Today’s guest is music producer, engineer, mixer, and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Lappin.  Andrew prides himself on helping artists push boundaries while staying true to themselves.  He’s doing that with a mix of  major label and independent artists such as L’Rain, Chromeo, Big Red Machine, and STACEY.  In addition to that he also composes and produces music for television, film, and radio.  We chat about transcending commitment anxiety, creating contrast both musically and sonically, drum recording techniques that will inspire the player, and why it’s as important to know what you want to do as it is to know what you don’t want to do.In this episode we'll dig in on...Making records always takes compromiseChallenging people with out disempowering themUnderstanding when to interject into a performance or idea and when to notBeing BoldFilling in frequency gaps with different fidelity micsWorking in studios with a historic legacyThe limiter arms raceSharing a studio space at Sunset Sound with Joe ChiccarelliKeeping perspective on projects that you producer, engineer, and mixNot waiting too long to release your musicComparison is the root of all disenchantmentBeing your own biggest criticThe lyric and intent of the song always guides productionFinding a friend you can trust to get you HONEST feedbackMentioned in the Show:L'Rain "Fatigue" - ListenAndrew Bird "Are You Serious" - ListenAltec Salt Shaker MicRoland Space EchoJoe ChiccarelliChris ZaneTravis' Intro:  The 85% RuleLearn More About Andrew Lappin...Website: https://www.andrewlappin.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewlappin/📢 Our Sponsors 📢Check out oeksound.
