losing your mind, your wallet, or that one cable you definitely just had a second ago.   #HomeStudioGear #RecordingSetupTips #AudioInterface #MobileRecording #HomeRecordingSetup #StudioGearTips #RecordingRig #FridayFinds 

If listeners can hear your show but still forget it five minutes later, there's a good chance your Audio Branding is working against you instead of for you. Today, our cast and crew sit down with voice actor and audio branding expert Jody Krangle to talk about the small sound choices that quietly shape how audiences connect with a podcast. We get into why hosts should stop hiding microphones, how bad audio makes listeners leave faster than you think, and why your voice matters more than fancy production tricks. There's also a fascinating conversation about AI voices, emotional connection, and the reason people stay loyal to a show long after the information itself fades. You know the one, that podcast where the intro music hits and somehow your brain already feels at home before anyone even speaks.Episode Highlights:[00:00] Welcome and Setup[03:41] Meet Jody Krangle[05:01] Why Sound Matters[10:39] Home Studio and Gear[12:04] Microphone Technique Basics[20:52] Voice Habits and Mouth Noise[26:01] Audio Branding Essentials[35:50] Voice Actor Preparation Tips[45:55] Pro vs. Overproduced Audio[48:19] AI vs. Human Connection[53:04] Licensing Your Voice[59:12] Wrap-Up and LinksLinks & Resources:Jodi Krangle's Website:https://voiceoversandvocals.com/Jodi Krangle's Podcast, "Audio Branding":https://voiceoversandvocals.com/podcastFeature Your Podcast on the Podcasting Morning Show:https://PodcastingMorningShow.com/spotlightThe Podcasting Morning Show:⁠⁠www.podcastingmorningshow.com⁠⁠Ways to Watch or Listen:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/joinus/Meet the PMS Cast and Crew:⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/people⁠⁠Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:⁠⁠www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠⁠⁠Book A Free Call With Marc:https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallApplication To Submit Your Show For Evaluation:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/eval⁠⁠Join us every other Monday at 8 AM ET for the Obsession Worthy Podcasts:⁠⁠⁠http://podcastingmorningshow.com/owp/⁠⁠Join us LIVE every weekday morning at 8 am ET (US) on ⁠Clubhouse⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcastingmorningshow.com/clubhouse⁠⁠EPC3 Speaker Application:⁠⁠ ⁠https://empoweredpodcasting.com/speakersPowered by⁠⁠⁠ ⁠iRonickMedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠ContentCreatorsAccountant.com⁠⁠Send in your mailbag questions:⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/contact/⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠marc@ironickmedia.com⁠Want to be a guest on The Podcasting Morning Show?

Welcome Kansas City-native Andrew Bone! Andrew opens up about the changing chapters of life and his shift in career focus. Recently married, he discusses the intentionality of stepping back from the grind of 6–7 days a week on Broadway, while aiming to get back to higher-level touring and more fulfilling gigs. We discuss the realities of post-COVID pay, knowing your worth, professionalism and reliability as a sub, and handling playback/Ableton, IEMs, and onstage failures. We delve into charting vs memorization, learning large volumes of material, working respectfully with a crew, using AI tools for admin and career planning, building a home studio identity, and early influences from KISS to music academia. Andrew also reflects on moving from Kansas City, his brief experience at Berklee, and why relationships, preparation, and good conduct matter more than chops.

We kick things off diving into home studio recording—talking apps, simple setups, and the tools I actually use to capture ideas fast. I show off a couple of my go-to recording apps and how they fit into my workflow. Then… the mystery continues.

What is mastering in music, and what does mastering a song really mean for independent producers? In this episode of Inside The Mix, host Marc Matthews sits down with mastering engineer Ben Holmes to break down what mastering is, how it differs from mixing and mastering as a combined process, and why it's the final step that makes a track translate everywhere—from phones and cars to clubs, streaming platforms, and CDs.Marc and Ben explain what mastering a song actually involves, starting with translation and future-proofing. They cover how streaming loudness normalisation affects modern releases, why “one size almost fits all” masters are possible, and when alternate versions, like a higher-ceiling CD master, still make sense. Ben shares a simple, repeatable mastering chain beginners can trust: corrective EQ, sweetening EQ, gentle compression, and a transparent limiter, plus why half-dB decisions matter more than flashy plugins.The conversation also tackles common frustrations DIY artists face: overprocessing, chasing loudness until the chorus collapses, and expecting mastering to fix mix problems. You'll learn why mastering in a separate session improves judgement, how to use AI mastering tools as references instead of replacements, and which DAW features speed up real-world workflows—using Reaper as a practical example.Finally, Marc and Ben answer the big question: should you master your own music or hire a mastering engineer? From second-pair-of-ears benefits to room calibration and experience, they lay out how to choose what's right for your release.TL;DR: A practical, beginner-friendly breakdown of what mastering is, how it differs from mixing, and how to get a clean, confident master that translates everywhere.If this episode helped clarify what mastering is and why it matters, follow the show and share it with a fellow producer.Links mentioned in this episode:Follow Ben HolmesSend me a message Support the showWays to connect with Marc: If you'd like a second set of ears on your mix or workflow, you can book a no-pressure chat here Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

