In this conversation, we trace how a kid from Wichita cleaning skyscraper windows and making bass music ended up reverse-engineering reality itself — through sound, geometry, water, and ancient temple science.We get into how slowing down animal calls exposes a shared structure in communication; why the Kogi, bees, and birds might be using channels humans have forgotten; and how noise, screens, and stress have muted senses we were born with. From Machu Picchu and Angkor Wat to Egyptian pyramids and Gothic cathedrals, Tyler lays out why these sites look less like “monuments” and more like consciousness-amplifying technology built from water, gold, plasma, and sacred geometry.You'll Learn:[00:00:00] Introduction[00:09:53] The music production trick that revealed how all animals speak the same language[00:13:14] How bees and plants communicate through the electromagnetic spectrum[00:14:14] Our natural antennas have been snipped[00:21:00] Why Tyler stopped asking "how did they build the pyramids" and started asking "what mindset did it require"[00:25:39] How Egyptian temples functioned as a university including one where initiates had to swim through alligator pits[00:30:46] What Tyler believes the true purpose of the pyramids is[00:40:30] We stopped building resonance structures to live in and started building soulless boxes[00:50:55] The lost temple science that tuned human senses and served as portals to communicate with the divine[01:17:42] Why the ancients prioritized water and gold, and how humans serve as the conduit between them[01:40:32] Why Angkor Wat looks like a giant circuit board designed for non-human intelligence communications[01:46:42] Ancient aliens theory is actually a psyop that diminishes human potentialResources Mentioned:Cryptex Esoterica by Tyler Engle | BookCodex Esoterica by Tyler Engle | BookThe Geomatrix by Tyler Engle | BookThe Secret History of the World by Mark Booth | Book or AudiobookMutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan | Book or AudiobookKybalion by The Three Initiates | BookThe Way Forward episode on Beyond Verbal Autists, Telepathy & The Nature Of Thought with Melissa Jolly Graves | YouTubeThe Way Forward episode on Thought, Light & The Liquid Language of God with Veda Austin | YouTubeUnlock the full spectrum of ancient wisdom and modern insight with Tyler's Esoteric Mastery Suite.

Could this be peak Frank? Sinatra at the Sands captures the energy, the cool, and the incredible voice that made this crooner so iconic. Backed by the Count Basie Orchestra with arrangements by a young Quincy Jones, this live album still swings 60 years later!Sinatra at the Sands was recorded at a moment when Sinatra was emerging from a slump. Rock and roll dominated the airwaves, the Beatles were redefining popular music and crooning just wasn't cool anymore. But this album, recorded live in Vegas, shows a 50-year-old Frank sounding loose, confident, and completely at home in front of a band that swings like nothing else. Listen with us as we break down and react to the best of this swingin' album.Start your free Open Studio trial for ALLLLL your jazz lesson needs: https://osjazz.link/yhi   00:00 - Intro Jam: Fly Me To the Moon01:35 - The Sinatra-Basie Episode!03:45 - Is This Peak Frank?05:45 - The Mid-60s Culture Shift07:45 - "Come Fly With Me" 12:00 - The Quincy Influence14:45 - "I've Got You Under My Skin"17:30 - What To Listen For22:30 - "The Shadow of Your Smile"26:20 - Freddie Green's "Chunking" Technique28:15 - Sinatra's Vocal Gift33:30 - "Street of Dreams"35:50 - "One For My Baby (And One More for the Road)"38:40 - "Fly Me To the Moon"45:00 - "One O'Clock Jump"49:50 - Desert Island Tracks54:05 - Apex Moments59:05 - Categories1:03:20 - Coming Up Next Week

What if the best mix isn't the cleanest, but the truest? In this podcast takeover, Lij Shaw (Recording Studio Rockstars) dives into a standout conversation with engineer, songwriter, and producer-in-the-making Abby Griffin to explore how “being the weird girl” can be a creative superpower, and why the moments you capture now may matter more than perfection later. From choir training and vocal anatomy to tape love and AI stems, Abby brings a sharp, generous lens to making music that feels alive.The conversation starts with foundations you can use today: training your ear with tools like Pink Trombone, choosing mics for the job (vintage U87 clarity vs 414 warmth), and recording drums the simple way, two mics, tight kit, one great bar, and tasteful overdubs for fills and transitions. Abby maps out a low-stress workflow for song-first productions, where loops carry pocket, and a click becomes optional. Along the way, we swap gross mic tales and gig-life realities with a wink and a wince.Songwriting sits at the heart of everything. Abby's “song seeds” method, notes app phrases, moleskin pages, and free-writing, pairs with alternate tunings to break muscle memory and unlock lines you can't play in standard tuning. They unpack “show vs tell” with Taylor Swift's plain-spoken detail, Shakespeare's sonnets, and the poem Two-Headed Calf. The aim isn't to prescribe feelings; it's to stage scenes so the listener writes their own. A moving centrepiece: Abby's family recording made days before her grandmother passed, a time capsule that proves how capturing the chapter can matter more than polish.Tech doesn't replace taste; it supports it. AI stem separation shines in pre-production and post, voice-memo overdubs turn ideas into demos, and tape, hardware or plugin adds character where it counts. Pat Metheny's advice threads through it all: be yourself from day one and let the work find its people over time. Abby's take is simple and brave: match your freak, protect your rituals, and put the moment first.Links mentioned in this episode:Listen to Recording Studio RockstarsFollow Abbie GriffinSend me a message Support the showWays to connect with Marc: Listener Feedback Survey - tell me what YOU want in 2026 Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Book your FREE Music Breakthrough Strategy Call Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

