• Recording Setup Tips: Studio Myths That Waste Your Money



    Studio Myths, Busted: From Oxygen-Free Cables to DAW Snobbery

    In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris & Jody grab the magnifying glass and bust some of the most persistent (and occasionally hilarious) studio myths floating around the audio world. From oxygen-free cables and high-priced USB voodoo to the age-old “my DAW is better than your DAW” debate, it’s all on the table—and nothing is safe.

    Whether you’re a home studio warrior or a seasoned engineer, chances are you’ve heard (or believed) one of these. This episode helps separate audio fact from fiction, save you money, and possibly even save you from embarrassing gear conversations.

    But don’t worry—it’s not just a takedown. Chris & Jody bring real-world context, technical clarity, and their usual dose of dry wit and studio-side sarcasm. Plus, of course, they sneak in some of their favorite Friday Finds along the way.

    Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe let go of a few long-held beliefs. This is your no-BS guide to smarter studio decision-making.

    Chris shows his method for exporting multi-tracks in Logic Pro. Wether it’s for collaboration, or sending it out for mixing. A failsafe way to make sure everything will line up properly on the receivers end, to avoid timing issues. There’s also a brief explanation of the difference between multi-tracks and stems.
