The Dead Buddhas stopped by Fox Cities Core on Code Zero Radio (WCZR) to celebrate the release of their debut album Sludge Americana.The Dead Buddhas are a band from Oshkosh, Wisconsin — Connor (vocals/guitar), JT (bass/vocals/recording & mixing), and Kevin (vocals/guitar) — who have been playing together since their high school days at Oshkosh West. They describe their sound as "sludge shoegaze" — a genre-bending collision of heavy, abrasive noise, dreamy post-rock atmospherics, and rootsy Americana influences. Think Black Sabbath meets the Grateful Dead, with a healthy dose of Johnny Cash and Korn thrown in for good measure. There's no single frontman here — all three members share vocal duties, which means any given song can swing from delicate, melodic singing to full-on aggressive screaming. Listening on headphones is strongly recommended.Sludge Americana was recorded and engineered at TR's Recording Studio in Oshkosh, a space the guys have deep connections to through longtime Fox Valley music community figure Uri Weber. JT handled all the recording, mixing, and mastering himself — a testament to the band's fully DIY approach. The album was written mostly on acoustic guitars, which is actually how the album got its name: when Connor and JT first started playing those heavy riffs acoustically, they looked at each other and said, "that kind of sounds like sludge Americana." The name stuck.In this interview we get into the full story — from their early open mic nights at New Moon in Oshkosh (where they were influenced by artists like Sarah Vos Winkle of Dead Horses and Nick Raymond of Traveling Suitcase) to their previous projects (Trying Tribals, Everything Went Silent... don't look those up, they said), to the making of Sludge Americana and what's coming next. We talk about the richness of the Oshkosh music scene, the DIY ethics driving the Fox Valley underground, and why they believe this region could become a legitimate hotbed for alternative music.We also get into the deeper themes of the album — nature, loss, urbanization, the anxiety of watching the world change around you — as well as some lighter moments: dream instruments (saxophone, cello, and lap steel), JT's hiccup phobia, the story behind the song "The Stairwell," Connor's dad and his bagpipes, and the band's whiteboard that doesn't have any markers yet.Sludge Americana is available now on all major streaming platforms and on physical CD.Fox Cities Core airs on Code Zero Radio (WCZR) — broadcasting live from Appleton, Wisconsin.

Does your DAW actually matter, or are we all arguing over the wrong thing? In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody tackle one of the most heated debates in home recording: which digital audio workstation you should use. Logic, Pro Tools, Studio One, Reaper, every camp has strong opinions. But as Chris and Jody break it down, the truth has less to do with brand loyalty and more to do with how your workflow responds to the interface in front of you. This conversation goes beyond surface-level DAW comparisons. They dig into how different GUIs affect your recording setup, how platform preferences shape your daily use, and whether there's actually any sonic difference between DAWs. Yes, they go there. If you've ever wondered whether switching software will magically improve your mixes, this episode will ground that thinking in practical reality. One of the key takeaways? Your home studio gear only works as well as your comfort with it. If your digital audio workstation slows you down, confuses you, or makes simple tasks feel complicated, it's not the right tool for you, no matter how popular it is. Chris and Jody emphasize choosing a DAW that matches your goals, your habits, and your creative process, not your bandmate's opinion or a Reddit thread. There's also the usual blend of insight and dry humor. At one point, they call out the “DAW tribalism” that shows up online, reminding listeners that most modern recording software is incredibly powerful. The real difference often comes down to user experience, speed, and how naturally the system supports your recording workflow. If you're building a recording setup for the first time, or questioning your current one, this episode delivers clear, practical recording setup tips without drowning you in jargon. It's about removing confusion and helping you make a confident decision about your digital audio workstation. And as always, stick around for Friday Finds and gear tips to sharpen your home studio gear choices even further.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews John von Seggern, founder of Future Proof Music School, about the intersection of music education, technology, and artificial intelligence. They explore how musicians can develop timeless skills in an era of generative AI, the evolution of music production from classical notation to digital audio workstations like Ableton Live, and how AI is being used on the education side rather than for creation. The conversation covers music theory fundamentals, the development of instruments and recording technology throughout history, complex production techniques like sidechain compression, and the future of creative work in an AI-assisted world. John also discusses his development of Cadence, an AI voice tutor integrated with Ableton Live to help students learn music production.

