RSR485 – Raphael Sepulveda – How to Automate Your Studio for Music Production & Mixing

Why press many buttons when you can press one? Raphael talked about quick keys, Soundflow, Stream Decks, and iPads for creating macros to automate your studio processes, figuring out where you are wasting your energy, & staying in the creative flow.

My guest today is Raphael Sepulveda, an alt-rock producer and composer based in Nashville, TN. Originally from the Dominican Republic, Raphael found his way to the US in 2010 to pursue a college degree in Music. After graduating in 2013, he obtained an internship at StadiumRed Studios in NYC, where he learned the ropes and quickly climbed the industry ladder. Raphael worked as an in-house engineer at several other studios in the city, most notably SweetSounds Studios, before setting out on his own and becoming a freelance producer/engineer focusing on alt-rock.

In 2018, Raphael relocated to Music City in search of new beginnings. After the pandemic hit in 2020, Raphael partnered with Howling Music, a music-for-advertising company, as a composer. His work has earned the music house a 2023 Nashville American Advertising Awards Gold Addy award (best ad music in Nashville) and a 2024 Clio award for Use of Music in Film & Video.

Having a strong passion for music tech, he has become a third-party app developer for the software automation platform SoundFlow, creating productivity and workflow tools for Pro Tools.

RSR484 – Björgvin Benediktsson – How to Write, Record, Mix, and Release Your Own Music

New levels mean new devils! Björgvin talked about finishing a record, balancing music and family, making room for your next creativity, why music should be you first, mixing templates, mixtering, reaching the finish line, and finding your first gig.

My guest today is Björgvin Benediktsson, an Icelandic-American author, audio educator, and entrepreneur. He is the founder of Audio-Issues teaching thousands of musicians and producers how to make a bigger impact with their music. Björgvin has been an audio engineer since 2006 and has worked with hundreds of artists as an audio engineer, mentor, and educator.

He is the author of multiple books, including the best-selling book Step By Step Mixing which simplifies complex audio jargon and transforms insecure musicians into confident mixing engineers. He has written over 1,000 articles on audio production and his training has been featured in publications such as MusicTech magazine, The Huffington Post, The Recording Revolution, SAE Institute, and Audiotuts+ to name a few.

As the founder of Audio Issues, Björgvin helps home studio musicians and project studio producers make a greater musical impact in their lives by teaching them the skills needed to grow their hobbies and careers. He does this by offering simple and practical music production and success skills they can use right away to level themselves up - while rejecting negativity and gear-shaming from the industry.

When he's not helping entrepreneurs, audio engineers, and other creatives, he likes to hang out with his wife, daughter, and dog in Tucson, AZ, play video games, and read comic books.

RSR483 – Jose Castillo – Dance Producer with Bomba Estéreo in Bogota Columbia

The dance floor never lies! Jose talked about music the universal language, counterpoint in composition, why the stage sounds weird, sidechaining vocal fx and synths mixing, recording in the jungle, and building beats with Elektron and Ableton Live.

My guest today is Jose Castillo, a producer/songwriter for artists seeking to bridge the gap between the latin and english-speaking world, and the pop and alternative worlds. Jose’s discography has a great dance floor feel with a mastery of EDM style.

His recent work includes Grammy and Latin-Grammy nominated releases by Camila Cabello, Bomba Estereo, Bad Bunny, Manu Chao, Fonseca, and many others. 

His unique background combines a Caribbean and Latin sensibility, with classical training in composition, and a special point of view that comes from having toured around the world's best festivals with Bomba Estereo.

My guest today is Case Newcomb, a recording and mix engineer/producer and winner of the Music Expo Mix Critique for his live remixing who is currently working out of the historic Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco.

RSR481 – Chaz Root III – Recording Rock at Electric Owl Works Studio in South Wales NY

Turn your disadvantages into advantages! Chaz talked about losing sight but gaining a love for guitar, rocking with the Goo Goo Dolls, prank calling Tom Shultz of Boston, punk band tracking sessions, the famous $300 drum sound, & his new Atmos room.

My guest today is Charles Root III, a recording, mixing, reluctant mastering engineer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He has performed on releases by Goo Goo Dolls, Monkey Wrench, Stationwagon, Doombuggy, and Acme Anvil Corp. He is also Terran based biped who has improperly assumed human form, as evidenced by his poor eyesight. Due to this poor vision, he smells and hears things that others don't, which can be a blessing or a curse in the confines of a recording studio.

Chaz missed most of his sophomore and junior years of high school due to blindness and eye surgeries. He spent most of that period in his room with a walnut Explorer guitar, Marshall Plexi half stack, and a pile of old Electro-Harmonix pedals making sounds custom tailored to annoy his parents.

Chaz currently resides in South Wales, NY, USA with his wife and studio partner Julie "JJ" Guyse where they operate Electric Owl Works, LLC which includes a residential recording studio, Rachael's Owl Music (a BMI affiliated music publishing company), and the Electric Owl Works Records indie label. They are proud to have artists of many genres from around the world.

Thank you to Matt Boudreau for the introduction!

RSR480 – Jeremy Stephens – Producing Rock Records at Clearwave Studio in Northern Alabama

"Mix how you hear it!" Jeremy talked about recording Greg Allman, why no click track needed, when to use ribbon mics, thumb vs pick bass, how to mic drums, why you should get a console and tape machine, Hammond organs, and comping vocals in Logic.

My guest today is Jeremy Stephens, a music producer, mixer based in north Alabama, about an hour and a half south of Nashville. Jeremy has had the honor of collaborating with some of the greatest musicians on earth, from the Alabama Shakes to Jason Isbell, Gregg Allman to Chuck Leavell. “I learned the art of producing and recording from legendary rock producer Johnny Sandlin. He served as Johnny's right-hand man for many years, learning everything there is to know about making a goddamn good record.”

In 2001, Jeremy started Clearwave Recording Studio as a cost effective place to craft records on his own terms. It quickly became a sonic sanctuary for indie rock, americana, and a fresh alternative to the cookie cutter Nashville thing. “This is a place where creative souls thrive, where the ideas come to life, and where being different ain't just okay – it's downright expected.”

The goal here is to make hit records and win Grammys, and to do it the right way. Jeremy remains convinced that with the right approach, anything is possible. That's why he focuses on capturing the very best performances of great songs, and gives his musicians the freedom to explore and create.

Thank you to Craig Alvin for the introduction!

Vacuum the studio and blow a fuse! Tex talked about balancing a career as an electrical contractor with producing heavy rock records, ninja tips for Reaper drum editing and mixing, getting polarity and phase right, & his chain for a huge rock sound!

I met Tex and his friend Alex at NAMM a couple of years ago when they came to our first Recording Studio Rockstars meetup. I always love connecting with fans of the podcast aka the Rockstars and Tex is definitely one of them. He has a great rock band called Opticus and balances recording with a busy career as an electrician. His enthusiasm and dedication to making records and attending NAMM each year and the fact that Recording Studio Rockstars is able to help fans like Tex make great records inspires me to make this show and keep bringing you interviews every week. Tex’s credits include powerful rock bands like Forever Dethroned, Rust and Chrome, and Opticus which you can hear in the playlist.
