#492 - Jens Bogren (Record Producer, Mixer, Recording Engineer)

On this week's MetalSucks Podcast, we've got Fascination Street
Studio Founder Jens Bogren on the show!  During our
discussion, we chat about his and Ihsahn’s course at URM Academy
“How It’s Done” available until July 12th, why he decided to put
together a step by step course, and how much of the actually course
was scripted. Of course, we had to have a deeper discussion about
his experience in the studio, so we asked him about things like:
when spending a lot of time on pre-production makes sense, what
it's like when bands enter the studio with “demo disease," and what
he feels are the most overused elements in demos. We also talked
about studio tech and the considerations that go along with it,
like what it takes to adapt modern technology in his studio, if he
has ever lost an entire song when a hard drive crashed, what he
feels can be the most tedious step in recording, and why capturing
clean singing in a metal band is vital to the song when needed.
