Producer, mixer, and engineer Matt Wallace joins Marek Stycos for a conversation about creativity, risk, and the hidden work of producing records.

In Part 1, Matt talks about early experiments with sound, arranging, pre-production, working with artists, and the delicate psychology of helping a band change direction without taking ownership away from them. He also digs into the making of Maroon 5's Songs About Jane and the long road a record sometimes has to travel before it becomes what it needs to be.
