  • Podcast notes!

    Great fun fellows with tons of practical tips!! I love the podcast summary notes that they provide. I listen to these as I’m checking the pasture fences and often can’t remember of all the details. Those notes are really valuable.

    I am two episodes in and really enjoying the Studio Stuff podcast. Chris and Steve are extremely likable co-hosts with great interaction. Their insights into audio production should be helpful for self recording musicians and those with home studios. Give it a listen! -chaz

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 22 - The Placebo Effect in the Studio: Are Your Ears Lying to You?
Q: How do I solo a reverb channel in Cubase without hearing the incoming signal?
You can use the Control Room feature in Cubase to activate the Listen option on the channel you want, which will dim everything else and allow you to hear just the reverb.
Ep11 - The Vocal Chain Deep Dive: From Raw Takes to Radio-Ready
Q: When are you adding plugins? Do you apply the routing and then EQ and stuff plugins to the initial channels? Or are you doing it after you've committed them to audio?
You should add plugins after you've committed them to audio, especially for VST drums.
Ep09 - Recording Vocals is More Than Just Hitting Record
Q: When using samples, should you try to find ones that are tuned to the original drums?
I mainly focus on the character of the sample rather than the tuning.
Ep08 - What If Analog Gear Isn’t About the Sound at All?
Q: Do you guys have a daily practice or kind of a routine to improve your mixing skills?
Regular practice, such as mixing downloaded tracks and reverse engineering sounds, helps develop mixing skills.
Ep08 - What If Analog Gear Isn’t About the Sound at All?
Q: What is aside from the headphones and the speakers and the computer, what's the next piece of essential gear?
Microphone is essential, followed by EQ or compressor for mixing enjoyment.
