Ah, compression. That lovely, magical, mystical thing that supposedly can fix things in the mix. Chris and Jody tackle what is compression. What are the common components and what do they do to the sound. That is the 1000 foot aerial view of compression and the backbone of this particular episode. Also, Friday Finds is here. What did Chris and Jody discover this week? Will they be the same thing? One way to find out… Download and listen!
It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.
p.s. A premonition for the next Tuesday Tip is also within this podcast.

In this Tip Jody walks you through extreme examples of phase cancellation. Using a Kick drum sample as the instrument to pay attention too. Exploring what it sounds like when a sound can completely erase itself, and when it could fully enhance itself and other sonic values in-between.

Chris and Jody take on the concept of Phase Cancellation. What exactly is it? What does it do to the sound of an instrument when you’re micing it? How does it get in the way of a mix? Does it get in the way of a mix? You don’t want to miss this one. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.

This week Chris & Jody tackle the definition of what a Producer actual does and what a Mix engineer actually does. Going thru the “old school” means they were defined by. Of course we have the all important Friday Finds and there’s some real good ones this week. A big thank you for the listener who sent us a request to define these rolls in the world of music recording. It is not unlikely that some nonsense will also be discussed.

Chris and Jody tackle the concept of Gain Staging. What does it mean? Why should we care? What does it come from? How does it relate to recording and mixing? These are all things to think about. Plus find out where Jody had a gain staging “revelation.” Find out the Gold Star word of the week. What new music related products we found this week in the Friday Finds and what will the next Tuesday Tip be? One way to know – tune in. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.

Chris and Jody ring in 2021 with talking about the elements that make up the anatomy of a synth. The pieces parts so to speak from a signal flow concept. Think of it as an overview of the beginning to understanding synthesis. They also kick off the year with their first Friday Find – what will it be? Plus learn what this week’s Goldstar word is – will you win? It is also not unlikely that some nonsense will be discuss as well.

In this video, Chris shows how you can use delay to create a guitar part, in the style of U2 or Angels & Airwaves. A simple, yet effective way to add interest to any simple part, on any instrument. Just make sure that your playing is in time…