Clearer mixes don't come from buying more plugins, they come from making better decisions. In this episode of Inside The Mix, Marc Matthews sits down with returning guest Tim Benson (Aisle9) to show beginner and intermediate producers how to get clearer mixes using arrangement, sound selection, and simple processing choices that actually translate.This episode is for independent producers struggling with muddy, crowded mixes that fall apart on headphones, Bluetooth speakers, or in the car. Marc and Tim explain why clarity starts at the source, writing interlocking drum and bass parts, choosing sounds that live in different frequency ranges, and being ruthless about what truly earns a place in the arrangement before reaching for EQ.From there, they break down practical mix decisions that deliver immediate results: why gentle high-pass filtering and small cuts around 200–400 Hz often outperform aggressive boosts, how thinning stacked hats and shakers reduces ear fatigue, and when adding “air” helps—or hurts—your mix. Compression gets a reality check too, with clear guidance on attack and release settings that protect groove, where firm control matters (vocals, bass, snare), and when colour is more useful than gain reduction.You'll also learn simple systems you can repeat in every mix: sidechaining kick and bass for headroom, panning colliding parts apart, automating short dips for vocals, and using the one-mute test to identify what's adding music or mud instantly.TL;DR: Clear mixes aren't about plugins—they're about arrangement, sound choice, and small, intentional mix decisions that reduce mud and improve translation.If this episode helped your mixes, follow the show and share it with one producer who's fighting muddiness in their tracks.Links mentioned in this episode:Listen to PhosphorescentSend me a message Support the showWays to connect with Marc: If you'd like a second set of ears on your mix or workflow, you can book a no-pressure chat here Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

Hour 3 of the Chris Hand Show | Monday 1-26-26See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I sit down with drummer Jordan Perlson for a deep dive into collaboration, sound, and how we listen to music in 2025. I've admired Jordan's playing for a long time, especially with Becca Stevens, and it was a joy to finally talk with him about his journey and how he thinks about music.We start with how he first connected with Becca Stevens and her band in New York, and what it means to show up as a collaborator while still protecting your own musical “mission statement.” Jordan talks about the tension between being a supportive hired gun and staying true to his instincts – and how, as he gets older, it's harder to ignore that inner compass.Jordan shares some of the drummers who have shaped his ears over the years, from John Bonham and Will Calhoun to Bill Stewart and Jay Bellerose – and why the “magic” of certain players only grows with time. We get into Bellerose's multi-percussionist approach to the drum set, compensating for supposed “weaknesses,” and how those limitations can actually lead to a more unique sound.From there, we talk about Jordan's move from New York to Nashville in 2016:  what he was (and wasn't) seeing in 10-year-old versions of himself on the New York scene, and why he decided to build a life in a place where quality of life and long-term sustainability felt more achievable. I loved hearing how his “wide net” hustle in New York evolved into a more focused, intentional approach in Nashville, where his priority list was: Jeff Coffin, Victor Krauss, Adrian Belew – and then figuring out how to be musically meaningful to them.Jordan also shares beautiful stories from touring with Adrian Belew, including Adrian's fearlessness as a guitarist, singer, and composer, and what it's like to sit inside that kind of energy every night.We spend a good chunk of time talking about how we listen to music now versus how we listened when we grew up. Jordan reflects on the difference between buying a record or cassette for one song and then slowly falling in love with the deep cuts, versus today's playlist culture, where it's easy to skip anything that doesn't hit instantly. We compare notes on hearing albums at 14 versus revisiting them in our late 40s, and how our relationship with certain songs completely changes over time.Later in the episode, we get into:Growing up outside Philadelphia, going to Berklee, and why classical percussion never really clicked for Jordan, beyond a love of snare drum and books like Portraits in RhythmHis experience teaching – from a stint at MTSU to working with already-professional drummers looking to refine specific skills – and why an intermittent, online-friendly lesson model actually fits his students best.His work with Guthrie Trapp's trio (and their weekly gig at the Underdog in Nashville), the expanded Guitar Party project with Guthrie, Tom Bukovac, Jed Hughes, Tim Marks, and Jimmy WallaceThe trio with Jeff Coffin and Victor Krauss, their first record together, and the almost-finished follow-up featuring guests like Mike Stern, Jerry Douglas, Béla Fleck, and Sam BushPlaying on Jessica Simpson's recent JD McPherson-produced projects and how surprising (in the best way) that music isThe realities of remote recording from his home studio: the freedom, the creativity, the weird waiting-game around revisions, and why some magic can only happen when a band is in the room togetherJordan is thoughtful, honest, and funny, and this conversation felt like hanging out with a friend who happens to be one of the most musical drummers on the planet. I had a great time talking with him, and I think you'll really enjoy hearing how he sees the instrument, the industry, and the future of making records.To learn more about Jordan, please visit his website.Music from the Episode:e (The Adrian Belew Power Trio)Thank you for listening.