Welcome to a new edition of The XLNT Show: Bad Boys, where it is just Danny and Parker talking uncensored. No filters, no script, and no holding back.In this episode, the guys dive into one of the most overlooked conversations in the EDM scene right now: major artists taking ideas and drops from smaller producers without giving proper credit. Using the recent situation between Fred again and Liny as the centerpiece, Danny and Parker break down how a viral edit blurred the lines between inspiration and attribution, and why it struck such a nerve in the producer community.They discuss:The timeline behind the Victory Lap edit and LYNY's original trackWhy credit matters for smaller artists trying to break throughWhether big artists have a responsibility to elevate new talentThe culture shift around IDs, edits, and promo on TikTokThe role of community building in EDMWhen borrowing becomes poachingWhether Fred again actually helped LYNY or overshadowed himThe conversation expands into a wider look at the industry: the lack of mentorship, the expectations placed on top artists, and whether the community holds different people to different standards based on their public persona.

Send us a textThe room glowed with warm orange light, a full house gathered to celebrate five years of Girls Twiddling Knobs and to witness a bold closing chapter. We brought a live panel to the stage to ask a deceptively simple question: are music technology skills truly crucial for women and gender-diverse artists? What followed was honest, funny, and disarmingly practical—stories about safety in studios, DIY learning, pricing your worth, and the power of choosing collaborators who actually listen.Karen Sutton (Oram Awards) mapped the tough terrain of funding and why mentoring fills the gaps that DIY routes can't always bridge. Rooks, aka Jenny Bulcraig (2% Rising), shared how artists are rejecting microaggressions and confusion in sessions in favor of producers who offer clarity, consent, and better results. afromerm, aka Cecilia Morgan, unpacked how growing technical fluency turns doubt into calm agency on stage, even when met with patronising questions. Glade Marie (Saffron) spoke to intuition, community, and using brand gigs to bankroll creative freedom without apology. Together, we explored how tech skills change careers, why safer spaces are non-negotiable, and how to build sustainable models when institutions look away.We don't pretend the landscape is fair. Arts funding is shaky. Industry gatekeepers still overlook what doesn't fit a KPI. But the path forward is clear: learn the tools that center your voice, set boundaries around money and time, and build the rooms where more of us can thrive. As we prepare a short final season—answering why we're closing and what we've learned—we're archiving the work and passing the torch to the many initiatives pushing this movement forward.If you've ever felt othered in a studio, underpaid for your craft, or unsure how to start charging for your expertise, this conversation is a compass. Listen, share, and tell us the boundary you're setting next.

Send us a text"I like to keep things a little spicy..." In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Suede Lacy--a Dallas native and an alum of Season 26 of The Voice. Suede Lacy graduated from the prestigious Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and is in the process of finishing an album of music that's at once fresh and vintage--but the journey towards an album release has been slower than Suede would've picked. Emmeline and Suede talk about Suede's experience on The Voice, the immediacy of creative success on TV, and about the ever-pressing creative question, What comes next?  They also talk about their deep mutual love for Ani DiFranco's Dilate album and how to incorporate influences in new and exciting ways.To learn more about Suede Lacy, or to follow Suede's musical journey, follow them on Instagram or TikTok.For behind-the-scenes information and more about Journey of an Artist, visit the Journey of Series official webpage, or follow Emmeline on social media at @EmmelineMusic.

