Ever had someone say, “This mix just needs a little more warmth,” and wondered what that actually means? Or maybe you've tried to get that rich, analog vibe in your digital mix and ended up with something that just sounded... dull? In this cozy, mojo-filled episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody break down the art (and science) of getting warmth in your mixes—from the tools they trust to the techniques they use every day. We're talking about that sonic something that makes a track feel full, smooth, and alive—without losing clarity.

Benson and Stabler look for a man who impersonated a cop on the phone and tricked a man into strip searching his employee. The trail leads to Merritt Rook (Robin Williams, in an Emmy-nominated performance), who squares off in court against Novak and wins an acquittal. Rook becomes a folk hero, saying we've all become sheep to authority. He organizes a flash mob in Grand Central Station where he kidnaps Olivia. Elliot tracks Rook to a recording studio where he's holding his partner. Stabler hears Benson's shrieks of pain from electric shocks, but they're only sound effects. As the detectives arrest him, this supervillain has one more trick up his sleeve: he activates an explosive that blows up the studio and gets away. Benson and Stabler chase him to the banks of the East River, but Rook vanishes, never to be seen again.We're talking about SVU's 200th episode: season nine, episode 17, “Authority.” Our guest from our February 27, 2019 show is Michelle Rubenstein from the "It Takes Three podcast" network.

Guest and HostGuest: Seth Cluett, Director of Columbia University's Computer Music Center | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seth-cluett-7631065/ | Columbia University Computer Music Center Bio: https://cmc.music.columbia.edu/bios/seth-cluettHost: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/Show NotesMusic and technology have always shaped each other, and few places embody that relationship as deeply as the Computer Music Center (CMC) at Columbia University. In this episode of Music Evolves, Sean Martin sits down with Seth Cluett, Director of the Computer Music Center and Assistant Director of the Sound Art MFA program at Columbia, to explore the center's rich history, its role in advancing music technology, and how it continues to shape the future of sound.The Legacy and Mission of the Computer Music CenterThe CMC is housed in the same 6,000-square-foot space as the original Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, which dates back to 1951 and is one of the world's oldest university-based electronic music research facilities. This was the birthplace of early electronic music, where pioneers learned to use cutting-edge technology to create new sounds. Many of those musicians went on to establish their own studios around the world, from Egypt to Japan.The center has played a role in major milestones in music history, including the work of Wendy Carlos, a former student known for Switched-On Bach, the score for Tron, and The Shining. The first piece of electronic music to win a Pulitzer Prize was also composed here. Today, under Cluett's leadership, the focus remains on creativity-driven technological innovation—allowing composers and artists to explore technology freely and push the boundaries of what's possible in sound and music.One of the center's guiding principles is accessibility. Cluett emphasizes the importance of lowering barriers to entry for students who may not have had prior access to music technology. The goal is to make sure that anyone, regardless of background, can walk into the studio and begin working with 80% of its capabilities within the first 20 minutes.Exploring the Labs and StudiosThe episode also includes a tour of the labs and studios, showcasing some of the center's groundbreaking equipment. One highlight is the RCA Mark II Synthesizer, the world's first programmable music synthesizer. Built in the late 1950s, this massive machine—seven feet tall and weighing over a ton—was instrumental in shaping the sound of early electronic music. The system worked by punching holes into paper to control sound generation, similar to a player piano. While no longer in use, the CMC has collaborated with iZotope to model some of its effects digitally.The tour also features Columbia's electronic music studio, which houses synthesizers from Buchla, Serge, and Moog—the latter being developed by Bob Moog, who was once an undergraduate at Columbia. The center's modern design emphasizes a seamless workflow between analog and digital technologies, allowing students to quickly create, process, and experiment with sound.Another key space is the immersive media and spatial audio research facility, which features a 12.1-channel loudspeaker sphere for ambisonic sound, along with a 32-capsule microphone that captures highly detailed audio environments. This technology is not only shaping music but also fields like virtual reality, data sonification, and interactive media.The Future of Music TechnologyLooking ahead, Cluett highlights the increasing interplay between AI, machine learning, and music composition. While some companies promote AI-generated melodies, he believes that truly expressive, human-driven composition remains essential. The role of technology, he argues, is not to replace human creativity but to enable new forms of expression. The CMC is at the forefront of this shift, experimenting with real-time audio processing, interactive performance systems, and embedded sensors that enhance live music experiences.As music and technology continue to merge, Columbia's Computer Music Center remains a key player in shaping the future of sound. Whether through pioneering hardware, software innovation, or fostering the next generation of creative minds, the center proves that music technology is not just about engineering—it's about expression, accessibility, and the pursuit of artistic joy.

