|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6/4/26 | Are You Ruining Your Own Mix? | Most beginner and intermediate mixers make the same mistake: they rush through the most important step of mixing to start "mixing." In this episode, I break down the three mindset shifts that will immediately improve your mixes: why your static mix IS the mix, why keeping moves that aren't working is silently ruining your sound, and why detaching from the results is the fastest path to getting better ones. --------------------------------------------------------------- ‼️Download my FREE 6-step Checklist to a PRO Mix: https://www.thebandguide.com/promixchecklist In-Depth Mixing Tutorial: https://youtu.be/jSFF8fotNhA --------------------------------------------------------------- Headphones I LOVE: 🎧 Beyerdynamic DT770: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AWQJgj | 15m 19s | ||||||
| 5/7/26 | Mixing Myth: You Need Analog Gear | I spent years believing that analog gear was the missing piece — that if I could just get my hands on the right console, the right compressor, the right preamp, everything would click. Today I want to break down why that's a myth, what's actually true about analog gear, and the sneaky psychological reasons people who use it sometimes get better results. Spoiler: you can get all of that without spending a cent on gear. --------------------------------------------------------------- Next Level Mastering Challenge: https://www.thebandguide.com/masteringchallenge ‼️Download my FREE 6-step Checklist to a PRO Mix: https://www.thebandguide.com/promixchecklist --------------------------------------------------------------- Headphones I LOVE: 🎧 Beyerdynamic DT770: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AWQJgj | 17m 26s | ||||||
| 4/30/26 | What I Got Wrong About Mastering | I used to think mastering was a "dark art." Something mysterious that must be done by someone with ears that I'll never have. Today I want to break down why that belief held me back for years, and what changed when I stopped separating mastering from the rest of the production process. Spoiler: it's basically three things, and working through them will improve your mixes too. --------------------------------------------------------------- ‼️Download my FREE 6-step Checklist to a PRO Mix: https://www.thebandguide.com/promixchecklist --------------------------------------------------------------- Headphones I LOVE: 🎧 Beyerdynamic DT770: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AWQJgj | 11m 45s | ||||||
| 4/9/26 | Mixing Myth: You Need "Flat" Speakers | Most home studio musicians believe they need flat speakers to get a professional mix... and it's completely understandable why. Today I want to break down why that's actually a myth, why your ears and your room make "flat" more complicated than it sounds, and why learning your own system will get you better results faster than chasing the "perfect" monitor setup. --------------------------------------------------------------- ‼️Download my FREE 6-step Checklist to a PRO Mix: https://www.thebandguide.com/promixchecklist In-Depth Mixing Tutorial: https://youtu.be/jSFF8fotNhA --------------------------------------------------------------- Headphones I LOVE: 🎧 Beyerdynamic DT770: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AWQJgj | 12m 13s | ||||||
| 4/2/26 | My 20 Year Journey: From Terrible Demos to The Band Guide | I realized the other day that you likely don't know my full story. My early pop punk days, recording my band through a headphone jack all the way to recording in pro studios. All of that has shaped me and forms who I am as "The Band Guide." Today I want to tell you the whole journey along with the lessons that will help you in your home studio. --------------------------------------------------------------- ‼️Download my FREE 6-step Checklist to a PRO Mix: https://www.thebandguide.com/promixchecklist In-Depth Mixing Tutorial: https://youtu.be/jSFF8fotNhA --------------------------------------------------------------- Headphones I LOVE: 🎧 Beyerdynamic DT770: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AWQJgj | 25m 50s | ||||||
| 1/22/26 | Why You Never Finish Songs (And How to Fix It) | If you want your music to actually improve, you have to finish more of it — not just start ideas or endlessly tweak the same song. In this episode, we talk about why perfectionism and self-doubt keep musicians stuck, how resistance shows up right when you’re close to done, and why having simple systems and real deadlines is the key to finishing more music and getting better in the process.

| 1/15/26 | Apple Creator Studio: Is Logic Pro Moving Toward a Subscription-Only Future? | Apple just made a huge move: they’ve rolled out a Creator Studio subscription that includes Logic Pro. If you’re a Logic user, you might be wondering if this is the first step toward forcing everyone into subscriptions. Apple says your perpetual license is safe for now, but is that true for the long term? Let’s talk about what might be coming up… **This is an updated episode. In the original version, I misinterpreted Apple’s decision to gate AI features for Pages, Keynote, Numbers, and Freeform as meaning all new AI features would require the Creator Studio subscription. That is not the case— at present, Logic Pro is identical whether you have a perpetual license or the Creator Studio subscription. --------------------------------------------------------------- ‼️Download my FREE 6-step Checklist to a PRO Mix: https://www.thebandguide.com/promixchecklist In-Depth Mixing Tutorial: https://youtu.be/jSFF8fotNhA --------------------------------------------------------------- Headphones I LOVE: 🎧 Beyerdynamic DT770: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/AWQJgj | 10m 14s | ||||||
