You can have the best studio gear, but if you can’t handle artists, you might as well be recording air. In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris & Jody turn the faders down on gear talk and crank up the discussion on people management—because the biggest noise in the studio isn’t feedback…it’s ego.
From the control freak who wants to tweak every EQ band to the “just tell me when it’s done” type who ghosts halfway through the mix, our hosts dissect the psychological minefield of modern recording. Expect stories, sarcasm, and a few too-relatable moments for anyone who’s ever had to smile through the fifteenth vocal take “just to be safe.”
You’ll get smart recording setup tips to diffuse tension before it ruins your vibe, plus learn how to assert your producer instincts without flipping the studio couch. Chris & Jody even share their secret methods for reading body language faster than your DAW loads plugins.
Stick around for this week’s Friday Finds, because there’s something free—and time-sensitive—you don’t want to miss.
So grab your coffee, mute that talkback mic, and prepare for a crash course in studio survival psychology. This one’s for the engineers who mix music and emotions.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