Future-proofing musicians means teaching evergreen techniques while adapting to AI realities. John von Seggern founded Future Proof Music School to address both sides of music education in the AI era. Students learn timeless production skills that won't become obsolete as technology evolves, while simultaneously exploring meaningful creative goals in a world where generative AI exists. The school uses AI on the education side to help students learn, but students themselves aren't particularly interested in using generative AI for actual music creation, preferring to maintain their creative fingerprint on their work.2. The 12-note Western music system emerged from mathematical relationships discovered by Pythagoras and enabled collaborative music-making. Pythagoras demonstrated that pitch relates to vibrating string lengths, establishing mathematical ratios for musical intervals. This system allowed Western classical music to flourish because it could be notated and taught consistently, enabling large groups to play together. However, the piano is never perfectly in tune due to necessary compromises in the tuning system. By the 1920s, composers had explored most harmonic possibilities within this framework, leading to new directions in musical innovation.3. Recording technology fundamentally transformed music by making the studio itself the primary instrument. The invention of audio recording in the early-to-mid 20th century shifted music from purely instrumental composition to sound-based creation. This enabled entirely new genres like electronic dance music and hip-hop, which couldn't exist without technologies like synthesizers and samplers. Modern digital audio workstations like Ableton Live allow producers to have unlimited tracks and manipulate sounds in infinite ways, making any imaginable sound possible and moving innovation from hardware to software.4. Generative AI will likely replace generic music production but not visionary artists. John distinguishes between functional music (background music for films, work, or bars) and music where audiences deeply connect with the artist's vision. AI excels at generating functional music cheaply, which will benefit indie filmmakers and similar creators. However, artists with strong creative visions who audiences follow and identify with won't be replaced. The creative fingerprint and personal statement of important artists will remain valuable regardless of the tools they use, just as DJs created art through curation rather than original production.5. Copyright restrictions are limiting generative music AI's quality compared to other AI domains. Unlike books and visual art, recorded music copyrights are concentrated among a few companies that defend them aggressively. This prevents AI music models from training on the best music in each genre, resulting in lower-quality outputs. Some developers claim their private models trained on copyrighted music sound better than commercial offerings, but legal constraints prevent widespread access. This situation differs significantly from other creative domains where training data is more accessible.6. Modern music production involves complex technical skills like sidechain compression and multi-track mixing. Today's electronic music producers work with potentially hundreds of tracks, each with sophisticated processing. Techniques like sidechain compression allow certain elements (like kick drums) to dynamically reduce the volume of other elements (like bass), ensuring clarity in the final mix. Future Proof Music School teaches students these complex production techniques, with some aspiring producers creating incredibly detailed compositions with intricate effects chains and interdependent track relationships.7. Culture is fragmenting into micro-trends, making discovery rather than creation the primary challenge. John observes that while the era of mass media created mega-stars like The Beatles and Elvis, today's landscape features both enormous stars (like Taylor Swift) and an extremely long tail of creators making niche content. AI will make it easier for more people to create quality content, particularly in fields like independent filmmaking, but the real problem is discovery. Current algorithmic recommendations don't effectively surface hidden gems, suggesting a future where personal AI agents might better curate content based on individual preferences rather than platform-driven engagement metrics.

Do you need a second mortgage for your home studio gear… or just better decisions? In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris & Jody take aim at some of the most stubborn recording myths floating around forums, YouTube comments, and that one friend who always says, “Yeah, but at 192k it just sounds better.” Let's talk about it. Is the highest sample rate always the right move? Is that boutique EQ actually worth your rent money? Are you missing out because you're not using “pro-level” converters? Or is the internet just really good at selling anxiety? Chris & Jody break down these recording setup tips with a mix of practical insight and dry humor. They're not here to shame your gear choices, or worship them. They're here to ask what actually matters in a recording setup and what's just digital overkill. There's some light shade thrown at gear snobbery. There's perspective from industry names like CJ Vanston, Jeff Scott Soto, Eric Valentine, Dave Pensado, and even Sir George Martin. And there's the quiet reminder that none of those legends built their reputations on spec sheets alone. If you've ever gone down a rabbit hole comparing amps, obsessing over EQ curves, or convincing yourself that one more plugin will fix everything, this episode is a gentle (and occasionally sarcastic) nudge back to reality. Because here's the thing: great records don't come from myths. They come from good decisions, solid fundamentals, and knowing when to stop chasing numbers. You'll also get this week's Friday Finds, because while we're busting myths, we're still discovering cool stuff. This conversation is for the home studio crowd trying to level up without lighting their bank account on fire. It's for independent artists who want honest advice instead of marketing copy. And it's for anyone who's ever wondered if the rabbit hole has a bottom. Spoiler alert: it does. And it's usually labeled “practice.” If you want practical recording setup tips without the hype, and maybe a little nonsense along the way, press play now.

