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.

[@bryceh2585]

well if your not a metal core fan its harder to be a fan of his haha

[@Snipersounds]

".....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!!!!

[@33Oak]

you sir sure do pick the best people to interview. I mean any apprentice can stumble across this channel & be locked in for ever.

[@douglasdiaz9553]

Such a substantive interview with one of my favorite producers. I love these types of uploads, keep it up!

[@ageofprevolution]

Two of my favourite mixing engineers talking together. Priceless :)

[@offshot1st]

This is amazing. Really indepth and now I feel like I cant wait to do my next demo!

[@justingonzales250]

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!

[@shaneritter3223]

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...

[@AndyRicAudio]

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!

[@JanayeRoberson]

This interview was amazing. Definitely my favorite so far. Super excited about moving forward after this interview 😃👍🏾

[@rram992]

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

[@Leviibeats]

[@MattSaysSmile]

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.

[@JesSchwartz]

This is my absolute favorite video you'd done Graham (all you others are great too). \m/

[@RangeWilson]

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!

[@CapnnKrunch3]

Two of my favorite engineers in one place, great interview.

[@clintonmoniz]

[@spider7venstring]

[@tonynekrews]

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.

[@shaneritter3223]

Yep this is a good one Graham. Thanks for sharing!

[@DVTOM]

I realized after hearing Joey that I do a lot of stuff like he did/does...awesome! His plug ins are amazing.

[@louevilmetalhead]

fantastic interview. Helped put me in the right state of mind.

[@BlindFretstudio]

Excellent Gentlemen ! Thank You ! I do use and practice your advise and discover that I approach most of what you stated already ! Rock On !

[@mattypants2804]

Such a good interview. Being a self taught, DIY home studio musician this was very inspiring and motivating.

[@marckymark94]

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.

[@jkn928]

Thanks guys! Much gratitude!

[@thedrumengineer]

Wow, great stuff. Thanks Graham and Joey!

[@piltrafelia]

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)

[@thatguynamedfoote]

two of my favorite people in one video... yesssssss.

[@HzPjtvHYom4991]

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!!!

[@amiromar1502]

really amazing interview, thanks alot for sharing this

[@Tractionuk]

I am truly jealous that you got to talk with him. he's one of my idols.

[@Tractionuk]

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!

[@BrotherhoodWilliams]

Grant, you have a very acute methodology...thank you for being gold in an iron era

[@fadejmg]

So interesting, thanks Graham!

[@TheDementians]

[@RocknRollSocialClub]

[@lambchopsmtl]

This is so awesome!

[@JonCabrera]

Great content in this interview - Thanks for sharing!

[@Childhoof]

Wicked! LOVE Joey; his products & his tutorials!!

[@jonathanlinderer7271]

+Childhoof Yeah? How are his drum sample packs, have you tried them?

[@Childhoof]

+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.

[@ShallieDragon]

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.

[@isaiahsalas9760]

I've been waiting for this to happen for awhile now...FINALLY! lol

[@makesomebacon]

I'm distracted by how beautiful both the homes look

[@jrpjazz]

I love the way that there is no excuse to get the job done. Lack of equipment, no problem. Improvise!

[@nickbrucato2566]

TDWP is Joeys most iconic stuff in my opinion

[@anymonkeymusic4286]

That age old saying holds true in every aspect of life. " its not what ya got , it's how you use it"

[@KoolKatRecordingStudios]

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

[@utubehound69]

Thanks Graham.

[@jnezik1324]

Very interesting interview :)

[@scottbrownNZ]

man that was great.

[@mikehughes17]

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

[@michaelreaper666]

Awesome ...that's helped so much!!

[@IIMANIXII]

Just watching this is making me wanna start up studio one .... :)

[@americansecrets8164]

DUDE. Graham sports a mean Heisenberg-esque beard. no shave November should definitely be a part of his life for sure.

[@JesseWeimanMusic]

This is great thank you!

[@micahbrill]

Joey is the man!

[@luisesquijarosa9968]

Every now and then I pick up new techniques!

[@H270127]

"It all starts with my mission..." The guy is so damn right !

[@slim1275]

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.

[@bguitarmasta12]

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!

[@IIMANIXII]

i watched till the end thoe ... great stuff...

[@sivkokostov]

The Devil Wears Prada are playing today in Atlanta at the Masquarade its funny you mentioned them

[@micahobrien4801]

I have learn't so much in the last 24 hrs of knowing who this guy is.

[@MrOliverTube]

thnks for this...!!!

[@f0kxi]

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

[@f0kxi]

This interview is absolutely amazing

[@jaybrown1582]

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.

[@gimoon0125]

I'm a Huge fan of his sound