This week on the New Music Business Podcast, Ari sits down with recent GRAMMY Award winners Matt B and Angela Benson. Matt B is a GRAMMY-winning R&B singer, songwriter, and global recording artist whose career spans over a decade. His most recent project, ‘Alkebulan II', earned him and Angela a GRAMMY Award, following years of DIY artistry. Over the course of this album, Matt and Angela recorded across Africa, collaborated with artists like Eddie Kenzo and Oxlade, and worked with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios. As a label owner, producer on ‘Alkebulan II', and longtime Recording Academy member, Angela has been instrumental in shaping Matt's artistic direction, visual world-building, and global strategy.In this episode, Matt B and Angela Benson walk through their incredible DIY journey and how they found themselves on the GRAMMY-winning path. They discuss the challenges of writing and recording in multiple African languages, shooting a full visual album across multiple countries, and balancing the creative workload between artist and manager. The pair break down how independent artists can navigate the GRAMMY process, the importance of joining the Recording Academy, the role of networking and bartering in major creative endeavors, and most importantly, the communication and patience required to run a music career as a married team.https://www.instagram.com/mattbworldhttps://www.instagram.com/angelavbenson01:40 – Home Studio & Recent Travels02:10 – Returning to His Alma Mater After the Grammy Win03:00 – Life & Opportunities After Winning a Grammy04:15 – Performing in Uganda & Global Breakthrough Moments05:20 – Inception of the Akebulan Concept09:00 – Connecting With Oxlade & Eddie Kenzo11:00 – Creating the “Gimme Love” Music Video13:00 – Building a Full Visual Album DIY17:40 – Finding Producers & Collaborators Worldwide20:00 – Incorporating the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra30:00 – Navigating Grammy Nominations & Recording Academy Membership47:00 – Working as a Husband-and-Wife Artist/Manager TeamEdited and mixed by Peter SchruppMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

We are excited to answer your art questions! In this episode we will discuss: how do you keep your practice thriving while navigating space, money, and access? We dig in with honest, field-tested advice and personal stories from two working artists who've built momentum in imperfect conditions.We start with the studio question everyone wrestles with: home vs separate space. You'll hear why a “setup” beats square footage, how to protect focus if interruptions tank your flow, and scrappy ways to work larger without taking on a lease you can't sustain. From there, we lay out a gallery game plan: what a strong approach package looks like (10–15 works with depth behind them), what “consistency” really means, and how to get on the radar through open calls, smart social presence, and showing up at the right level.International showing gets a reality check. Culture changes the conversation, but logistics can make or break it. We walk through shipping options, customs surprises, and how to avoid vanity traps with contracts that shift costs onto artists. We also talk residencies, including why many invite-only programs pull from boards and alumni, and how relationships can open doors when applications can't.Collectors and sustainability round out the heart of the episode. We share favorite delivery stories, why early-stage artists should sell to keep making, and how ideal collectors help build careers over time. For anyone staring down a short financial runway, we offer practical steps: emergency grant resources, low-cost materials that keep you prolific, and the mindset shift that treats bridge income as a patron rather than a detour.If you found value here, follow the show, share it with an artist friend, and leave a review so more creatives can find these conversations.

Can you really build your own recording studio gear and make it sound amazing? Mitch Rose from Audio Boys says yes—and shows you how. From hand-built microphones to creating reverb chambers in your home, we dive into the heart of DIY recording and why it's the most creative path to finding your signature sound.   Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Mitch Rose, a recording and mixing engineer from Newcastle, Australia. Mitch is passionate about all things DIY—building his own mics, preamps, EQs, compressors, and even studio furniture and acoustic treatment for home studio spaces. He's been teaching music and audio production for over a decade at technical colleges across Australia, covering everything from recording and live sound to composing in Ableton. Mitch is also a multi-instrumentalist who plays drums, guitar, bass, and all kinds of percussion—especially the Cajon. These days, he spends most of his time recording and mixing other artists from his DIY home studio, and sharing what he learns online. He runs a popular YouTube channel called The DIY Recording Studio, where he teaches other producers and engineers how to start their own DIY studio journey—with hands-on build tutorials for companies like MicParts, DIYRE, CAPI, and Sound Skulptor. Mitch recently flew to the US for NAMM 2025 to work with Z&H Designs and connect with artists, producers, and creators from around the world where I got to shoot a couple of fun videos with him at the booth.