Background vocals are supposed to sound huge, not like a group text gone wrong.   In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody tackle the surprisingly tricky world of big background vocals, from towering vocal stacks to rowdy gang vocals that sound like they might knock something over. If you've ever added “just one more harmony” and suddenly lost all clarity, this one's for you.   They start by answering a deceptively simple question: what kind of background vocals does your song actually need?Not every track wants a stadium-sized choir, and not every chorus survives being buried under twelve takes. Chris and Jody break down how background vocals function across genres and why restraint can sometimes hit harder than excess.   The discussion quickly turns to producer tendencies, some obsess over timing, some over pitch, and some spiral into fixing both until the emotion disappears. Chris points out how chasing perfection can kill the very thing background vocals are meant to add: energy. Jody shares how he keeps large vocal stacks feeling exciting without letting them turn into a technical nightmare.   You'll also hear practical advice on treating massive vocal stacks once they're recorded. When do you keep them tight and centered? When do you spread them wide? The mono-versus-stereo debate comes into play, with clear examples of how each choice affects impact and clarity. They also dig into effects that make background vocals feel alive, while warning against overdoing it and ending up with a cloudy mix.   One of the highlights is their breakdown of common background vocal mistakes. Over-stacking without a plan, ignoring blend, and slapping effects on everything can turn a “wall of sound” into, as they put it, “mud on toast.” The fixes are simpler than you think, especially if you're working in a home studio environment.   Along the way, they shout out legendary producers and bands known for their background vocal work, using those references to explain what makes big vocals last beyond trends. The focus stays practical and usable, no theory rabbit holes, no gear worship, just techniques that translate directly into better mixes.   Whether you're layering harmonies in a bedroom studio or tracking a full gang vocal, this episode gives you recording setup tips and mix strategies that actually work in the real world.   Stick around for Friday Finds, the Gold Star word, and the usual nonsense, and then go stack some vocals with confidence.   Subscribe so you don't miss next week's studio deep dive.   #BackgroundVocals #VocalStacks #GangVocals #HomeStudioTips #RecordingSetupTips #VocalProduction #MixingVocals #StudioWorkflow 

On this episode of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd sit down with special guest Chris Frankhouser — guitarist of No Sympatico and the owner / engineer behind Raygun Recording Studio in Kalamazoo, Michigan.Chris has been a major force behind the sound of countless heavy and alternative releases across the Michigan scene. From tracking crushing guitars to dialing in massive mixes, his work has helped shape records from bands like Lucius Fox, One With the Riverbed, Metzfire, Blisshead, and many more. In this conversation, we go deep into the origins of Raygun Recording Studio, Chris's journey into recording, and what it takes to create records that actually hit.We also talk about his role in No Sympatico, upcoming shows, studio gear obsession, and even building his own speakers. If you're a band, producer, audio nerd, or just someone who loves behind-the-scenes conversations about heavy music, this episode is for you.Topics we cover include:The inception of Raygun Recording StudioThe story behind the studio's nameChris's path into recording and productionWorking with bands like Lucius Fox, One With the Riverbed, Metzfire, and BlissheadBuilding custom speakers and chasing the perfect soundStudio gear, production philosophy, and workflowAdvice for bands heading into the studioLife in No Sympatico and recent / upcoming showsLinks & Resources:

Sample rates: the numbers everyone argues about, few people fully understand, and almost everyone has accidentally overused at least once. In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody pull the curtain back on digital audio's favorite bragging rights metric and ask a simple question, why are we even doing this? They start at the beginning, breaking down what a sample rate really is without turning it into a math lecture. From there, they explain why 44.1kHz and 48kHz became the standards they are today, and why jumping straight to higher rates isn't the flex some people think it is. If you've ever felt tempted to crank your session up “just in case,” this episode might save your CPU, and your patience. Jody digs into the practical side effects of higher sample rates: bigger files, heavier processing demands, and fewer plugins running before your system taps out. Chris adds a perfectly on-brand story about someone recording at 192kHz purely to look impressive. The result? A stressed-out system, bloated storage, and absolutely no audible win. Cool story, though. For anyone running home studio gear, this conversation cuts straight to what matters. Chris and Jody explain why upsampling won't fix bad recordings, why converting sample rates mid-session is asking for trouble, and how to choose a rate that fits your actual delivery needs. These recording setup tips aren't theoretical, they're the kind of advice you wish you'd heard before opening that first template. They also touch on how sample rate choices ripple through your workflow, from plugin performance to session compatibility. Whether you're collaborating with others or bouncing between music and video projects, knowing when to stick with a standard rate can keep everything moving smoothly. As usual, there's no gear-snobbery here. Chris and Jody aren't interested in telling you what's “pro”, they're interested in what works. The goal isn't bigger numbers. It's clean audio, stable sessions, and decisions you don't have to second-guess later. Stick around for the Gold Star word, check out this week's Friday Finds, and walk away knowing exactly why your next session doesn't need to run at the highest sample rate your interface allows.

