How to Deal with Artists of Different Types
Running a studio isn’t just about gear—it’s about people. In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris & Jody explore the psychology of working & how to deal with artists and recording clients, breaking down the personality types you’re most likely to encounter. From the visionary perfectionist to the laid-back jammer, from the control freak to the “just tell me when it’s done” type, they reveal what it takes to adapt while keeping sessions productive and positive.
But knowing personalities isn’t enough. Chris & Jody share recording setup tips for handling tension, strategies for keeping egos in check, and methods for ensuring your creative input doesn’t get lost in the noise. They also discuss the all-important moment: when to stand your ground as an engineer or producer and advocate for the mix, workflow, or decision that serves the music best.
Along the way, expect their trademark mix of humor and insight (yes, some nonsense sneaks in), plus this week’s Friday Finds, which include something free and time-sensitive you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re outfitting your home studio gear or working in a commercial facility, understanding client psychology is as crucial as knowing your compressors. This episode equips you to manage both.
