How can I take my rate of output from feeling like “I’m a failure, wasting talent” to “FU*K YEAH! I’m Living Life FULLY!”

How to record and process vocals so they sit perfectly in the mix, connected to the song, with no weird resonances or peaky overtones.

How to hear everything differently, Instantly...

Are you sure you know what the goal of mixing is? If not, how can you know when a mix is done, or how good it is? Here’s how…

The Short Answer: Because I made a preamp that changed the way I think about recording.

Each eq/comp relationship has a different purpose and a different effect, but the underlying principle is the same: interactivity.

How to create drama in your mixes through contrast and evolving change throughout the song.

Often, innovators aren’t innovators at all, but replicators. Expand your musical horizons by examining those who influenced your influences.

Influential bits of wisdom from experts the world over.

Ask for help when needed, seek council when appropriate, but always disregard any advice that doesn’t jive with the map drawn in your head.

It may not be easy, but breaking habits *is* simple. Do it often, and your craft will improve immeasurably.

Whatever it is you need to do, get on with it now, and if you’ve already started, keep going until it’s done.

Arrangement: Do it right, and the listener can’t help but become mesmerized.

You don’t need to break new ground or blow any minds with your cleverness. Just get the job done.

I’ve always been a fan of minimal mic techniques on drums, and I still am, but the mics and their positions have changed pretty radically.

Every part of a song has it’s own beginning, middle, and end. It’s your job to move your audience through it. How well are you doing it?

If you want to be adored, you have to be okay with being reviled. You can't have one without the other.

You can be fairly clueless about something and at the same time be exceptionally good at it, because the results are what matters.

Play infinite games with yourself to expand your artistic processes, personal life, and even your mind.

When it comes to art and life, whatever you think you need to do, do it... because there are no rules.
