This week on the penultimate episode of season 6, we thought it might be appropriate to feature our conversation with a guy who knows a thing or two about finishing records. Today we have our interview with world-class grammy award winning mastering engineer Chris Gehringer.  Chris has worked with countless A-list artists and major label superstars throughout his career, but he joined us on the record process to shine some light on his creative philosophy by describing the specific work he’s done recently with Lil Nas X, Rosalie, and 21 Pilots. He talks about creating cohesion in an album, and how mindsets can often differ between producers and mastering engineers. Chris weighs in the loudness wars, the discussions he’s had with clients about the reference material they send him, and why he believes that the best engineers and artists are always the ones who are open to the opinions of other collaborators.  Chris has amassed a wealth of knowledge and insights about making timeless records sound good, and he shares a ton of them with us right now.

10:55 - Working with Lil Nas X
14:35 - The shift in the mastering business across his career
47:55 - Getting notes from an artist vs a band
55:30 - Working on 21 pilots over Zoom

This week on The Record Process we are joined by guitarist and songwriter Jeff Sahyoun to talk about his project Erase Theory.  Digging into the inspiration for their newest EP 'The Good One', we uncover Jeff's journey of self discovery brought on by the ending of his former band LetLive. We discuss Jeff's transition away from social media and the music business, and how it ultimately allowed him to earn multiple degrees, find financial stability as a musician, and establish a healthy balance between work and music when he was finally ready to return to the stage. We talk about his studio in a backpack, grappling with choice paralysis in the digital world, and deciding what to do with the EP when it was finally finished.

22:45 - Understanding your identity when music isn’t going well

This week on TRP, Tom and I are joined by Steph and Paul O’Sullivan of the Irish Emo Rock band Greywind. Greywind burst on to the UK scene in 2017 when their debut album ‘Afterthoughts’ began turning heads across the rock world, capturing serious praise from BBC Radio Royalty and festival critics alike. While it seemed for a moment that they were poised to be on the fast track to living out most bands dream-scenario, the whirlwind of events leading up to this the recording of this LP - and the collapse of their team shortly thereafter - was anything but joyful. You’ll hear how the formation of their band resulted from the loss of a dear family member. The siblings unpack their journey from a humble demo of the first song they’d ever written together to recording a full-length album with producer Jason Perry at the legendary Sonic Ranch in El Paso, TX. And finally, they explain how they not only survived the gauntlet of being dropped by their labels, managers, agents - but how they were able to emerge from the pandemic with their best songs to date and more fans than ever before.
