Conventional advice on compression often boils down to: "don't squash the life out of your tracks with over-compression" and "buy THIS plug-in because it adds that extra special sweet saucy goodness to your tracks!"But why ARE we actually compressing our tracks? The truth is, many DIY productions actually suffer from under-compression and it's because 1: compression is hard to hear so people don't trust themselves with it and 2: we lose track of the WHY...as in why are we compressing? In this episode Vadim breaks down arguably the two most important reasons to apply compression to your tracks and the practical ways to employ them in your workflow. You will learn:Three common reasons compression is used and why the first two are the most important and often least-talked aboutHow to set up a static mix and what "flags" to look for that hint at compression being a solutionWhy applying compression before you even start mixing can make the process easier (and more fun)OK.

Reverb can seem simple...it's just a washy effect, right? Sure. It could be that but it's also so much more. From being your "backwards/forwards" lever, to creating texture, to adding thickness, to creating an illusion of space, reverb ends up being one of the most important parts of a well-crafted production. Oh. And there's like a dozen different kinds. But don't worry! On this episode, we'll help you navigate this complicated landscape. On this episode you will learn:About the different kinds of reverb and why the sound different form one another5 different reasons to reach for a reverb plug-in in a mixWorkflow best-practices (and why some of them are over-rated)Key reverb parameters, what they do and how to set themWhere to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.

Sometimes you hear a song that sounds so huge your jaw drops. How did they do that? The answer is almost always: layers. And while all of this is more art than science, there are a few guidelines to keep in mind when building layers that will help your quest. On this episode you will learnWhat different elements can be layered for impact. These include frequency, harmonic content, stereo field, front/back depth fieldWhy keeping things simple is importantWhen to copy/paste MIDI performances for layers vs when to record liveExamples of different ways to use layers effectivelyWhy layers are not only the key to impact and size but also to originalityAnd more!Where to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.

OK. It's not the most sexy part of producing music but it's one of the most important. There's an amazing thing that happens when you've finished editing the tracks in a song and hit play for the first time: it starts to sound like a SONG. Even before compression, before EQ, before that sexy saturation trick you learned from Johnny Lots-o-Grammys, things will start to sound GOOD after some proper editing. And this feels amazing and helps you build momentum going into a mix. On this episode, you will learn: Why editing is as ethical as putting on a nice outfit for a job interviewWhy editing, while tedious, can actually be a huge time saverThe different types of edits pretty much every production can useThe difference between slip editing and time-warp editing (hint: both are incredibly useful)Different types of cross-fades and how to use them effectively Tips for editing vocals - like what to do about all those harsh s sounds piling up. How to get rid of the little rip or warble that happens sometimes when two clips are overlappingHow to use "masking" to determine where to put edit points. And more!Where to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.

Critical listening is the ultimate skill of the recording enthusiast and headphones are the tool we trust most to enable this skill. Why? Well, because most of us are not working in ideal spaces and it's much easier to get an objective (and affordable) perspective in headphones. But what kind of headphones should we use? The answer depends in large part on application - although some designs do tend to serve us better than others. If you asked me 4 months ago, I would have told you to stay away from ear bud designs in the studio. The sound quality out of those things just tends to be too poor for a studio reference tool (thought they're obviously great for jogging, traveling, etc.,). However, today, our friends at Flare Audio have developed a new ear bud called the E Prototype which has completely blown me away. In the first part of this episode, Vadim chats with Davies Roberts of Flare Audio about the problem with traditional headphone designs and how they were able to overcome them with the E Prototypes. In the second part Vadim talks about some best practices and tips and tricks for working in headphones in YOUR studio.

It can be really difficult to isolate a specific instrument from a finished mix...and that's kind of the point! A mix is like a stew, it should taste like a stew - not like a bunch of individual ingredients. Wouldn't it be cool if you could isolate individual instruments of a finished mix and hear what they sound like solo'd? We thought so too! That's what we do in this episode. You will learn:How to decide between double tracking and quad trackingHow mixed drums sound and what big changes are made to the kick and snareHow to get wider, thicker, more interesting vocal mixesHow additional layers can help "fill in the cracks" of a mixWhat unmixed vs mixed stems sound likeArtist: Dan Casagrande - Fading AwayWhere to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.

