Category: Season 2 – September

Dan Malsch talks shop with us about diversifying the range of your portfolio, how quitting is just not an option, and our shared love for Summit compressors.

You’re also going to be clued in on how to deal with the psychology of working on high profile, high pressure deadlines and requests as well as gain insight on the producer’s role and whether or not it’s appropriate to push your artist, or to “ride the vibe” and work with what you are given.

“I think getting things to sound absurd is more of a matter of getting the elements to work together like a puzzle rather than adding and adding…It’s like a Rubik’s cube almost, especially with low end…suddenly it sounds absurd, in a good way.” – Dan Malsch

ON THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT:

– Dan’s passion for educating from his studio
– Keys to diversifying clientele
– Dan’s new studio and why he upgraded the square footage when so many are downsizing
– Some of Dan’s favorite go to outboard
– Persevering in the midst of reaching the breaking point
– Being on-call all the time while working for big budget acts
– Dan’s philosophy on tracking with analog gear before mixing
– And much, much more

– The effects of arrangement on frequency space

Adam “Nolly” Getgood drops in to touch on everything from launching his new drum sample company GetGood Drums, to why he stepped down as the touring bassist for Periphery, production and mixing tips, as well as what it takes to network with the top tier world-class professionals out there.

“There’s this curve that happens where when you are first starting out, you don’t know what you’re listening for and being able to hear things in a really controlled environment in an amazingly treated room, allows you to develop your ear to hear the subtleties…what happens once you know what you’re listening to, you start to need less information to be able to do your job…” – Adam “Nolly” Getgood (Periphery, GetGood Drums)

This week, you’ll learn about:

– How classical informs Nolly’s musical perspective
– The countless producers who came up in the forum scene
– Nolly’s transition from touring musician with Periphery to fulltime producer / engineer
– How he delivered amazing mixes working with headphones on a tour bus
– What DAW Nolly prefers these days
– The techniques Nolly uses to get his SLAMMING bass tone ITB
– Why he prefers a Beta57 to the SM57
