That said, listening to this episode is the closest thing you’ll get to downloading Tom’s experience directly into your brain, so you definitely don’t want to miss this one! ---- “Generally speaking, a good song is a good song is a good song. I’ve been very fortunate throughout my career to have some great songs on my console.

In this episode, we’re thrilled to welcome Patrick Stump (vocalist of Fall Out Boy) and Sean O’Keefe, who produced the debut Fall Out Boy album “Take This To Your Grave” as well as their “Lake Effect Kid” EP. ---- They have a ton of history together dating back to the early days of the band, but what makes this such a cool and fun conversation is that it’s not just a nostalgia fest. They’re able to compare the past to the present, talk about what they learned along the way, and touch on a few of the things about the old days that they’ve kept alive even as their careers leveled up. ---- Patrick and Sean dive deep on how it felt to be reunited for “Lake Effect Kid” years later, how they met, how they’ve grown as creators and some fun things that you probably didn’t know about “Take This To Your Grave.” --- It’s a rare opportunity to sit down with a band that’s gone from playing to a dozen people at a bowling alley to playing the Superbowl twice AND a producer who’s worked with them at both points in time, so don’t miss out on this one! ---- Leave us a 5 star rating and review please!

Producer Jacob Hansen and the members of Dyscarnate join us to discuss how to optimize a DIY production. If done properly, even a low budget production can be turned into gold in the hands of the right mixer. ----- When Jacob Hansen handled the mixing for With All Their Might, he was given a bare bones, but properly done DIY production. The band gave him everything he needed to be able to turn it into a crushing mix. In this episode we discuss what is important and what isn’t important when your recording situation isn’t ideal. It’s true that nothing beats a great band in a great room with great gear and a great producer, but that’s just not reality for most bands and it’s important to know how to make the best out of any recording situation you find yourself in ---- Leave us a 5 star rating and review please!
