The Modern Recordist with Jon Stinson | Inspiring insights with creative visionaries, artists, songwriters, and producers episodes

  • EP: 034 – The Brendan O’Brien two mic drum recording setup – The Producer’s Notes
    Welcome back to another edition of The Producer’s Notes. Typically, these are the alternate episodes that we publish every other week, but for the entire month of January, we’re publishing an episode of The Producer’s Notes every week.
    We’ll begin bringing guests back on the show starting in February…
    This week, host Jon Stinson shares some ideas around recording drums, which has been somewhat of a focus of his in recent times. Contrary to popular belief, Jon is NOT a drummer, but over his 10+ years of recording experience, he has collected quite a few skills that have shaped him into an engineer that is good at working with drummers to craft a good sound, and coaching drummers to great performances in the studio.
    A little while ago, Jon recognized that recording drums is something that overwhelms a lot of people when starting out. Other more experienced people even develop a few bad habits when recording drums.
    So Jon put together a free resource on his website, Recording Drums 101: A Home Studio Recording Guide For Pro Sounding Drums
    This edition of The Producer’s Notes features the Brendan O’Brien two mic drum recording setup from that resource.
    For tons of easy, practical, and great sounding drum recording setups, check out Recording Drums 101
    While there, make sure you subscribe to Jon Stinson’s email list using the form on that page to get more articles and tutorials on recording, mixing, songwriting, and creativity, delivered directly to your inbox.

    Welcome to the first show ever of The Modern Recordist in 2016. If you’ve been listening to this podcast for a while, thank you. Welcome back. There’s tons more where the first 6 months came from.
    If you’re new to the show, welcome! Thanks for joining us. You’re gonna love it here 😉
    So whether you’ve been a longtime listener, or you’re brand new, this show is going to serve as an “about us” episode of sorts.

And with tons of new folks joining us all the time, it definitely can’t hurt to make sure we’re up to date with all this show is about.
    If you’re interested in hearing the official “About Us” episode we put out, check out the blog post where we published the first three episodes:

  • EP: 032 – The best time to write music, unique recording tips, and The Modern Recordist in 2016
    On this final episode of The Modern Recordist for the year, Jon and Parrish discuss some thoughts around the future of the podcast, and what the plans for the show are over the next 6 months and beyond.
    The cheat sheet:
    • “The 15 Minute Mixdown” will now be called “Producer’s Notes”
    • You can expect some “leveling up” in production value (coming Q2 2016)
    • What the plan is for the show throughout the month of January
    Jon and Parrish also get into some thoughts around songwriting, recording, and mixing:
    • When is the best time of day to write?
    • A unique way to string your guitar for interesting sounds
    • Chaining delay and modulation FX together for even more interesting sounds in your mix
    Thank you for being a listener in 2015, and here’s to more great things to come along the journey that is The Modern Recordist!

    So here we are at the end of the year. This is the second to last episode we’re going to do for 2015. We’ve got one more episode coming to you after this one.

    On this edition of The 15 Minute Mixdown, host Jon Stinson is joined by JD Tiner to talk about some recording and mixing techniques. We’ve done a couple episodes like this in the past, and since it’s been a while since we’ve featured a recording topic, we thought it was about time for another.
    On this episode, Jon and JD talk about recording kick drum and bass guitar, as well as managing the low end of your mixes. They also discuss some philosophies in dealing with the room you’re working in, as well as monitor position.

    This week we are joined by Nashville indie rock band The Hollywood Kills. The band sits down with host Jon Stinson to discuss stepping into a place of vulnerability, and sticking your neck out when it comes to the process of creating and releasing music. The band also shares how they draw inspiration from popular TV shows like “Breaking Bad” and how that plays a part in influencing their writing.

    This episode is a little longer than usual. Partly because our host Jon Stinson lost track of time while being enthralled in a good discussion, and partly because we did things a little different than usual.

It’s a very streamlined operation with very high quality gear, and a built in community of A-list session musicians to give your music the quality and attention it deserves.

  • EP: 028 – Leave Room For The Conversation – The 15 Minute Mixdown
    On this week’s edition of The 15 Minute Mixdown, host Jon Stinson talks about some ideas around keeping a sane and clear mind when juggling your artistic work and personal life. He also explains why these mindest topics have dominated these solo episodes. And finally, he gets into the main content of the episode – “leaving room for the conversation.”
    Many writers and filmmakers employ a technique of leaving “open loops” in order to craft a compelling story. It’s something award winning photographer, Chase Jarvis, talks about as well. In the songwriting and record-making world, leaving something “intentionally incomplete” seems to be a more applicable way to think about it. It serves as a post-creation collaboration of sorts.
    Listen to this episode of The Modern Recordist now to get the full scoop on this songwriting and production technique, for crafting really compelling music, that will keep fans listening, creating real meaning and impact with them.

  • EP: 027 – Sparking your creative evolution, creating meaning with your music, and the importance of “why” with Dead Cures
    This week we have Dead Cures in the studio with us! Dead Cures is a brand new indie rock band based out of Nashville, which evolved out of the long-running Nashville indie rock band Kink Ador.
    Host Jon Stinson chats with the band to talk about their “why,” the personal evolution of each band member, how they each got started in music, where the band name Dead Cures came from, and what message they are creating and empowering people with through their music.
    And of course the band jams us out to some great live performances as well!
    Before the mics came on we dealt with quite a bit of technical difficulties. The band waited patiently as we got that worked out, and made the show happen despite all the resistance. Only then to deal with an audio dropout right around the 12 minute mark. Ugh!
    But we pressed on, channeled our inner Steven Pressfield [The War of Art], and ended up with an amazing show…
    Connect with the band! Dead Cures is planning to put out some exclusive content on their YouTube channel. And they need 100 subscribers to grab their vanity URL on YouTube. So let’s see how quickly we can make that happen!
    Hit their website, and click or tap on over to their YouTube channel and get subscribed!

  • EP: 026 – How Big Are You Thinking? How To Think Bigger – The 15 Minute Mixdown
    *Recommended book for this episode: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
    This episode is a brainstorm of sorts… On this edition of The 15 Minute Mixdown, host Jon Stinson asks a whole bunch of questions and offers thoughts on getting into a mindset of thinking big.
    Often times, we don’t check in with ourselves by asking questions in order to evaluate where we are on our journey, and whether or not we’re headed in the right direction. Because of this, we miss opportunities to think in a way that will put us on a course to creating significance and meaning.
    Are you thinking of what you do in terms of the significance and impact you are creating? Or do you resolve that that kind of thinking is only for world leaders and global charities?
    As a music creator, do you give yourself credit for having a significant power of influence, and a message that has impact?
    Or do you limit yourself by thinking that the music you create is “just for fun” and doesn’t have too much real influence?
    When you create music, do you focus on empowerment for yourself and the world, or do you only focus on what you will get out of it?
    These are questions and thoughts that Jon works through on this episode of The Modern Recordist. Spend just a few minutes listening to another solo edition of The 15 Minute Mixdown, and check out the actionable takeaways towards the end.
    If you would like more recommendations on how to put yourself in a place to think bigger… OR! If you have some recommendations you would like to share… Make sure you get in touch with Jon at http://jonstinson.com/contact
    Start a dialogue, share your story, share your advice, share thoughts on how this episode hit you, and follow up to get more.
