We’re excited to announce our partnership with CMJ to present Studio Time during the CMJ 2010 Music Marathon.

Register for CMJ and come to Studio Time, October 22!

On Friday, October 22 at NYU’s Kimmel Center, we will be producing a unique two-part panel series, providing emerging artists, engineers and producers with recording and mixing insights and inspiration from expert music creators. Check it out:

Part I (12:30 – 2:30): Mix Reconstruction
Three top mixers take you through their personal mixing process, explaining how they approached and ultimately mixed a song from their discography, playing pre- and post-mix examples to illustrate how they work. Basic techniques and creative solutions will all be examined in this illuminating event.

Featured mixers include:

Nicolas Vernhes, of Rare Book Room Studios in Brooklyn, who in the last year has mixed Dirty Projectors’ Bitte Orca and Dirty Projectors & Bjork’s Mount Wittenberg Orca, Spoon’s Transference, Small Black’s New Chain, Versus’ On The Ones and Threes, and Animal Collective’s Oddsac movie, among other projects;

Jason Goldstein, a Grammy-winning mixer most recently known for his work with The Roots (How I Got Over), Beyonce (B-Day) and Bilal (Airtight’s Revenge), Jill Scott (“Hate on Me”) and Ludacris (“One More Drink”); and…

Shane Stoneback, of SMT and Treefort Studios, who has recently engineered and mixed records for Vampire Weekend (Vampire Weekend, Contra), Sleigh Bells (Treats) and Magic Kids (Memphis).

Part II (2:45 – 4:45): Rough to Refined: Exploring Recording from Demo to the Finished Product:
In this lively forum, artists and their producers appear together to play rough demos for the audience, explaining how their complex collaborations resulted in the final, polished song that ultimately made it onto their album. Professional workflow concepts and the creative possibilities between producers and artists will come to light in this inside look at modern music production.

The featured guests will be the following producers and artists:

Producer/engineer Jim Keller (Franz Ferdinand, Demander, The Cribs) with artist Franz Nicolay talking about Nicolay’s upcoming album, Luck & Courage.

Producer/engineer Phil Palazzolo (New Pornographers, AC Newman, Okkervil River) and artist Nicole Atkins discussing Atkins’ album — Mondo Amore — due out in January ’11.

Producer/engineer Chris Zane (Passion Pit, The Walkmen, Suckers) with guitarist Seth Jabour of Les Savy Fav talking Root For Ruin, the band’s latest album on Frenchkiss Records.
