Secret Sonics 161 - Jim Homes - Capturing Bold Sounds

Published: Oct. 9, 2022, 9 a.m.

b'Jim Homes is an audio engineer, music producer, mixing engineer, and one half of Boe Weaver, a production duo based out of the Isle of Wight, UK! In our chat, Jim shares his story; getting signed almost on a whim really young, building a studio with his brother, and remixing for major label artists. We chat about doubling down on your strengths, trying to keep the human elements in a production, the advantages of working as a duo and overcoming its challenges. We also talk about not being afraid to reach out to people for work, run ins with Tchad Blake, reverb, going bold and not waiting for the mix, and so much more! Check it out!