Getting the perfect vocal take isn't just about talent—it's about technique, positioning, and knowing how to work the mic. Whether you're tracking in a pro studio or recording in a DIY setup, mic distance can make or break your vocal mix. In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody break down the art and science of mic positioning and why finding the sweet spot is crucial for getting that clear, full-bodied, and professional vocal sound. What We're Covering: How close should a singer be to the mic? The answer isn't one-size-fits-all, but we'll explain the general rules and when to break them. What happens when you get it wrong? From muddy, boomy vocals to thin and lifeless recordings, mic distance can have a huge impact on tone and clarity. Should singers hold the mic? Live performance vs. studio tracking—why holding the mic might seem like a good idea, but often leads to unwanted inconsistencies. What is the proximity effect? Ever wondered why getting too close to the mic makes vocals sound overly bass-heavy? We'll break down how this phenomenon works and how to use it to your advantage (or avoid it entirely!). Fixing common recording mistakes. Whether you're dealing with plosives, sibilance, or room reflections, we'll share practical tips to troubleshoot mic placement issues in any recording environment. Bonus: Don't miss this week's Friday Finds—where we share the latest gear, plugins, and tricks that could change the way you record vocals forever. It's all about getting the best vocal takes—without the guesswork. Tune in and let's demystify the perfect mic placement together!   #RecordingVocals #MicPlacement #VocalRecording #HomeStudio #ProAudio #MusicProduction #InsideTheRecordingStudio #MixingTips #AudioEngineering

In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody dive headfirst into the art (and occasional disaster) of layering similar instruments in a mix. When done right, layering can add depth, texture, and power—but when done wrong, you're left with a cluttered, phasey mess that no amount of EQ can fix. We're tackling: Synths – Can stacking multiple pads create a lush soundscape, or does it just turn into an undefined blob? Guitars – Doubling and layering techniques that add energy without losing clarity. Basses – Thickening the low end vs. creating an unintelligible rumble. Drums – Why layering kicks and snares can be powerful… but also tricky. Vocals – Finding the right balance between rich harmonies and overprocessed chaos. Along the way, we'll talk common layering pitfalls, best practices, and how to decide when enough is enough. And of course, no episode would be complete without some nonsense and this week's mysterious Friday Finds—trust us, you want to hear this one. If you've ever struggled with getting layers to sit just right, this episode is packed with actionable mixing tips to help you achieve a bigger, more professional sound without losing clarity. Hit play and let's stack those layers the right way!   #InsideTheRecordingStudio #MusicProduction #LayeringInstruments #MixingTips #AudioEngineering #MusicProducers #HomeStudio #MusicMixing #LayeringTechniques #StudioLife

In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody take on a critical piece of every mix—the kick drum. Whether you want deep, chest-thumping lows or a sharp, defined attack, EQ is the key to making your kick sit right in the mix. Here's what we're breaking down: Fundamental Low End – How to shape the bass for power without turning your mix into a muddy mess. Low Mids – The trouble zone! Tame the mud or embrace the warmth—your call. Upper Mids – Cutting through the mix without making your kick sound thin or harsh. The “Click” Factor – How the right amount of high-end attack can give your kick drum definition and presence. Plus, we'll dig into cutting vs. boosting in each range and explain the “why” behind each choice—because knowing whatto tweak is only half the battle. And since this episode is all about kicks, we promise plenty of fun, a bit of nonsense, and of course, this week's mysterious Friday Finds (you definitely don't want to miss this one). If you've ever struggled to make your kick drum hit just right, this episode is packed with practical EQ tips to help you lock in the perfect sound. Hit play and let's get that low end in shape!   #InsideTheRecordingStudio #KickDrumEQ #MixingTips #DrumMixing #MusicProduction #EQTechniques #ProAudio #StudioLife #AudioEngineering #MixingLowEnd

His dad, Frank Zappa, is celebrated as one of the most talented and creative guitarists in history, and by age 12, Dweezil was recording music produced by Eddie Van Halen. (Little surprise that he's covering Van Halen's 1981 stunner “Push Comes to Shove” lately.) He's been a bona fide guitar star ever since, releasing seven original solo records, six tribute records, two LPs with his brother Ahmet Zappa, and guesting on recordings across the music universe.Ahead of his gig at Memphis' Minglewood Hall on his 2024 Rox(postroph)y tour, which celebrated the 50th anniversary of Frank Zappa's Apostrophe (') and Roxy & Elsewhere records, Dweezil gave PG's John Bohlinger a boot-to-bonnet look at his current road setup. There's a lot of ground to cover between his and his father's catalogues, and Dweezil loves the challenge, which he meets with a mix of his own gear and some special vintage assists courtesy of his dad.

In this clip, legendary percussionist Ed Shea takes us back to his days at Sigma Sound Studios. Ed paints a vivid picture of the studio's bustling energy, where top-tier musicians like Bobby Eli and Tom Bell seamlessly crafted iconic records.Ed shares insider details about what it was like working with legends like Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, recording albums for Lou Rawls, and navigating the laid-back yet precise atmosphere of Sigma. He talks about how the sessions were structured—three sessions a day, double scale pay, and often a relaxed schedule where creativity could flow uninterrupted.He also offers a practical tip for musicians: always be prepared.
