Ek began his career in Seattle, Washington in the early 1990s recording live sound in clubs. He then moved into studio recording, recording small projects and demos for local bands. Around this time, Ek was frequently working with influential producer Jack Endino. Producing Built to Spill's second album, There's Nothing Wrong with Love, proved to be Ek's mainstream breakthrough (the album has since ranked in the Top Ten of Spin Magazine's top indie records of all time). Phil Ek has worked with such indie rock bands as Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, Modest Mouse, The Shins, Built to Spill, Duster, 764-HERO, Big Business and Mudhoney.\nIN THIS EPISODE, YOU\u2019LL LEARN ABOUT:\nWorking in Seattle during the 90\u2019s\nPrioritizing instruments when recording\nThe legacy of Build To Spill\u2019s \u201cThere\u2019s Nothing Wrong With Love\u201d\nOverdubbing vs. recording live off the floor\nGetting the right scratch tracks in order to capture the true energy of a song\nEditing for feel vs perfection\nShould you track with or without reverb?\nSetting up room mics for options\nHow to make reverb sound big but without being muddy\nCreating a 3D sound\nTo learn more about Phil Ek, visit: https://philek.com/\nFor tips on how to improve your mixes, visit https://masteryourmix.com/\nGet your copy of The Recording Mindset: A Step-By-Step Guide To Creating Pro Recordings From Your Home Studio by visiting: https://therecordingmindset.com\nLooking for 1-on-1 feedback and training to help you create pro-quality mixes?
