Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

#251 - Context Context Context (Vocals Pt2) 43:40

לפני יומיים43:40

43:40

What makes a vocal feel perfectly placed… or totally disconnected? This week, we’re getting way past plugin chains and diving into the real work of vocal mixing: context. We’re talking about how to make vocals live in a mix, not just sit on top of it. Because getting a vocal to shine isn’t just about EQ moves - it’s about storytelling, space, and knowing who gets the spotlight in each moment. We explore how we mix vocals completely differently - yet still aim for the same emotional clarity - and even find ourselves (gasp) passionately disagreeing about Vampire Weekend. Discover: Why the instrumental is the first thing we fix when vocals don’t feel right The “lead vocal vs. background vocal” question we think is kind of a trap The one question Carl asks in every section of every song When to make vocals felt not heard (and how that changes your mix decisions) Why we don’t always high-pass vocals—and what we do instead The subtle sidechain trick that helps your vocals breathe without boosting them When sharing reverbs between vocals and instruments makes your mix snap together The difference between using reverb for space vs. character Carl’s favorite compressor to kill backing vocal transients (in a good way) What mixing has to do with stage plays, ransom letters, and emotional punch Ben and Carl's Weekly Inspiration Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1IpnxDVoTY44JBV1j19H4h?si=0f80e020d8ae497e LA Wildfire Relief: Musicares - https://donor.musicares.org/page/lafirerelief WAMTN - https://give.wearemovingtheneedle.org/campaign/654724/donate Learn more about StudioLand - https://www.welcometostudioland.com/a/2147995182/bmyFf8p5 Download our free guide: "The Future-Proof Mixing Engineer: 8 Essential Skills for 2024 and Beyond" - https://mpe-ebook.benwallick.com/future-proof-mixing Connect with us: Secret Sonics - https://www.instagram.com/secretsonics Ben - https://www.instagram.com/benwallickmusic/ Carl - https://www.instagram.com/carlbahner/ Learn more: https://www.benwallick.com/ https://www.carlbahner.com/ This episode with edited by Gavi Kutliroff - https://www.instagram.com/pleasant_peasant_music/…

Two cranky engineers accidentally reveal why your technically perfect vocals sound emotionally dead In this episode, Ben and Carl dive into why the "mistakes" you're fixing might be the only thing keeping your vocals human. From pre-production psychology to multi-de-esser philosophy, they challenge everything you think you know about processing vocals. Discover: How over-rehearsed bands sabotage their own records (and why pop artists need completely different rules) Reading the room and matching your approach to the artist's psychology Why perfect tuning kills emotion and when to leave the "mistakes" in Why using multiple light processors beats one heavy one (and Carl's controversial multi-de-esser approach) How deliberately bad cuts make choruses hit like trucks Ben and Carl's Weekly Inspiration Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1IpnxDVoTY44JBV1j19H4h?si=0f80e020d8ae497e LA Wildfire Relief: Musicares - https://donor.musicares.org/page/lafirerelief WAMTN - https://give.wearemovingtheneedle.org/campaign/654724/donate Learn more about StudioLand - https://www.welcometostudioland.com/a/2147995182/bmyFf8p5 Download our free guide: "The Future-Proof Mixing Engineer: 8 Essential Skills for 2024 and Beyond" - https://mpe-ebook.benwallick.com/future-proof-mixing Connect with us: Secret Sonics - https://www.instagram.com/secretsonics Ben - https://www.instagram.com/benwallickmusic/ Carl - https://www.instagram.com/carlbahner/ Learn more: https://www.benwallick.com/ https://www.carlbahner.com/ This episode with edited by Gavi Kutliroff - https://www.instagram.com/pleasant_peasant_music/…

In this episode, Ben & Carl get into the gritty business of making bass actually work in a mix. Not just technically — but emotionally, musically, and physically. We challenge each other’s instincts, admit when we’re wrong, and debate who should own the sub: the bass or the kick? Spoiler: it depends — but we each have our go-to moves and a few spicy disagreements. Discover: Whether bass should be felt, heard… or both The kick vs. bass power struggle (and how we each resolve it) Why sub-bass and electric bass don’t always play nice Dynamic EQ, sidechaining, and the art of subtle carving What frequencies actually matter most for bass perception “I Used to Be Cool” — and other producer identity crises Ben and Carl's Weekly Inspiration Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1IpnxDVoTY44JBV1j19H4h?si=0f80e020d8ae497e LA Wildfire Relief: Musicares - https://donor.musicares.org/page/lafirerelief WAMTN - https://give.wearemovingtheneedle.org/campaign/654724/donate Learn more about StudioLand - https://www.welcometostudioland.com/a/2147995182/bmyFf8p5 Download our free guide: "The Future-Proof Mixing Engineer: 8 Essential Skills for 2024 and Beyond" - https://mpe-ebook.benwallick.com/future-proof-mixing Connect with us: Secret Sonics - https://www.instagram.com/secretsonics Ben - https://www.instagram.com/benwallickmusic/ Carl - https://www.instagram.com/carlbahner/ Learn more: https://www.benwallick.com/ https://www.carlbahner.com/ This episode with edited by Gavi Kutliroff - https://www.instagram.com/pleasant_peasant_music/…