Plugins, microphones, outboard gear. These are the tools of our trade. If you fancy yourself a craftsman, then you probably love tools of your craft. You probably watch videos and get served ads. You probably pay attention to what others are using. You've also probably amassed a hefty collection yourself! We know we have. On this week's episode we do some soul searching on why we love some tools and why our relationship with others didn't quite pan out. You will learn:How to categorize and think about tools you already have or are considering gettingGood and bad reasons to consider new toolsHow to make sure you're reaching for the "right" tool for a given a jobWhy you may want to avoid "Swiss Army Knife" toolsWhat are some of the key tools that Ben and Vadim love in their studiosQuestions to ask yourself when considering new toolsWhere to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.

Before the days of DIY, recording music could be a more intense process. Bands were prepared to spend weeks or even months in a studio trying different instruments, different amps, different mic techniques, different arrangements, etc., - all before ever hitting RECORD. Mixing, on the other hand, was more about achieving balance between those carefully produced tracks. Today, it's the exact opposite. We tend to throw together pristine digital recordings as quickly as possible and the QUICKLY move onto the sexy mixing phase. ...but what if there was a hybrid approach that could be more fun and get you a more satisfying result? In this episode, you will learn:How the process of making records has evolved (and three reasons why)An alternative approach and it's possible advantagesA recent case study from Vadim's studio and what he learnedTips for employing the "day two" method in your own work processThe key mindset shift that is required for this process to work - it's an easy one.Where to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.

If you've just been sticking to open guitar chords and pentatonic scales then you're cooking with salt and pepper. What if you had a whole arsenal of spices to work with? Sure you might make some weird meals at first but you'd probably also make some pretty memorable ones - and over time, you'd learn when to use (and not use) certain spices. Hint: NEVER use star anise. That stuff will ruin anything. In the last episode Ben gave us a high level overview and what's included in this monster we call "music theory". This time, he pulls out his guitar and talks about specific modes, scales and paths from note to note which allow us (as songwriters and performers) to change the mood or character of a composition or performance. You will learn:What the difference is between a major scale and a minor scale and how to convert one to the other. Some helpful memory techniques for distinguishing intervals (these even work for the relatively tone deaf)What the different modes within a key are and some helpful memory joggers from pop cultureWays for guitarists and bassists to use modesChord notations.

Many of us had unpleasant run-ins with music theory through involuntary music lessons as kids but is it actually useful as a studio tool? Maybe. Sometimes. It's a tool that can help you out of arrangement and production jams. Stuck trying to figure out which chord to play next in a progression? Need to get a bassline that will work with your vocal melody? Theory can help. In this episode, Ben takes us through the three basic elements of music theory: Tempo, Meter and Key. You will learn:Why theory is becoming more and more important for the DIY bedroom producerThe definition of music theory - and why Vadim disagrees with itHow tempo relates to meterHow common meters dictate "feels" in Western music How to use meters to create unique arrangements - and some famous examplesThe basics of keys and how they subdivide the 12 notes in music and allow the creation of a "mood"The circle of fifths finally explained in a way that even Vadim can understand and how to use it to help you determine what key a piece of music is inWhere to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.

One the key pieces of a successful production is maintaining the listener's attention effectively. There are many ways to do this - some subtle and others through a bit of gamesmanship and shock value - but if your production doesn't manage transitions effectively, you are guaranteed to lose the listener at some point. They won't know exactly WHY something isn't but they'll just feel like they're not into the song. The analog Ben used is when you're watching a movie and somethings looks blatantly CGI.

Revisions are perfectly natural. They're what happens when two people love a piece of music very much but don't completely agree on how it should sound when finished. These waters can be stressful to navigate. Do you push back on comments? Do you shrug and accept any feedback you're given?

Is this episode any different? Yes! There are ALWAYS more things to test within your signal chain. On this episode Vadim takes you through his latest guitar DI recording experiments. He tried four different tests:Old strings vs new stringsHi-Z input on his interface vs. connecting through the Little Labs STD Cable ExtenderWith and without engaging a compressor built into his preampHi-Z input on his interface vs. "the be all end all" DI chain with a bunch of clap trapOn this episode you will learn:How to "design" a good riff to use for A/B testingHow much of a difference new strings really make - both for DI recordings and reamped tonesSeveral reasons why running A/B tests on your own signal chain are importantThe important factors to consider when doing A/B testingThe thought process that goes into deciding what to put into your signal pathWhy a DI tone difference may not always amount to a difference in the final productWhy (or at least how) Vadim is a bad scientist and really set some unfortunate traps for Ben in this shootoutWhere to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.

