Unstoppable Recording Machine Podcast

Matt Brown is a producer, drummer and one of the best damn drum techs to walk the planet. He’s worked with artists such as Shinedown, Mutemath, and Whitechapel. ---- Matt Brown returns to the podcast to chat about his work with Jon Anderson, revisions in the studio, and what to expect from the new release of his Ultimate Drum Production course. UDP is the most comprehensive course ever created on recording drums, and in this episode we share some of the juiciest bits of the course. ---- “Watch, observe, actively watch, take notes, and then do. That’s the easiest way to learn. And consistently repeating the “doing” process is how you get better.” - Matt Brown ---- Leave us a 5 star rating and review please!

Producers Carson Slovak, Grant McFarland, and Rivers of Nihil guitarist Brody Uttley join us for a discussion about their work together. ---- Carson, Grant, and Brody worked together on multiple Rivers of Nihil albums, the latest being Where Owls Know My Name. The guys talk about why this has proven to be such a solid team, the unique workflow and techniques they’ve developed, and how they handled some of the many curveballs on this album. And despite a few quick detours into everything from aviation to AI along the way-- but somehow, it all ends up coming back to what ties them together: the music. ---- “Even if AI gets to the point where it can create music on the level that a human being can, I feel like it’ll always be pulling from examples that were created by humans. Because I think no matter how far down the line we get with AI, you’re probably not going to be able to simulate something like childhood trauma, the loss of a loved one, or a divorce.” - Brody Uttley ---- Leave us a 5 star rating and review please!

Professor William Chaplin is a professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham, and leads the Asteroseismology program of the NASA Kepler Mission. ---- We’re thrilled to have Professor William Chaplin on the podcast this week to look at audio from the fascinating perspective of someone who focuses on what could be loosely termed the sound of stars. We dive deep with him on some incredibly interesting topics like how sound works in space, how he’s able to measure the resonances of objects that are countless light years away, and how all of that can inform the way we think about sound here on earth. ---- “Think of the total energy bound up in the sound that’s contained in a star. It’s hugely, hugely, vastly bigger than the energy that you have tied up in someone playing a musical instrument. But it’s the same fundamentals, the same principles.” - Professor William Chaplin ---- Leave us a 5 star rating and review please!

Chris Kelly is the guitarist in Galactic Empire and Alustrium as well as a producer/engineer. ---- We’re thrilled to have Chris Kelly on the podcast to talk about how he learned the incredibly intricate Galactic Empire material, how producers create their own competition, our love/hate relationship with the internet, and of course the age old question: do you need an audio degree? ---- “It seems like with every generation, people become more self-qualified to be critics of whatever form of media they’re consuming and more outspoken about it.” - Chris Kelly ---- Leave us a 5 star rating and review please!

Don’t be scared of it. Step back, take a look - what is this saying to me? Pull your head up out of the sand.” - Alex Prieto ---- Leave us a 5 star rating and review please!

He is rightfully considered one of the most innovative, groundbreaking and influential artists in his self created and ever evolving category of music, and we’re very stoked to have him on the podcast. ---- Devin is as thoughtful and articulate as he is talented, so this one is a fantastic episode that covers a ton of ground: how to know when it’s time to move on to a new project, what it’s like to have people pressuring you to take a stand on an issue, and why it’s oftentimes difficult but always necessary to come to terms with who you are as a creator. ---- “I think I was aware throughout my career that if I had ever gotten really successful, I just didn’t have the mental fortitude to handle it.” - Devin Townsend ---- Leave us a 5 star rating and review please!

Bryan Von Reuter is a forensic media examiner who works as a court-appointed expert on both state and federal cases, often focusing on technical analysis of audio files to establish the identity of a speaker, source of a sound, and so forth. ---- We spend so much time on this podcast focusing on people who work with audio for music that we sometimes forget that there's a wide world of non-music related audio careers. Even if you don't fit the producer mold, it doesn't mean you don't have a future in audio. We’re excited to have Bryan on to discover more about forensic audio analysis and how it’s used: what tools and techniques he relies on, how he works with criminal defense attorneys, what is an isn’t acceptable in a court of law, and of course, how these techniques could cross over into music work.  ---- If you love the technical episodes then you won’t want to miss out on this one because it goes deep! ---- “There’s, to some extent, this vow of poverty that happens when you want to truly follow the path to make a creative life that involves self-prescribing and making art and music for yourself. Sometimes that’s incredibly culturally salient,  and then sometimes it totally diminishes the joy when you start involving other people with it or sharing it with the world.” - Bryan Von Reuter ---- Leave us a 5 star rating and review please!

Blasko is the bassist for Ozzy Osbourne, former bassist for Rob Zombie, and manages prominent artists such as Andy Black and Zakk Wylde. ---- Very few people have the chance to ever experience their dreams come true, let alone sustain those dreams for an entire career. That type of success doesn't happen by accident. Only through a sustained habit of great decision making, a network of influential strategic alliances, calculated risk taking, next level intuition, an unstoppable work ethic, and a little bit of luck can anyone even hope to have the chance to play the game at it's higher levels. It's rare to get the chance to pick the brain of someone who's made it happen, to that degree. ---- That's why we’re thrilled to have Blasko back on the podcast. He's been in the upper echelon of this business for decades and it really shines through in this episode.We discuss what it takes to make the most out of every single opportunity. Whether you succeed or fail at something, with the right mindset (and skillset) anything can be reframed to your advantage.  You’ll want to soak up everything he says, because it doesn’t just apply to touring, it applies to anything you want to do with your creative career.  ---- “Your network is your net worth. In this business there is no truer statement. There’s no truer reality.” - Blasko ---- Leave us a 5 star rating and review please!