Direct Input guitar recording has a reputation problem. For years, it's been treated as a backup plan, a safety net, or something you only do when a mic isn't available. In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody flip that thinking on its head and show why DI guitar recording deserves a permanent place in your recording setup. The conversation starts with the basics—what it actually means to record guitar using Direct Input—and quickly moves into the practical details that matter in a real home studio. Whether you're plugging an electric guitar straight into your interface or tracking an acoustic guitar with built-in pickups, DI recording offers a clean, flexible signal that can save sessions and unlock creative options later in the mix. Chris and Jody break down the home studio gear involved, from classic DI boxes to modern interface inputs, and how each choice affects your signal chain. They walk through common recording setup tips that help avoid noise, weak tone, or lifeless tracks, keeping the discussion technical without getting lost in jargon. This isn't theory—it's the kind of advice you can use the next time you hit record. One of the highlights of the episode is the discussion around reamping. Jody shares why having a clean DI track can feel like a creative insurance policy, letting you revisit tone decisions after the performance is captured. Chris adds a real-world anecdote about how DI tracks have rescued sessions that otherwise would've required full re-takes. It's one of those moments where experience speaks louder than gear lists. They also tackle the pros and cons head-on. DI guitar recording can sound sterile if you don't know what you're doing—but when used intentionally, it can be powerful, punchy, and mix-ready. The duo explores creative uses that even seasoned engineers sometimes overlook, reminding listeners that DI isn't just about convenience—it's about control. As always, the episode isn't all knobs and cables. Expect a few laughs, some classic studio nonsense, and the familiar rhythm of Inside the Recording Studio, including Friday Finds and the ever-elusive Gold Star word. The balance between education and entertainment keeps things moving, even when the topic gets technical. The episode also gives a nod to tools and people that have shaped the DI conversation over the years, including StudioDevil, Redwirez, CJ Vanston, and Paul Jackson Jr.—names that underline how widely DI techniques are used across professional workflows. If you've ever struggled to capture a guitar tone that stays flexible through mixing—or wondered if DI recording is “cheating”—this episode clears the air. Tune in, DI in, and let Chris and Jody guide you through a smarter, more adaptable way to record guitar. #DIGuitarRecording #DirectInputRecording #HomeStudioGear #RecordingSetupTips #GuitarRecordingTips #ReampingGuitars #StudioWorkflow #CleanGuitarTone

Making a Scene Presents - What Actually Matters When Building a Home Recording StudioA no-BS guide for indie artists who want results, not gear lustLet's be honest. Most home recording studios fail long before the first note is ever recorded. Not because the artist lacks talent. Not because the gear is cheap or outdated. They fail because the studio was built around shopping instead of decision-making. Money gets spent before the purpose is clear, and gear piles up without a plan for how it will actually be used. http://www.makingascene.org

What is compression, really? That's the question Chris and Jody start with in this episode of Inside the Recording Studio. Compression gets talked about constantly, but rarely explained clearly. This episode changes that. Why does compression feel so confusing? Because it's often taught backwards. Instead of explaining what compression does, people jump straight to settings. Chris admits he's guilty of the classic move, throwing a compressor on a track and hoping it magically fixes things. Jody laughs, because we've all been there. So what do the knobs actually do? Chris and Jody walk through the core controls you'll find on nearly every compressor: threshold, ratio, attack, release, and make-up gain. They explain each one in plain language, focusing on how it affects sound and feel, not numbers on a screen. Is this episode only for beginners? Nope. Whether you're new to home studio gear or you've been mixing for years, this episode is about clarity. Compression isn't about rules, it's about intention. Understanding the basics makes every compressor easier to use. What about that “glued” or “squashed” sound? Jody explains why those terms get thrown around and how compression contributes to them. The key takeaway: chasing a sound without understanding compression usually leads to overdoing it. Are there practical takeaways? Absolutely. This episode is packed with simple recording setup tips that help you listen more effectively. Attack and release stop being scary once you hear what they change. Ratio starts to make sense when you understand how much control you actually need. Does it still feel like an Inside the Recording Studio episode? Very much so. You'll still get Friday Finds, a Gold Star word drop, and the familiar Chris-and-Jody rhythm that keeps things technical but approachable. There's even a little premonition about the next Tuesday Tip if you're paying attention. Who is this episode for? Anyone who's ever used compression and wondered if they were doing it “right.” This episode doesn't give you rules, it gives you understanding.

