Jordon Beal is a songwriter, producer, and engineer based in Chicago, IL. He made the leap into audio full-time in 2010 after working with legendary producer Sylvia Massy on a series of singles with his former band. Although his position in the band was uncertain, the studio experience sparked a deeper passion—he realized he felt far more fulfilled behind the glass than on stage. That moment became the catalyst for his career in audio.Since then, Jordon has built an impressive portfolio, working on records for artists such as Intervals (including their Juno Award-winning album), Silverstein, The Devil Wears Prada, Architects, Conquer Divide, Veil of Maya, Divide The Fall, Cane Hill, Janus, and LIMBS. His behind-the-scenes collaborations have also connected him with top-tier producers and engineers, including Sam Guaiana, Adam “Nolly” Getgood, Joey Sturgis, Sylvia Massy, and Phil Pluskota. In addition to production, he’s carved out a niche in editing and session prep work—an area that now makes up a significant portion of his schedule and showcases his precision and attention to detail.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:Working with Sylvia Massy as an artistHow to eliminate “red-light syndrome”Going with your gut instinctRecording keeper takes while writing songsMaking moves with intentAdjusting your processes to fit the artist’s preferencesWhy double tracking with the same guitar can be problematicThe secret to getting your guitars to sound massiveWhy good editing starts at the tracking stageEditing guitars: Where you should make your cuts if you want the best soundThe pros and cons of time-stretchingUsing different time-stretching algorithmsUsing drum trigger spikes: Why they’re so helpful Using Soundflow to save time and work efficientlyTo learn more about Jordon Beal, visit: https://www.facebook.com/jordon.poppLooking for 1-on-1 feedback and training to help you create pro-quality mixes?Check out my coaching program Amplitude and apply to join:https://masteryourmix.com/amplitude/ Want additional help with your music productions?For tips on how to improve your mixes, visit: https://masteryourmix.com/ Download your FREE copy of the Ultimate Mixing Blueprint: https://masteryourmix.com/blueprint/ Get your copy of my Amazon #1 bestselling books:The Recording Mindset: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Pro Recordings From Your Home Studio: https://therecordingmindset.com The Mixing Mindset: The Step-By-Step Formula For Creating Professional Rock Mixes From Your Home Studio: https://masteryourmix.com/mixingmindsetbook/ Check out our Sponsors:Download Waves Plugins here: https://waves.alzt.net/EK3G2K Subscribe to the show:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/master-your-mix-podcast/id1240842781 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5V4xtrWSnpA5e9L67QcJej Youtube:
