PART ONE | Background | Path to JLM | Working with clients | The credits of Grammy-nominated mastering engineer Joe Lambert read like a who's-who of artists from the last 20 years, including many landmark albums that defined the "Brooklyn Sound" of the mid-to-late 2000's: Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Dirty Projectors, The Fiery Furnaces, The National, etc. In all, he's worked with countless artists across all genres while employing a "client first" ethos that is evident when one first walks through the doors of his Jersey City, NJ studio. While being a master at his craft, staying one step ahead of shifts in the music industry has allowed him to build his impressive resumé and studio business. In this episode we discuss his background in music, starting as a guitarist and song-writer in bands in his native Buffalo, NY, to the chance encounter that set him on his path to becoming an in-demand engineer in New York (with the many bumps and twists along the way). Joe shares a lot of valuable insights into the mindset and discipline it takes to be a "top-of-your-game" professional in the music industry.

In the age of streaming audio, @josephbranciforte is bucking the trend by starting @greyfade_label - a boutique purveyor of niche music that is only available on vinyl and high resolution digital. • What type of vision and dedication does it take to forge this path in the modern #musicbusiness landscape?

Too often we thinking of mixing as a series of technical decisions: how to EQ the kick drum, how much compression on the vocal, etc. Not @josephbranciforte - his approach shadows the “old school” era of analog consoles where fader rides were performed by the engineer(s). Check out #studiohang Episode 6 to learn about his hybrid workflow of incorporating analog gear into digital audio sessions, as well as an approach to mixing as part of the musical performance. • 📺 Link in @redpandarecording profile • 🎬 @ryanmackstaller 🎥 @mikebryknyc 🎤 @theobleckmann • #audioengineer #audioproduction #mixengineer #mixing #analoggear #musicproduction #musicproducer #recordingengineer #recordingstudio #studiogear #studiotour #greyfade #redpandarecording