Ever have a mix that looks perfect but sounds like it's missing its spine? Congrats, you might be dealing with phase cancellation. This week on Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody dig into one of the sneakiest audio problems around, the kind that makes engineers blame their gear, their DAW, or their life choices before realizing the real issue was phase all along. Phase cancellation doesn't announce itself loudly. It doesn't clip. It doesn't distort. It just quietly eats your tone. Chris and Jody explain how it happens when waveforms don't line up, causing parts of your sound to cancel each other out. That's why your guitar cab can suddenly feel hollow, or why your snare drum vanishes the second you bring up the overheads. Jody points out how easy it is to start twisting EQ knobs when something feels wrong, even though the problem has nothing to do with frequency balance. Chris jumps in with real-world mic placement scenarios, reminding listeners that phase issues often begin before the signal ever reaches your interface. Move a mic an inch, and suddenly your sound goes from solid to sad. The conversation stays practical the whole way through. Chris and Jody talk about how to actually hear phase problems, not just spot them visually. They cover when polarity tools help, when they don't, and why blindly flipping switches can sometimes make things worse. There's also a strong reminder that “good enough” mic placement is often the root of phase headaches in home studio gear setups. They also zoom out to the bigger picture. Phase isn't just an issue for drums or multi-mic recordings, it affects entire mixes. Layering parts that seem fine on their own can lead to unexpected cancellations once everything plays together. If your mix feels thin even though each track sounds decent soloed, phase might be the missing piece. Of course, this being Inside the Recording Studio, there's no shortage of dry humor and light nonsense along the way. Chris and Jody keep things fun while still delivering solid recording setup tips you can use immediately. If your mix keeps losing punch for no obvious reason, or your recordings sound weaker than they should, this episode will help you stop fighting your DAW and start fixing the real problem.

Gain staging is like flossing: everyone knows they should do it, very few people actually do, and the consequences sneak up on you later. This week on Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody rip into the mysterious, often ignored art of gain staging and explain why your mixes might be suffering because of it.   They cut through myths, bad advice, and internet half-truths to show how managing levels at every stage of your signal flow keeps distortion in check, noise under control, and your sanity intact. From audio interface troubleshooting to plugin gain behavior that nobody warns you about, it's all on the table.   Jody confesses the moment gain staging finally “clicked” for him and how it fixed problems he didn't even realize he was creating. Expect laughs, mild heresy, useful recording setup tips, and just enough nonsense to remind you that audio is supposed to be fun.   Hot signal? Cold signal? Haunted signal?

Chris and Jody are hitting rewind and bringing back a special encore presentation of one of the most beloved conversations in Inside the Recording Studio history: their in-depth interview with CJ Vanston. And honestly? This one was worth rerunning anyway.   CJ Vanston isn't just a producer or keyboard wizard, he's a musical storyteller who's been behind the curtain of some truly iconic recordings. In this episode, Chris and Jody revisit their captivating conversation with CJ, unpacking how great records actually get made, why vibe matters more than gear lists, and what decades in the industry teach you that no plug-in manual ever will.   Behind the Curtain: CJ's Creative Process This encore gives you another chance to soak in CJ's refreshingly grounded approach to music production. He talks openly about creative decision-making, how he chooses sounds that serve the song (not the ego), and why less technical obsession often leads to more emotional impact. If you're deep into home studio gear, chasing better recording setup tips, or endlessly tweaking instead of finishing songs, this conversation might gently (or not-so-gently) reset your priorities.   CJ also dives into how he listens: stripping sessions down to the essentials, focusing on feel before fidelity, and trusting instincts over specs. It's a powerful reminder that great records aren't built by hiding behind menus or obsessing over hidden features in studio gear, but by committing to musical choices that communicate something real.   Musical Wisdom That Still Hits Whether you're an aspiring producer, a seasoned engineer, or a musician building tracks at home, CJ's insights hold up beautifully. He shares hard-earned lessons about collaboration, keeping sessions human, and why the best studios, regardless of budget, feel safe, playful, and honest.   Along the way, Chris and Jody keep things firmly grounded in Inside the Recording Studio fashion: smart questions, practical takeaways, and just enough nonsense to remind you that making music should still be fun. Expect laughs, side comments, and the kind of conversational detours that make it feel like you're hanging out in the control room rather than sitting through a lecture.   Why This Encore Matters If you missed this episode the first time, welcome, you're in for a treat. If you heard it before, you'll likely catch new details this time around, especially if your studio skills (or frustrations) have evolved. From practical mindset shifts to subtle production philosophies, this rerun proves that the best advice doesn't expire.   So grab your headphones, fire up your DAW (or maybe… close it for an hour), and join Chris and Jody as they revisit a timeless conversation about music, production, and the art behind the hits.  

