What if the biggest roadblock in music licensing wasn’t legal complexity, but outdated systems? In this episode of Bobby Owsinski’s Inner Circle, we dive deep into the wild world of music rights with Grayson Sanders, CEO of Chordal. A former film composer turned tech founder, Grayson reveals how his sync clearing platform is transforming the way music gets licensed, making it faster, easier, and smarter.

That's the piece that is maybe expanding the pie.” 00:07:36. “This technology can come in here and do the work of potentially hundreds of clearance people.” 00:10:25. “Sync is so dynamic and nuanced... you're pairing one piece of art with another.” 00:13:29. “TikTok had been experiencing a lot of infringement on their platform.” 00:19:07. “It's going to actually add more value to authentic, artist-produced music.” 00:32:09. “You look back and you realize you're already halfway up that hill.” Explore The Mixing Engineer’s Handbook (6th Edition), the go-to guide for modern mixing: https://a.co/d/eEEpPrL This edition adds chapters on intelligent processor plugins, saturation and distortion, and mixing in small studios.

	How Independent Artists Can Maximize Merch Profits Without Overspending \| Bobby Owsinski's Inner Circle Ep. 594	14 Oct 2025	00:27:26
How do you build merch that actually connects with fans? In this episode of Bobby Owsinski’s Inner Circle, I sit down with Seamus Menihane, CEO of Armada, a top-tier merch company helping artists, from indies to heavy hitters, turn merch into a true brand extension. If you've ever wondered what merch sells best, how to price it, or how to avoid costly mistakes, Seamus breaks it all down. With his roots as a touring drummer and years running Downright Merch, he’s built Armada into a full-scale merch partner that delivers everything from screen printing to full e-commerce. This is your inside look at what works, what flops, and how artists can take control of their merch game. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Keep your merch line small and focused • Over-ordering too many products hurts profitability • Best-selling item is still the black t-shirt • Vinyl reissues and preorders perform extremely well • Indie artists need to think beyond just screen printing • Custom apparel adds premium pricing but costs more to produce • Merchandise profit margins depend on volume • E-commerce is essential for indie artist success • Print-on-demand is a smart test tool for new ideas • Merch advances are real, but mostly for high-end artists BEST MOMENTS 00:01:05. “Armada is a result of a recent merger between Downright Merch and Overcast Merch.” 00:02:12. “We lead first with the direct to consumer side of the business.” 00:03:25. “We proactively put designs in front of them.” 00:04:16. “I would go on tour and come back and I would work at a screen printing shop.” 00:10:28. “You can’t go wrong with a black t-shirt.” 00:12:06. “Custom apparel that we design definitely sells at a premium.” 00:14:52. “The kids just aren’t drinking anymore.” 00:26:01. “Consistency day in and day out… that’s crucial for any endeavor.” Thank you for tuning in to Bobby Owsinski’s Inner Circle, the podcast that takes you deep inside the music industry.

How Mark Wood Reinvented the Violin and Inspired a Generation On this episode of Bobby Owsinski’s Inner Circle, I’m joined by recording artist, performer, inventor, Emmy-winning composer, and music education advocate Mark Wood. Known as the original string master of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Mark shares how he revolutionized the world of string instruments with his electric violin designs and helped ignite a movement in music education with his Electrify Your Symphony program. We explore the intersection of classical training and rock performance, the birth of his iconic Viper violin, and the entrepreneurial drive that’s powered his decades-long career. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Music is essential for emotional and creative development • The violin remained unchanged for over 500 years before Mark’s innovations • Inspiration came from Hendrix, Van Halen, and his own woodworking family • The invention of the self-supporting electric violin changed live performance • Amplifying bowed instruments requires entirely different tech than guitars • Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s early days started with skepticism and QVC • Electrify Your Symphony has reached over a million students in 28 years • Entrepreneurship is essential for modern musicians • Juilliard experience shaped his approach, even after leaving • Self-made artists must think like business owners, not just performers BEST MOMENTS: 00:02:09. “You might or may not be able to name any other violin maker except Stradivarius.” 00:05:33. “As a 15 year old I was mentored by Leonard Bernstein.” 00:07:13. “What are you going to do with your life? And I said, I want to be a rock violin player.” 00:10:27. “So it's a violin with a hand, right? Carved exactly like it in my hand.” 00:13:29. “With a bow, I'm able to get that sustain the guitar players always are trying to get.” 00:18:09. “We're putting together a rock orchestra. Awesome. And we want you to be the orchestra.” 00:21:00. “A teacher after that came up to me. Mark, can you put together a Trans-Siberian orchestra at our school?” 00:38:22. “Stoicism and real focus on making sure that you're in control of how you respond to the world.” Explore The Mixing Engineer’s Handbook (6th Edition), the go-to guide for modern mixing: https://bobbyowsinski.com/ Thank you for tuning in to Bobby Owsinski’s Inner Circle, the podcast that takes you deep inside the music industry.

	Episode 578 - Music Collaboration With Dominic Castro and Gary Lux of SyncDNA	24 Jun 2025	00:33:39
Online music collaboration is for many the holy grail for efficiently working in a home studio. The problem is that most tools that are available suffer from latency that makes true collaboration impossible. SyncDNA is the first online platform that allows frame-accurate synchronization of collaborators anywhere in the world. Co-founders Dominic Castro and Gary Lux joined me to discuss SyncDNA and how it’s been helping mixers, musicians, composers, directors and producers do their jobs more easily. Dominic and Gary are not tech guys trying to adapt to the music business, by the way. Dominic is a music producer, mixer, and sound editor with an impressive list of mixing credits for artists like Halsey, Jay-Z, Shawn Mendes, Universal Pictures, Netflix, Amazon, and many more. Gary is a prominent Hollywood music mixer with a wide range of credits that includes artists like Usher, Keith Urban, Sting, and Janet Jackson among many others.

	Episode 576 - Buzz Me In: Inside The Record Plant Studios	10 Jun 2025	01:04:04
I read a lot of music biographies and history books, especially from the Rock era. Like most people, I love reading about the story behind the hits. The best book I’ve ever read about that era is Buzz Me In: Inside The Record Plant Studios. The Record Plant was co-founded by engineer Gary Kellgrin and businessman Chris Stone, and it’s three studios in New York City, Los Angeles, and Sausalito, plus a fleet of remote trucks, were ground zero for the music business from the 1960s through the 80s. In fact, in 1976 alone, three #1 albums―Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key Of Life, the Eagles' Hotel California, and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours―were all recorded in Record Plant studios. The studio was also the center for audio innovation, thanks to the involvement of speaker and studio designer Tom Hidley, who recently passed. Buzz Me In was written by two great friends of mine, Marty Porter and David “Mr. Bonzai” Goggin. Marty is an author, journalist and publisher who began his career as a technology writer for Rolling Stone, GQ and Premiere magazines, then became editor and publisher of recording and musical instrument publications Pro Sound News, EQ, Guitar Player and Surround Pro magazines. David is an award-winning author, photographer, and music journalist, who’s written over 1,000 articles for magazines in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, and has published 6 books. He’s also a press agent in the music industry and has represented numerous recording studios, manufacturers, and trade organizations such as SPARS and the World Studio Group. During the interview, we talked about how Record Plant started and some surprising key players, the unique business model that powered the studio, how new tech drove the studio business, how many believe that it was the real Hotel California, and so much more. Sit back and listen to some great behind-the-scenes stories.

In this episode, Chan and I talked about the “majesty of New Jersey,” what it’s like to play 300 dates a year in New York City clubs, the reasons for creating the H.O.R.D.E. tour, playing dates with W4RHORS3, and so much more.