It's compression!Compression is probably the subject of the most "Top 10 Tricks" videos on the internet (unverified, wild-ass claim) but to really understand and get something out of all of these videos, we first need to understand the concept of "dynamics". In this episode, the guys lay down the foundation of knowledge on dynamics that will make future discussions on the various processors and tools possible. You will learn:What "dynamics" areWhat the difference is between "macro-dynamics" and "micro-dynamics"Why and when we may care about macro and micro dynamics in the context of a music productionDifferent ways we can control dynamicsThe different processors in our arsenal that allow for dynamics controlWhy a compressor is a remarkable simple concept with remarkably deep applications and how to understand what a compressor does. When to reach for a dynamics processorWhere to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.

Ben has a friend like who made statement to the tune of: "you can only get great guitar tone by recording a signal through a good DI box". Of course, the guys were skeptical. Is this true? Can you not get an equally great tone just plugging your guitar directly into the Hi-Z input on your interface? In this episode the guys discuss the theory and then put it to the test with some bass and guitar tone shootouts provided by Ben. You will learn:Why an impedance mismatch can affect your tone and how this led to the invention of the DI boxWhat a DI box is and (roughly) how it worksWhat different types of DIs exist and what sets them apartWhat are the use cases for a DI - irrespective of whether there is a tone benefit or notHow an active DI sounds compared to a passive DIWhat to listen for when evaluating a DI toneWhy Vadim thought he knew about transformers but was actually wrongWhere to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: https://www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://www.calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://www.dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.

If you've ever tried it, you already know this! You need so many pieces to "solve the full puzzle" of creating a song and, in most genres, the lyrics and the melody are the biggest pieces of that puzzle. Because of this, they're often the hardest parts to write but they also offer the biggest opportunity to make a song "yours". One of a kind. Something only YOU with YOUR life experience could have created. That can be exciting!Today the guys talk to singer/songwriter and music blogger Sayana about this very topic.

What is it about these sounds that causes such an intense reaction - even at relatively low volume levels? How come we can still enjoy a really loud concert at much higher SPLs without getting that same level of anxiety? Davies Roberts, founder of Flare Audio, says he can tell you EXACTLY what's causing this: resonances in the actual structure of your ear which boost certain upper mid frequencies. He and the team at Flare Audio have been working to solve this problem and several other curious conundrums in the world of acoustics and sound. What does all of this mean for our productions and mixes? Take a listen!On this episode you will learn:About speaker technologies and why they're less than idealHow the ear's organic structure creates resonant peaks in certain frequency bands and why we aren't all hearing the same thingHow the ear's organic structure is not optimized for hearing what we're looking atAbout some solutions Flare is developing to solve the issues above How this knowledge should or shouldn't affect our engineering/production decisionsA bit about hearing loss and tinnitus and the challenges of developing solutionsFlare Audiohttps://www.flareaudio.com/https://www.facebook.com/flareaudioWhere to Find the GuysFree DIY Recording eBook: www.howtorecordyourband.comVadim's Studio Site - Get your FREE test mix today! - https://calmfrogrecording.comBenjamin's Studio Site - https://dreamloudstudio.comLeave a rating.

We've all heard terms like "crunchy", "warm", "beefy", "nasally" but what do these terms mean? Are they part of a common guitar language that we can use to communicate to each other or are they purely subjective? Can we really train our ears to distinguish between these concepts? Have no fear. On this episode the guys talk about the language of guitar tone and will explain exactly how to train yourself to hear these different concepts and use them to sculpt the tones you're working with. You will learn about:Harmonic overtones and why the same note will sound different on different instrumentsWhy amps are a bit like instruments and why their tonal character can only be manipulated so muchThe three basic types of guitar distortion and how to distinguish themThe four places in a guitar signal chain where distortion can happenThe 7 dwarves of tone and how to use them to start building your guitar tone lexiconDifferent examples of tones to help reinforce the conceptAnd much more!
