šŸ” My new plugin, the Smashburger Compressor, has a WIDER ATTACK/RELEASE RANGE than most FETs.

Smashburger delivers the fast, punchy sound of a classic FET compressor—the kind that makes drums explode and vocals leap out of the mix. But unlike the originals, it’s been expanded with a wider range of attack and release times, giving you even greater clarity, control, and mix glue without losing the vibe that makes FETs legendary.

Vintage punch meets modern control.

Jeff Kolhede is a producer, audio engineer, and artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Having participated in multiple Grammy-nominated records, he operates primarily out of 25th Street Recording, the SF Bay Area’s premier recording facility, where he helps emerging and established artists.

Jeff’s composing work for film and advertisements has been featured for leading brands, including the trailer music for the Academy Award-winning film, Moonlight. This led him to co-found Gooroo Music, a Bay Area music house, where he directs a team of award-winning composers, mix engineers, and sound designers for film and advertisements. Recent work includes Billie Eilish, Youtube, Faherty, and Adobe campaigns.

Alongside his producing and engineering work is Jeff Kolhede’s artist project. His self-recorded Dismantle LP was released on November 24, 2023. The SF Chronicle noted that ā€œThe gorgeous ā€˜Wonder Why’ calls to mind Nick Drake, with Kolhede’s vocals shining atop a layered string arrangement…there’s both retro-minded and contemporary folk moments within Kolhede’s notable first effort.ā€ This same single wonder why was featured on the Spotify official Fresh Finds folk playlist. Bandcamp included the full album on their new and notable feature. His influences range from rock, singer-songwriter, indie, soul, and jazz with genres being defied by melodies, introspective lyricism, and his primary instruments; the sax and voice.

Jeff Kolhede remains committed to making a positive, creative, and inclusive impact by way of music and kindness.

Angel Marcloid is a fearless, genre-melting musician, producer, and mixing/mastering engineer based outside Chicago, IL. She creates under a broad constellation of aliases, with Fire-Toolz as her flagship solo project and No Joy as her most recent collaborative venture.
Angel Hair Audio is her full-service audio production studio for artists whose work already leans leftfield or quietly wants to. She draws from a lifetime of listening, learning, and restless experimentation, carrying a huge musical vocabulary that reaches from her formative years immersed in AOR, prog, jazz fusion, and metal to the noise, industrial, grind, post-punk, krautrock, ambient, hardcore, and early-wave emo that shaped her adolescence.
Angel’s approach blends traditional technique informed by legendary engineers with contemporary and boundary-pushing production practices. She finds the emotional pressure points of a piece, then uncovers or amplifies what makes it distinctive, and sculpts it to be a worthy vehicle for an impassioned voice that deserves to be heard and felt.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

- Connecting with your community
- Respecting the vibe of a song
- Translation issues with mixes
- Creating focus in a mix
- Rules meant to be followed and broken
- Why simplicity isn’t always a good thing
- Creating width without stereo wideners
- Focusing on individual instruments vs as a whole
- Creating a hierarchy within your mixes
