Bobby Owsinski's Inner Circle Podcast

Soundproof studio costs, common mistakes, and overlooked questions: acoustic designer Wilson Harwood tells musicians what building one actually takes.
An artist himself with a need for a personal studio, he first built his own 270-square-foot backyard studio in 2020. Wilson found he loved the work and the process, which eventually grew into a full design firm.

He explains why soundproofing and acoustic treatment are frequently confused, why mini-split air conditioners don't actually bring in needed fresh air, and why DIY builders routinely underestimate everything beyond the walls.

Michael Morgan, a Mixing Business Coach with a background in product development, research, and audio-industry brand work, joins Bobby Owsinski to explore why building a sustainable mixing career requires a clear business system, not just great technical skills or the latest marketing tactic.
He explains why mixers often struggle when they stop doing the activities that originally generated opportunities, and why experienced engineers need to keep adapting, maintain their relationships, and stay open to new ideas as the industry changes.
Michael breaks down his approach around clarity, growth, and delivery, showing how mindset, positioning, pricing, outreach, sales, client experience, retention, and persistence work together to create momentum. 
For mixers, producers, and other audio professionals trying to create more consistent careers, this episode offers a practical way to look beyond individual tactics and identify where the real gaps in their business may be.

Music producers and engineers navigating rapid changes in recording technology learn from veteran producer, engineer, and Grammy nominee Bruce Sugar why staying relevant means embracing new tools without sacrificing the feel and emotion that make music connect.

Bruce shares how a short engineering gig with Ringo Starr became a working relationship spanning more than two decades, how artists like Ringo and Joe Walsh balance feel with perfection, and how his own workflow has evolved from cutting tape to in-the-box production, Atmos mixing, and AI-assisted songwriting. 
He also reflects on working with Ozzy Osbourne, the fast-paced Nashville session culture that shaped his approach, and how AI is changing both the possibilities and value of music production.

Throughout the conversation, Bruce explains why engineers should avoid letting technical perfection get in the way of a great performance, keep sessions moving, and make technology serve the music rather than dominate it. 
Listeners will gain a veteran engineer's perspective on adapting to an evolving industry while preserving the human emotion at the heart of great records.