Control surfaces look cool. Like, really cool. Rows of glowing faders. Buttons everywhere. That unmistakable “I totally know what I'm doing” vibe. But are they actually useful—or just expensive desk ornaments? This week on Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody grab the nearest fader and ask the uncomfortable question: do control surfaces in music production actually make your life easier? They rewind to where these things came from (spoiler: some are older than your favorite plug-in) and why engineers wanted hands-on control in the first place. Then they fast-forward to today's marketplace, where you can buy anything from a single-fader gadget to a spaceship-sized board that looks like it should launch satellites. You'll hear honest takes on what works, what doesn't, and what's straight-up marketing fluff. Chris & Jody talk about the moments control surfaces genuinely shine—rides, automation, performance-based mixing—and the moments where grabbing a mouse is faster, cheaper, and far less annoying. They don't dodge the awkward stuff either: Why some control surfaces slow you down Why setup can be more painful than audio interface troubleshooting Why “more knobs” doesn't always mean better mixes There's real talk about budgets, desk space, ergonomics, and whether a control surface actually fits your workflow. Plus, they'll name a few favorites they'd recommend without feeling guilty about it later. With jokes, tangents, Friday Finds, and a healthy dose of skepticism, this episode is perfect for anyone tempted by slick demo videos—or wondering why their friend's studio looks like NASA.   #ControlSurfaces #RecordingGear #HomeStudioLife #MusicProductionTips #ProAudio #StudioWorkflow #MixingTools

The All Local Afternoon Update for Thursday, December 11 2025

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!!

Tina and John tell a few entertaining stories about on the job bloopers.

Reverb isn't just an effect, it's the invisible architecture of every mix. In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris & Jody step through the misty doorway where reflections, decay, and space become instruments of their own. Whether you're mixing in a compact bedroom rig or a sprawling commercial facility, reverb shapes how listeners feelyour music long before they consciously hear it. And today, the guys take you far beyond the “insert plugin → turn knob” approach. They explore reverb as texture, story, emotion, and as one of the most important creative tools available to any producer. They kick things off with the math behind ambience: how pre-delay carves space between consonants, how decay time sketches the size of a hall, and how simple millisecond calculations create depth that even expensive hardware can't fake. They break down why springs twang, why plates shimmer, and how digital tails can stretch into gorgeous infinity, even in a modest home studio gear setup. But theory is only half the fun. Chris & Jody dive into the moments where reverb transformed a track: – A snare hit turned into a swelling pad – A vocal wrapped in an ethereal halo – A guitar that dissolved into cascading shimmer – A room reverb that glued an entire mix together They even reveal the handful of go-to reverbs that never fail them, plus the oddballs that inspire unexpected ideas. If you're looking for recording setup tips, subtle mix moves, or even “try this and break the rules” techniques, this episode hits all the marks. Of course, it wouldn't be an Inside the Recording Studio episode without humor, side quests, and a few baffling tangents. Between reflections and decay tails, Chris & Jody squeeze in this week's Friday Finds, uncovering everything from quirky stompboxes to software that solves those “why is my audio interface doing that?” mysteries. Yes, there's even a shoutout to audio interface troubleshooting and the eternal struggle to keep your gear clean (and knowing when not to use Windex on your rack units). By the end, you won't just understand reverb better, you'll hear your mixes differently. You'll recognize how space guides emotion, how ambience inspires performance, and how reverb becomes the connective tissue that defines a song's world. Reverb isn't noise bouncing around a room. It's the air between moments, the breath of the mix. And in this episode, Chris & Jody show you how to shape that air with confidence, intention, and just enough mischief to keep the creative spark alive. #MusicProduction #HomeStudioGear #RecordingEngineer #MixingTips #ReverbTechniques #ProducerLife #ProAudio #InsideTheRecordingStudio

