512 - Chris Brush: Recording, Drumming, Mixing, Producing, Leaning into Your Passion, Accepting the Role of Entreprenuer


Listen Later

Originally from Garland Texas, Chris Brush moved to Nashville in the fall of 1999 after college to play drums professionally. Over time, session opportunities ignited a passion in Chris as he began to work toward getting off the road full time, and move into the studio scene.


Along the way Chris discovered that engineering, mixing, and music production were as exciting to him as drumming. He put the effort into learning about the world of acoustics, microphones, pre-amps, compressors, equalizers, DAWs, mixing, engineering, etc. He began mixing his own projects that turned into mixing and recording other artists — all the while playing drums live, in his home studio, and at studios around Nashville.


In 2014 Chris and a partner, opened PlethoraTone studios. After eight years at PlethoraTone, Chris moved into a studio he designed and built. On any given day, Chris is either out and about Nashville playing on sessions or working out of his own place recording, producing, or mixing.


In this episode, Chris talks about:

  • Drumming, Mixing and Producing and how these skills feed each other
  • Accepting the role of entrepreneur
  • Building the ultimate home studio
  • How to communicate with an artist effectively
  • Providing flexible pricing options when tracking remotely
  • Discovering what it is you’re passionate about