We didn’t mean to go this deep—but here we are. This week, we cracked open the bass rabbit hole and just kept falling. What started as a casual chat about tracking techniques quickly turned into a full-on audio archaeology dig. Fingerstyle vs. pick. Flatwounds vs. roundwounds. Phase issues. Amp sims. DI regrets. When to tune your bass like it’s a vocal. And why the right bass might be a $300 violin-shaped Epiphone that makes your P-Bass sound like a string bean. This is Part 1. Next week, we’ll take all this nerdy goodness and show you how it interacts with everything else in the mix—drums, vocals, space, sub, punch, width, grit. Discover: Why we sometimes tune bass like it’s a vocal The $300 Epiphone that destroyed a Fender P-Bass in a shootout How adding chorus to bass can actually make it sound tighter The reason your 808s keep disappearing—and how to fix it Fingerstyle, pick, thumb, palm mute: how your hand technique makes the biggest difference Ben and Carl's Weekly Inspiration Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1IpnxDVoTY44JBV1j19H4h?si=0f80e020d8ae497e LA Wildfire Relief: Musicares - https://donor.musicares.org/page/lafirerelief WAMTN - https://give.wearemovingtheneedle.org/campaign/654724/donate Learn more about StudioLand - https://www.welcometostudioland.com/a/2147995182/bmyFf8p5 Download our free guide: "The Future-Proof Mixing Engineer: 8 Essential Skills for 2024 and Beyond" - https://mpe-ebook.benwallick.com/future-proof-mixing Connect with us: Secret Sonics - https://www.instagram.com/secretsonics Ben - https://www.instagram.com/benwallickmusic/ Carl - https://www.instagram.com/carlbahner/ Learn more: https://www.benwallick.com/ https://www.carlbahner.com/ This episode with edited by Gavi Kutliroff - https://www.instagram.com/pleasant_peasant_music/…

Think there's only one "right way" to record and mix drums? Think again. In this revealing episode, Ben and Carl dive deep into their completely opposite approaches to drum production. Despite working from opposite ends of the spectrum, they discover they're ultimately chasing the same emotional result. This conversation might just give you permission to try that "crazy" technique you've been hesitant to experiment with. Discover: Why conventional drum recording approaches might be limiting your creative options and sonic results The counterintuitive "songs for the deaf" method of tracking drums one element at a time (and why it creates more flexibility than traditional methods) How recording drums last (after vocals!) can dramatically improve how your drum parts support the song Why sympathetic snare vibrations are crucial for creating believable drum sounds The critical importance of phase alignment when layering kick drums and using samples Why cutting frequencies from sample drums often yields better results than boosting How focusing on kick and snare can free you from obsessing over every other element in the mix Ben and Carl's Weekly Inspiration Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1IpnxDVoTY44JBV1j19H4h?si=0f80e020d8ae497e References: dxRevive - https://www.accentize.com/dxrevive/ LA Wildfire Relief: Musicares - https://donor.musicares.org/page/lafirerelief WAMTN - https://give.wearemovingtheneedle.org/campaign/654724/donate Learn more about StudioLand - https://www.welcometostudioland.com/a/2147995182/bmyFf8p5 Download our free guide: "The Future-Proof Mixing Engineer: 8 Essential Skills for 2024 and Beyond" - https://mpe-ebook.benwallick.com/future-proof-mixing Connect with us: Secret Sonics - https://www.instagram.com/secretsonics Ben - https://www.instagram.com/benwallickmusic/ Carl - https://www.instagram.com/carlbahner/ Learn more: https://www.benwallick.com/ https://www.carlbahner.com/ This episode with edited by Gavi Kutliroff - https://www.instagram.com/pleasant_peasant_music/…

They explore how these living documents should evolve alongside your workflow, highlighting how small adjustments can lead to significant time savings and creative benefits. Discover: Why templates should evolve rather than remain static for years How to recognize when you're repeatedly making the same changes Why it's so easy to postpone template maintenance despite its benefits Finding balance between template efficiency and creative flexibility The dangers of adding new plugins to templates before properly evaluating them Specific examples of template updates they've found valuable in their own work Ben and Carl's Weekly Inspiration Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1IpnxDVoTY44JBV1j19H4h?si=0f80e020d8ae497e LA Wildfire Relief: Musicares - https://donor.musicares.org/page/lafirerelief WAMTN - https://give.wearemovingtheneedle.org/campaign/654724/donate Learn more about StudioLand - https://www.welcometostudioland.com/a/2147995182/bmyFf8p5 Download our free guide: "The Future-Proof Mixing Engineer: 8 Essential Skills for 2024 and Beyond" - https://mpe-ebook.benwallick.com/future-proof-mixing Connect with us: Secret Sonics - https://www.instagram.com/secretsonics Ben - https://www.instagram.com/benwallickmusic/ Carl - https://www.instagram.com/carlbahner/ Learn more: https://www.benwallick.com/ https://www.carlbahner.com/ This episode with edited by Gavi Kutliroff - https://www.instagram.com/pleasant_peasant_music/…

Raising your rates sounds simple… until you actually try to do it. In this special episode, Carl breaks down the real reasons studio pros avoid increasing their prices - and why most of those reasons are based on fear, not facts.

Through the story of an artist hesitant to perform her first solo show, they explore why we often wait for external validation before pursuing our goals – whether that's raising our rates, reaching out to dream clients, or sharing our creative work.

From Sufjan Stevens' state-themed albums to the natural evolution of decision-making throughout the production timeline, they reveal how limitations spark inspiration rather than stifle it.
