Episode show notes:

Mario Radetzky is the vocalist and guitar player for Alt-Rock band Blackout Problems and he recently co-produced their forthcoming album "Riot".  PRE-ORDER HERE

In our 200th episode Mario tells us the story of how co-producing Blackout Problems' album came about. From getting the green light from the label to assembling the perfect team for the job. 

 

Dropping your ego is important when in the studio and Mario shares with us the importance of collaborating with other engineers even asking other producers for advice when unsure.

 

Blackout Problems are an evolutionary band and changing the band's sound is a daunting prospect when it ultimately leads to losing a few fans, but also gaining some new ones. 

 

Due to their intricate setup of synths and effects, as well as the traditional band setup, Malcom, Benedikt and Mario discuss the usefulness of possibly incorporating Ableton in to live Blackout Problems' live setup.

 

Mario also shares his appreciation for The Self Recording Band Podcast and tells us what gear he uses to achieve Blackout Problems' unique sound. 

 

Let's give a warm community welcome to Blackout Problems' very own Mario Radetzky. 👏👏👏
