Podcasts about home studios

Today our hosts engage in a quick checkin to talk about how busy they are! They start with a deviation about a particular guitar noise, then dive into a small episode about a small object: the Dunlop James Hetfield Signature White Fang Flow pick. Dan talks about how it came into his life, how it's made him appreciate other styles of pick, and why he keeps coming back to it.Buy some Old Blood: https://oldbloodnoise.com/Join the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us all on the socials: @danfromdsf, @andyothling, @oldbloodnoiseLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!

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.

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.

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.

Today our hosts welcome Philippe Herndon of Caroline Guitar Company. He talks about their latest pedal, a self-proclaimed normie pedal called the Aaron Graves Overdrive. We talk about specific design choices, the story of its namesake, and the importance of versatility even in a fairly fundamental pedal.

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!!