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with legendary session drummer Paul Leim, whose six-decade career quietly powers a staggering piece of the soundtrack to our lives. Paul has played on more than 12,000 songs across over 2,000 releases, with 1,400+ silver/gold/platinum certifications, and global sales topping 540 million units. His discography encompasses over 150 combined GRAMMY nominations and wins, as well as 40+ major film/TV awards, and credits on more than 150 films and 100 television specials and series. If you've heard Lionel Richie, Shania Twain, Lyle Lovett, Kenny Chesney, Whitney Houston—or cues from Dirty Dancing, Smokey and the Bandit II, The River, or even Return of the Jedi, you've likely heard Paul.We trace the arc from East Texas clubs and Dallas jingle mills to late-'70s Los Angeles, where a “typical” week meant two complete drum rigs leapfrogging between Lionel Richie sessions, network TV soundstages, film dates, and award shows. Paul talks mentors and “angels” (band director Neil Grant, Robin Hood Brians, Doc Severinsen), lifelong friendships with the TCB family (Ron Tutt, Jerry Scheff), and lessons that still anchor his playing—especially dynamic control and “letting the mics work.” We get inside the high-wire reality of studio life. Paul calls it “95% boredom and 5% sheer terror”, including how to read conductors, when to lead the time, and when to ride it, and what it's like to move from live kit to orchestral percussion with John Williams.There are great shop-floor stories: cutting Lionel's “Truly” and counseling Lionel at the fork-in-the-road moment of leaving the Commodores; discovering that Lyle Lovett's “The Blues Walk” was gloriously vocal-free; and a deep dive into the precision world of Mutt Lange and Shania, ending bass notes just before the snare for mix “air,” the chrome-over-brass “important” snare, and the on-the-fly invention of tom “Mutt flaps” for short, open fills. Paul also shares a personal fork he chose differently: turning down a James Taylor tour to be home with his young family, only to hand JT the final serial-numbered Leim signature snare decades later at the White House.Today, Paul is still very much in motion: bandleading the TCB Band in Europe, steering The Tennessee Four with Thomas Gabriel to carry the Cash legacy, and jumping into Million Dollar Quartet shows—proof that the hang, the humility, and the groove endure. It's a conversation about craft, friendship, stewardship of a gift, and the choices that shape both a career and a life.Music from the Episode:Pick it Apart (Mark O'Connor)Truly (Lionel Richie)The Blues Walk (Lyle Lovett)Thank you for listening.

On this episode of "Bringin' it Backwards," Adam and Tera Lisicky sit down with Gannon Fremin of Gannon Fremin and CCREV for an honest, down-to-earth conversation about chasing dreams, building a band from the ground up, and the realities of making it in the music industry. Gannon shares how growing up in a tight-knit, musical family in South Oklahoma shaped his early love for music—he didn't even realize playing guitar wasn't something every kid did! We dive into the roots of the band, from impromptu jams at family reunions to forming Cross County Revenue (the original CCREV), and talk about that pivotal moment when they signed with Warner Records after years of hustling as an independent act. Gannon opens up about the highs and lows: finding validation when things start picking up, the nerves of jumping into songwriting sessions with big-name writers, and learning to trust the process—even when it takes a decade. He gives us the real story behind viral hits like "Love Me Too" and "With or Without Me," and how strategic marketing combined with raw truth helped those songs reach new audiences. Whether you're an aspiring musician or just a fan of honest storytelling, Gannon's advice is simple but powerful: “The only way to lose is to quit.” Ready for the kind of music industry story you don't hear every day? Hit play, and don't forget to subscribe to "Bringin' it Backwards" for more candid conversations with legends and rising stars.

Staring at a blank DAW is exhausting; staring at a mapped-out arrangement from a reference track is energising. Marc walks through a clear, repeatable reference track arrangement blueprint workflow that turns a single reference track into a full song structure, so you can stop looping and start finishing. From matching tempo and key to placing eight-bar markers, Marc shows how to label intros, verses, breakdowns, builds, and drops, then use that structure to guide creative choices without feeling boxed in.Marc digs into why intelligent imitation is a craft skill, not a shortcut. By reverse-engineering the reference track structural DNA, you can learn pacing, contrast, and energy flow faster than via trial and error. He goes beyond markers to analyse macro dynamics, tonal balance, and how loudness shapes a listener's journey. You'll discover where spectrum shifts create space for vocals or bass, and how micro-changes sustain attention across long sections. With stem splitting from the reference, you learn drums, bass, and instruments in isolation and translate their function into your own sound.The practical steps are simple: import your reference track, set BPM/key, add a one-bar buffer for alignment, then mark changes every eight bars. Use those signposts to automate builds, design drops, and maintain forward momentum. As your track evolves, reduce reliance on the reference and treat it as a launch pad, not a cage.Marc closes with a challenge: pick a song that grabbed your ear, map its structure today, build your arrangement, and send him a work-in-progress. If this approach helps you move faster and think clearly, subscribe, share with someone stuck in loop-land, and leave a quick review to help more producers find the show.Links mentioned in this episode:Listen to DarklightHow to Make Progressive House from Start to Finish | SpliceSend me a message Support the showWays to connect with Marc: Listener Feedback Survey - tell me what YOU want in 2026 Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Book your FREE Music Breakthrough Strategy Call Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

