Everyone listening, if they were to go and listen to their top 10 favorite modern records,

I guarantee you, you are not going to hear out of time drums, you're not going to hear

out of tune guitars, you're not going to hear mistakes. Things are done properly. Probably the

turning point, it was when I got serious about solving performance problems and at the tracking stage,

not accepting something that didn't sound

right. Just keep going until we get it as good as it can possibly be.

Welcome to recording studio rock stars. I'm Lid Shaw, and this is the podcast created to help you become a rock star of the recording studio.

Hey, Rockstars, it's your host, Lid Shaw, and welcome back to Recording Studio Rockstars, bringing you into the studio to meet with recording professionals, to hear their stories and learn from their experiences so that you can make your best record ever and be a rock star of the studio yourself.

My guest today for this bonus episode on the podcast is Jordan Valeriat, who's also been a previous guest in episode 60.

Jordan is an independent producer, mixer, and engineer based out of Ontario, Canada,

specializing in hardcore music.

Jordan has fast-tracked his decade-plus career from studio assistant working with bands like

Usher, Timbaland, Serena Ryder, and the Jonas Brothers, to successful major label producer for bands like Silverstein, Antimacy, The Dead and Divine, and profits for the counterparts, to name just a few of the many bands he's worked with.

Jordan is also an educator and the founder of Hardcore Music Studio, helping to transform students around the world from home studio hobbyists to top-tier rock and heavy music producers.

He's helped thousands of music producers learn how to produce powerful rock records and build successful careers from their music studios.

In this episode, Jordan is going to show us how to go from charging $100 to $1,000 a song as a full-stack producer

while understanding the four key ingredients for how to capture raw tracks in your studio that

sound better than most people's final mixes. So whether you've been wanting to take your studio

from hobby to pro or just make sure that your

records sound like a pro, then you're going to love this episode, especially if you want to rock.

And as a heads up, Rockstars, everything that Jordan and I are going to talk about on this podcast,

he has got a free download for you at rs rockstars.com slash full stack.
