tbh, i´m not a big fan of the "Joey Sturgis sound", if you wanna call it that. but his success is not without reason and hearing about his approach is awesome. very good interview. the right questions with helpful answers.
".....You'll be motivated to actually get out there and start making music, instead of making excuses!" YES!!!! That is why I had to watch the whole interview!!!!
Two of my favorite mixing engineers! I've literally learned SO much from the both of you. I've definitely seen a major improvement on my mixes by following Grahams methods and Joey works on music that I love so his tips give me that extra push to the direction that I want to go . Keep doing your thing guys! You guys are amazing at what you do and I'm so glad I stumbled upon your work. Without you guys I never would have realized that I would be able to produce listenable tracks with the small amount of tools that I have. Thank you for sharing guys!
Loved this. I'm studying audio right now and can really identify with staying in touch with the idea and "missing the forrest for the trees". Thanks Graham and Joey, just what I needed!
Joey to me it seems like, it wasn't so much luck as it was your committment, diligence, no fear and a genuine love of music that propelled your career. Well done man!!! That's an awesome story...
This made my night , thanks to you and joey for doing this interview . And the facts you show that anyone can do amazing things if there is passion behind. Greetings from Venezuela!
Outstanding interview, tons of solid advice from two guys who have made their own way. It's also very nice to see you continuing to build your own network of like-minded people!
Joey is the reason I started taking recording even more seriously than I did then. His story is truly inspiring to me. Even though I am a student in college majoring in this field, watching this interview inspires me to continue striving to reach my goals. Definitely my all time favorite producer
Such a damn good interview. Just no bs telling it how it is with great lessons and advice people can actually take away. I love how good of a listener the interviewer is as well. Great questions and discussions in this!
Awesome Video. Loved it. And Happy Birthday Joey. Todays Your 31st Birthday I see from researching Your Profile online Happy Birthday & Many More. Thanks Graham & Joey fro the encouragement. Congrats Joey & Happy New Year to both of You & also Many More. God Bless You & Yours, Guys :)
Very inspiring interview, loved the part when Joey mentioned layering being just like photoshop because that's word for word how I describe music, it's very nice to hear someone else say the same thing.....cheers to you both.
mind opening interview... i'm so glad to hear all of what you guys are talking about here, because i'm exactly on the same situation, where i just feel the need to record and produce music, so i've been roughly 3 months on this.. BEST advise ever is to just go with what sounds right, and don't stick to the technical side of it (not too much)
Finally my following of the Recording Revolutions has paid off.. hahaha! Joey is my main inspiration so seeing him on here makes me so happy! Thanks Gram!
I can't agree more like the rest, I really wish I watched this ages ago. Definitely helped me think more into arrangements and sound itself. Thank you Graham and thank you Joey, keep up the amazing work. The advice definitely improved my direction, and my passion for making music as well as being an active musician.
Just bought a couple of JST plugs and thought I’d check out the man himself. What an inspiring story it turned out to be. Great interview too, thanks to the both of you.
Such an awesome, inspiring story. This is why I love music so much and find that it is an amazing outlet for creativity, connecting, and making music that moves people. I love the nomadic approach to music, which he so nicely embodies. I never took guitar lessons and are grateful for that fact. It is all about the journey of discovery. Not to say that anyone else's experience with learning is any less important, this is just what worked for me. Amazing story!!!
I was kind of put off by some of his choices in his CreativeLive class, but after seeing this, I have a lot more respect for Joey Sturgis. He's a great example of a successful producer who hasn't spent a ton of money on gear, and instead focused on what really mattered: learning the craft, and developing good taste. He's an artist first and foremost, and I really appreciate that. Thanks for doing this interview, Graham.
Really great thank you :) I've been making EDM for ages and am finally getting some recognition for it and iv just started a band with some friends called 'Silence From The Fallen' and I recorded and mixed/mastered our first single that is out now and called 'Resurrect Me' would be great if you could possibly check it out and give some feedback? Thank You!
+Jonathan Linderer I haven't, but I just bought his Drumforge Essentials - haven't installed yet, but sounds like it could give Toontrack's Ez Drummer a run for it's money.
I did go to your website and checked it all out. I especially Really liked Your GR (Gain Reduction) it sounded really good on those womens vocals. Awesome! And I really Dig Your Artwork on Your Plug-Ins . Thanks :) I also already got done checkin out CREATIVE LIVE. I also "Followed" on Twitter & Facebook both Of You Guys & Creative Live
Hey. What's up bro? First of all, I'd like to thank you for your passion to see others flourish in their gifts and talents. It is truly a blessing. I was wondering if you could give me some advice. What is the best way to hear yourself in the headphones without coming in too hot vocally? Do you want to keep the DAW track volume low, interface gain higher, or make use of compressor (gains)? I do Hip Hop, and I am looking to ensure that our vocals are coming in with maximum quality. Thanks bro.PROfoundArtist/EngineerGreenville, S.C.
Super fantastic interview. I am in a similar state as when Joey started. Music-centric, not money-centric. Put the music first, and the money will follow.
This is awesome! Joey is a huge inspiration . If some how you could get an interview with Adam D of Killswitch Engage on his story and approach that would be sick!
So full of truth chills =) Im pretty sure this style of music also influenced what would become the EDM explosion in 2010. At least for me and my peers, we all evolved into EDM after metalcore because a lot of metalcore was made in the box, it just seemed like a natural progression. I actually wrote a metalcore ep with 2 friends on a laptop using midi guitars and drums, we brought that ep to a studio, resampled the drums, tracked real guitars and released it commercially
His explanation on the DADADA dada DADADA da da reminded me of O.G. Loco breakdown from Of Mice & Men this opened my mind I never thought of that but I love that idea
Dear Graham, I love your videos and the work you do for the recording community. I also realize this is a little bit older video... That said, PLEASE put the drink down!!! At the least, cut the audio when you are taking a sip!!! 😉 Once again, thanks for all the work! Please let that be the emphasis of this comment!!!
So if he's going in later and layering extra drum hits and manually accenting guitar hits with automation and layering extra drum tracks in... How do they make it sound like that when they go to play live. I'm guessing they have to learn to play it that way and play the accents ???

