Welcome to the first interview episode of Secret Sonics 2.0! We're kicking off our revamped format with a bang, pulling back the curtain on the art and science of live band recording with engineer extraordinaire Nick Nagurka.
Known for his work with Theo Katzman and Vulfpeck, Nick brings a fresh perspective to the age-old challenge of capturing lightning in a bottle.
Nick's approach turns conventional wisdom on its head, embracing the chaos of bleed and prioritizing the vibe over technical perfection. He shares his unique methods for achieving that elusive "band in a room" sound, from unconventional mic placements to the strategic use of cutting-edge technology.
This episode is a masterclass in balancing old-school techniques with modern tools, demonstrating how to capture the raw energy of a live performance while maintaining the polish expected in professional recordings. Whether you're a bedroom producer or a seasoned studio vet, Nick's insights will challenge your assumptions and inspire you to push the boundaries of your craft.