Let's be honest: backups are about as exciting as dusting your studio monitors or alphabetizing cables. But nothing will make you scream into the void faster than losing a session you swear you saved. In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris & Jody grab you by the shoulders and lovingly scream, “BACK UP YOUR STUFF!” They dive into backup options from “cheap but risky” to “Fort Knox for audio nerds.” Drives, RAIDs, clouds, offsite bunkers—okay, maybe not bunkers, but close. You'll hear their own cautionary tales, including technical ghosts that haunted their studios and files that pulled Houdini acts at the worst possible moment. The guys break down how they organize projects, why simple habits beat complicated systems, and how to build a backup routine that doesn't feel like flossing. It's equal parts education, comedy, and therapy for anyone who's ever lost a take. And yes, Friday Finds is here to save the day with tools that keep your sessions safer than your last ex's Netflix password. #music production workflow #home studio gear essentials #recording setup tips for producers #pro audio gear insights #DAW backup strategies #audio engineering tips #studio gear organization #creative workflow protection

You can have the best studio gear, but if you can't handle artists, you might as well be recording air. In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris & Jody turn the faders down on gear talk and crank up the discussion on people management—because the biggest noise in the studio isn't feedback…it's ego. From the control freak who wants to tweak every EQ band to the “just tell me when it's done” type who ghosts halfway through the mix, our hosts dissect the psychological minefield of modern recording. Expect stories, sarcasm, and a few too-relatable moments for anyone who's ever had to smile through the fifteenth vocal take “just to be safe.” You'll get smart recording setup tips to diffuse tension before it ruins your vibe, plus learn how to assert your producer instincts without flipping the studio couch. Chris & Jody even share their secret methods for reading body language faster than your DAW loads plugins. Stick around for this week's Friday Finds, because there's something free—and time-sensitive—you don't want to miss. So grab your coffee, mute that talkback mic, and prepare for a crash course in studio survival psychology. This one's for the engineers who mix music and emotions. #InsideTheRecordingStudio #StudioPsychology #HomeStudioGear #RecordingSetupTips #ProAudioLife #ProducerMindset #MusicProductionTips #CreativeWorkflow

Getting separation in your mix isn't about pulling instruments apart—it's about giving them space to breathe. In this week's Inside the Recording Studio, Chris & Jody break down the art and science of separation, revealing how clarity and cohesion can live in perfect balance. They unpack why separation matters, when it's essential, and how to achieve it without flattening your mix or losing energy. From classic EQ carving and stereo panning to dynamic range control and subtle ambience tricks, you'll walk away with practical recording setup tips you can use in any environment—whether you're crafting tracks with modest home studio gear or mixing in a world-class room. Hear real-world “road warrior” stories where chaotic sessions were rescued through clever problem-solving. Learn how to manage frequency masking, where low-end instruments fight for the same space, and why sometimes too muchseparation can strip away the glue that makes a song feel alive. Chris & Jody dig into the psychology of sonic space—why our ears crave balance—and show how separation can guide emotion, groove, and impact. Naturally, there's humor sprinkled throughout (don't worry, no actual divorces took place while making this episode). They finish strong with their fan-favorite Friday Finds, spotlighting the latest plugins, monitoring tools, and workflow hacks to keep your mixes sharp and inspired. If your songs sound muddy, crowded, or like your guitar player's ego is sitting on top of your vocals, this episode's your fix.

Send us a textWhat happens when a seasoned audio engineer becomes a doctor of audiology? You get a refreshingly clear path from “that sounds tinny” to real, measurable improvements in speech clarity. We sit down with Dr. Steven Taddei to unpack how studio skills—mic placement, EQ, compression, and a careful ear for detail—translate directly into smarter hearing aid programming and better outcomes in the real world.We start with the basics of how sound is shaped, then peel back the curtain on real ear measurement, the gold standard verification that ensures hearing aids meet your prescription inside your own ear canal. Think of it like graphic EQ you can see: targets, curves, and live adjustments that make speech audible without turning the world up to eleven. Steven also takes on a common misconception: hearing aids don't double as hearing protection. He lays out practical hearing conservation strategies, from filtered earplugs to context-specific protection, so you can enjoy concerts and still wake up without ringing.Choosing technology gets easier when you understand what matters. We compare entry, advanced, and premium hearing aids, explaining channels, noise reduction, and directionality in plain language. Not everyone needs the top tier; speech-in-noise testing helps match real needs to the right level, and sometimes the best upgrade is a wireless microphone that lifts the talker's voice above the chaos. Throughout, we keep the focus on real life—watching TV without arguments, navigating restaurants with confidence, and keeping music fun for musicians and fans alike.If you care about audio fidelity, clear speech, and protecting the hearing you have, this conversation delivers practical tools you can use today. Listen, learn, and share with someone who wants to hear more and strain less.  Connect with the Hearing Matters Podcast TeamEmail: hearingmatterspodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @hearing_matters_podcast Facebook: Hearing Matters Podcast