Wicked! LOVE Joey; his products & his tutorials!!
+Childhoof Yeah? How are his drum sample packs, have you tried them?
+Jonathan Linderer I haven't, but I just bought his Drumforge Essentials - haven't installed yet, but sounds like it could give Toontrack's Ez Drummer a run for it's money.
So interesting, thanks Graham!

Joey is the man!
Thanks Graham.
This is great thank you!
I love the way that there is no excuse to get the job done. Lack of equipment, no problem. Improvise!
Very interesting interview :)
man that was great.
Super fantastic interview. I am in a similar state as when Joey started. Music-centric, not money-centric. Put the music first, and the money will follow.

This interview is absolutely amazing
DUDE. Graham sports a mean Heisenberg-esque beard. no shave November should definitely be a part of his life for sure.
His explanation on the DADADA dada DADADA da da reminded me of O.G. Loco breakdown from Of Mice & Men this opened my mind I never thought of that but I love that idea
That age old saying holds true in every aspect of life. " its not what ya got , it's how you use it"
TDWP is Joeys most iconic stuff in my opinion
if i choose to use a usb condenser microphone is an audio interface needed?
Dear Graham,
I love your videos and the work you do for the recording community. I also realize this is a little bit older video...
That said, PLEASE put the drink down!!! At the least, cut the audio when you are taking a sip!!! 😉
Once again, thanks for all the work! Please let that be the emphasis of this comment!!!
Just watching this is making me wanna start up studio one .... :)
Does anyone have the demo of Joey's band that he mentions at 11 minutes??
I have learn't so much in the last 24 hrs of knowing who this guy is.
So if he's going in later and layering extra drum hits and manually accenting guitar hits with automation and layering extra drum tracks in... How do they make it sound like that when they go to play live.
I'm guessing they have to learn to play it that way and play the accents ???
Where can we find all of these old demos that Joey recorded??? Still on myspace?
Does anybody know if he'd started using a click track by the time he produced TDWP's plagues?
