How to Stay Productive During Studio Downtime

What should you be doing when the session calendar is quiet and the console isn’t lit up? In this insightful and entertaining episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody dive into 3 essential categories of activities to help you stay productive when you're not tracking, mixing, or mastering for the hottest band in town.

Whether you’re between big projects or facing a creative lull, this episode offers clear strategies to maximize your time — from refining your technical skills and organizing your gear to recharging your creative energy and building your business.

Expect smart suggestions like:

  • Creative ways to upgrade your mix templates
  • How to use reference listening for growth
  • Staying visible in your scene even when you're not booked
  • How rest is productive — if done right

Of course, there’s also the usual dose of lighthearted banter and studio nonsense, because taking yourself too seriously never helped anyone hit record.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or an aspiring audio ninja, you’ll walk away with actionable ideas to keep your momentum strong — even during the quiet spells.

Tune in to Inside the Recording Studio and learn how to make downtime work for you.
