  • Please stop talking about Atmos

    Amazing show. Great resource for learning and hearing different techniques. Lij, please: lay off the Atmos content. Your audience has a range of folks, I know. But for us home studio folks, Atmos is impractical (and boring).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

RSR580 - Dmitry Taranov - SAE Institute Prof Unpacks Studio Tech, DAW Choices, and Russian Recording Secrets
Q: What tip would you give to someone learning a new DAW like Ableton Live?
Learn from someone who knows the DAW well, watch instructional videos, and read the manual, then dive in and use it to create something tangible; practice by building real patterns and expanding from there.
RSR578 Chris Pandolfi - Badass Banjo and Production Magic with The Infamous Stringdusters
Q: Tell us a little bit more about your studio setup.
Chris describes a home and friend's-studio workflow with multitracking at home, control over acoustics, and a setup designed for both his solo project and band work; he emphasizes that the home space needs to be acoustically solid and flexible for live-instrument tracking and later overdubs.
RSR577 - Marc Matthews - How to Build EDM Tracks From Start To Finish
Q: What is your take on royalties and registering music for future earnings?
Start early by registering with PROs like PRS, PPL, and publishing services such as Songtrust or Centric; understand that royalties come from multiple platforms and that timely setup saves headaches later on.
RSR577 - Marc Matthews - How to Build EDM Tracks From Start To Finish
Q: How do you approach building a track from a reference track without copying it?
Use stem separation as a study tool to understand arrangement and where elements enter/exit, then recreate the vibe with your own melodies and keys, focusing on the right mix of kick/bass and top elements rather than duplicating the melody.
RSR577 - Marc Matthews - How to Build EDM Tracks From Start To Finish
Q: So you mentioned working with top liners. How do you interact with topliners and what should Rockstars know about it?
Marc explains finding topliners through Vocalizer, negotiating a split, and sometimes having the topliner use a contract drafted by the platform; depending on the agreement, the vocalist may be credited or anonymized, and collaborations can be rapid with clear royalties.
