How Kris Crummett Learned to Hear What Everyone Else Missed


Listen Later

Kris Crummett is on the show, and this one rips.

Kris has been in music for basically his entire life and has worked on records by Issues, Sleeping With Sirens, Dance Gavin Dance, Alesana, Jonny Craig, Emarosa, Night Verses, and a whole lot more!

If you’ve ever wondered why one record punches you in the chest and another one sounds like it got sat on, Kris explains exactly why. We go deep on his path from making demos in a garage with ADATs and a Mackie mixer to becoming one of the most trusted names in production and mastering around Portland and beyond.

This is not a fluffy “studio guy” interview. Kris gets into the real stuff:

how his early demos beat local “pro” studios,
why bands accidentally sabotage their own masters,
what mastering engineers actually need from you,
and how knowing when to stop tweaking might be the most important skill in the room.

We also talk about the shift from chasing the band dream to building a career behind the scenes, the difference between hearing music as a fan vs hearing it like a technician, and why AI might create less of a takeover and more of a backlash toward real, human music.