Early in August, Record Store Day held their annual "Summer Camp" meeting in New Orleans, once again returning to the lovely Hotel Monteleone, in the heart of the French Quarter, for a few days of meeting, schmoozing, and, frankly, Big Easy cuisine. During the week, host Paul Myers recorded a couple of live interviews with musicians talking about their approach to the music business in 2025.  Today, we are sharing one of them. Guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer David Rawlings, whose most recent album with Gillian Welch, Woodland, was one of the best records of 2024, sat down with Paul in the Hotel Monteleone ballroom to discuss his duo's truly independent, and self-reliant, approach to the business of music making and distribution. Welch and Rawlings are co-owners of Nashville's Woodland Studio, their own Acony Records label, and now, they are partners in their own prestige pressing facility, Paramount Pressing & Plating, in Denver, Colorado. It's a fun talk! The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

I was in the middle of folding my laundry when I heard a crackle of thunder — so I grabbed my microphone and ran out to the shed, pressed record, and dashed back to the house. My watch congratulated me for hitting my move goal.My whole young life I had been naive to calamity, feeling the universe must revolve around me and thus of course I would be some famous screenwriter with a sports car and a mansion with like fifty hot tubs (hot tubs always being my barometer for success — ever since that childhood stay at a swank Courtyard by Marriott in Augusta, GA). My feeling of indestructibility never shifted into the realm of weather. I'm amazed I couldn't use that reality to break my narcissism elesewhere. Whatever, lightning; lightning scares the **** out of me. Whenever the sun is blotted out by a massive thunderstorm I am positive that any second I could be speared by Zeus.I don't know where I'm going with this other than “fear the sky;” so I'll stop. And finish by saying the episode cover was a bit of fun in Photoshop. I wanted to visit an old muse, the Unholy Cumulus, a mischievous cloud that starred in a Nike Presto ad from the early aughts by my first production house crush, Shynola. When I saw the ad I was like, “that is the type of ‘what' I want to do for a living.”

Life on the road for musicians may sound glamorous—sold‑out shows, luxurious hotels, and the rush of touring—but behind the music, there are chilling stories that rock legends rarely talk about. From restless spirits lurking in the shadows of tour buses to spectral visitors in hotel rooms, and even unexplainable phenomena inside recording studios, the paranormal has long played a mysterious role in the lives of traveling musicians.   We start with the eerie world of tour buses. For many bands, their bus becomes a second home, but these mobile sanctuaries have also been the setting for strange and unsettling encounters. Some musicians have reported waking in the night to see shadowy figures standing silently in the aisle. Others have spoken of cold spots, phantom footsteps, or the unexplained sound of knocking from the storage bays. Is it the lingering energy of past tragedies, or are spirits somehow drawn to the intense, emotional atmosphere of life on tour?   Next, we check into the haunted hotels that touring acts frequent. Many historic hotels across the country are steeped in ghostly lore, and traveling bands often find themselves as reluctant overnight guests in these paranormal hot spots. From strange voices over the phone when the line is dead, to TV's turning on in the middle of the night, and even musicians waking to find a ghostly figure at the foot of their bed—some of these tales will make you think twice before staying in a famous rock‑n‑roll hotel. We'll share chilling accounts from legendary venues like The Hollywood Roosevelt, The Chelsea Hotel, and others that have left more than one touring artist shaken.   Finally, we step inside the recording studios—sacred creative spaces where some of the most iconic albums have been born. But these studios have their own haunted histories. Engineers and musicians have described equipment malfunctioning at key moments, strange whispers bleeding into recordings, and feelings of being watched while alone in the control room. Some claim these spirits are former musicians still attached to the place they loved most; others think the heightened creative energy somehow invites supernatural activity.   Throughout this episode, we'll share documented cases, first‑hand stories, and a few hair‑raising legends from the road. We'll also explore possible explanations—could these experiences be tied to the intense emotions, long hours, and sometimes tragic events that surround the rock‑n‑roll lifestyle? Or are these truly encounters with the other side, reminding us that music, like the spirit, lives on forever?   Whether you're a paranormal enthusiast, a music lover, or both, this episode will give you a whole new perspective on the life of a touring musician. So grab your backstage pass, settle in, and join us as we turn up the volume on the haunted world of rock‑n‑roll travel.   Listen now—and remember, on the road, you never know who might be traveling with you… unseen.   Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural.
