What happens when you start writing, producing, and mixing like the forest, not the trees, and you leave your worries behind?My guest today is Micah Tawlks - producer, mixer, songwriter, and artist based in Nashville, working out of his home studio in Whites Creek. Micah first joined us back on RSR324, and he's back to go even deeper into the intersection of writing, recording, and mixing. He's known for work with COIN, Hayley Williams, Louis Prince, Judah & the Lion, The Lone Bellow, Stephen Day, Ben Rector, and many more, including immersive Atmos mixes with Matt Wallace.In this episode, we dig into how writing sessions actually unfold when they happen in your studio - the unexpected ways a simple co-write can turn into full production, vocal sessions weeks later, or a finished track if the artist or publisher decides to cut it. Micah describes the different roles he shifts between: offering lyric help when invited, contributing chords and melody, arranging on the fly, or simply running a fast demo session when that's what the artist wants.We also talk about the balance between paid studio work and free co-writes, how he and his manager evaluate opportunities, and why some ideas need months to find their artist, while others get cut immediately. He explains what co-writing in pairs vs. groups actually feels like, why some writers don't want lyrical collaboration at all, and how recording the first 20 minutes of small talk often captures the best emotional ideas of the day.Micah walks us through his recent engineering day at Blackbird, choosing from huge mic lockers (multiple U47s, C12s, 67s on toms, etc.), working quickly on the console, and how “fast in a big studio” still relies on the same preparation habits as working fast at home.In the writing room, we get into why clicks can kill a session, how he builds musical rhythmic loops as “human clicks,” when he performs his own time feel into a mic so the grid follows a human instead of the other way around, and how artists respond differently to tempo when the groove feels alive.Finally, we talk mixing: keeping rough mix intent intact, charging a flat rate, when to recommend another mixer, and how honoring an artist's stylistic world guides the whole process. Micah's advice to his younger self? Be a better listener - in the room, at the console, everywhere.Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.comTHANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.comhttps://usa.sae.edu/ https://www.izotope.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.spectra1964.comhttps://gracedesign.com/https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academyhttps://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/Listen to the podcast theme song “Skadoosh!” https://solo.to/lijshawmusicListen to this guest's discography on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Rj5j9yzADbW3n5JEBEGB1?si=f5uo4BpbSmOHkSD9_0VgEAIf you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/ReviewCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRockstars.com/567

It's another Listener Mail episode, and this week the High on Home Grown community has sent in another fantastic selection of questions covering everything from grow room science to keeping your harvest as discreet as possible. We kick things off by tackling a question inspired by AI-generated growing advice: do cannabis plants breathe oxygen at night, and should you avoid watering before lights out? We separate fact from fiction and discuss how cannabis plants actually behave during their light and dark cycles. We also share practical tips for reducing the smell during trim jail, and explore the long-standing claim that classical music can help plants grow. Is there any science behind it, or is it simply another gardening myth? The panel also discusses using the dry mode on modern air conditioners to control both temperature and humidity, whether it's a worthwhile option for indoor growers, and takes a closer look at nutrient mixing. We answer a question about CANNA's recommended feeding ratios, EC management, and whether diluting a correctly balanced nutrient solution is the best way to feed your plants. Finally, we chat about what to do with cannabis roots after harvest, when it's time to replace your carbon filter if you're running high airflow through your tent, and plenty of the usual Listener Mail banter that makes these episodes so much fun. As always, it's a relaxed conversation full of practical growing advice, cannabis science, community questions, and more than a few laughs along the way.