Send us a text"It's about really being 100% present." How do you reconcile the hustle of creative professionalism with the presence of mind creativity requires? Irish musician and rock/blues guitarist Paul Sherry might have an answer.In this episode, Emmeline sits down with prolific guitarist and songwriter Paul Sherry to talk about his journey towards mindfulness, his deep respect of presence, and the way his deepening spirituality manifests in his music on his new record, Peace in Mind. They talk about the beauty of being onstage and being fully present with an audience, and about Paul's intentional approach to bringing that same energy to the studio and to his collaborative music. They also have an honest conversation about how we get wiser and more present as we get older, and why we tend to create more when we put our phones down.To learn more about Paul Sherry, or to follow his musical journey, visit him on Instagram, stream his music on Spotify, or check out his official website.For behind-the-scenes information and more about Journey of an Artist, visit the Journey of Series official webpage, or follow Emmeline on social media at @EmmelineMusic.

In this episode, I shine the spotlight on The Unfaithful Servants through a conversation with singer, guitarist, and songwriter Dylan Stone From Vancouver Island's roots scene to a week immersed at IBMA in Chattanooga, the Servants have built a sound that slips past easy labels: tight three- and four-part harmonies, fearless arrangements, and a blend of bluegrass, folk, alt-country, and Americana that still feels unmistakably like one band.Dylan walks me through the Servants' arc: his partnership with mandolinist Jesse Cobb (a founding member of The Infamous Stringdusters), the jolt of energy when fiddle phenom Quinn Etheridge-Peddon joined, and the final puzzle piece in bassist Mark Johnson. We discuss the chemistry that's palpable onstage and how trust enables them to push beyond genre boundaries while always prioritizing the song.Their new album, Fallen Angel (out October 17), captures that identity. The band converted Quinn's basement into a studio. It brought in producer Adrian Dolan to keep it honest and alive, arrangements evolving in real time, performances that breathe, and the raw cohesion of a working band. We also explore their next steps: incorporating listening-led improvisation into writing (akin to jazz school rather than “endless solo”) and planning U.S. runs in 2026 from the Pacific Northwest down the coast and inland.The title track “Fallen Angel” is out now on all platforms.Band lineupDylan Stone — vocals, guitar, songwritingJesse Cobb — mandolin, instrumental writing, vocalsQuinn Etheridge-Peddon — fiddle, vocalsMark Johnson — bass, vocalsTo learn more about The Unfaithful Servants, visit their website.Music from the Episode:Fallen Angel (The Unfaithful Servants)Real to Touch (The Unfaithful Servants)Thank you for listening!

What does a true wall of sound feel like when the vocal still breathes? We sit down with vocalist‑producer Jay Cali (DRUMxWAVE) and mixer‑producer Brian Skeel to unpack the craft behind Severed, big drums, widescreen synths, supportive guitars, and why clarity starts with a shared vision before a single plug‑in loads.We trace the journey from demo to master, beginning with an hour of alignment on emotion, references, and the “mountaintop” vocal image that sets every downstream choice. Brian breaks down how he builds commanding vocals without harshness: Revoice for doubles and harmonies that behave like real performances, meticulous cleanup, Slate's processing for character and control, FabFilter DS for precision, and a touch of L1 to pin dynamics so automation can shape arcs. Width becomes a dynamic fader, verses intimate and centred, choruses opening with MicroShift for that lift you feel more than hear. Jay and Brian also reveal the “demon” breakdown: a vocoder moment sculpted with Baby Audio's Humanoid, tamed by Soothe 2 and widened just enough to shock, then glide.If you've ever struggled to pair synths and guitars, you'll get a clear playbook. Guitars serve aggression rather than steal focus, panned L/R and low‑passed to make way for hi‑hats and vocal air. Synth choices lean on Serum 2 and ANA 2, with patches picked for fit, not flash. The top end gets the same discipline as the low: cut clutter above 10 kHz so the mix doesn't fizz, a lesson that came into focus after upgrading monitors and hearing what the old room hid. And for loudness without lifelessness - around −7.8 LUFS - Brian details a reference‑driven, top‑down chain using Metric AB, soft clipping and bus moves to reduce limiter strain, and focused multiband to keep choruses powerful without pumping.Along the way, you'll pick up collaboration habits that save weeks: arrive with a concise brief and references, label stems to spec, and send specific revision notes. Ready to test it? Grab one current track with guitars, synths, and vocals. Try widening only the chorus vocal and low‑passing rhythm guitars until the breath returns. Hear the space? That's what loud and open can sound like. If this resonates, follow, share with a friend who mixes dense productions, and leave a quick review so more producers can find these deep dives.Links mentioned in this episode:Follow DRUMxWAVEFollow Brian SkeelListen to Chroma CloudSend me a message Support the showWays to connect with Marc: Download your FREE Producer Growth Scorecard Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Book your FREE Music Breakthrough Strategy Call Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!
