Keith Shively and I meet every-other Friday to discuss how the blog is doing. We go over more statistics than you can imagine – what the traffic patterns look like, what posts appear to be trending, what content people don’t seem to give a rip about, and most importantly, what information we believe Rocket Yard readers are really looking for. You see, Keith is OWC’s SEO/SEM guru and makes my job much more productive and enjoyable!

David Kalmusky is an award-winning, platinum-record producer, songwriter, engineer, and guitarist. The list of artists he’s worked with reads like a who’s who in the music business. Names like Keith Urban, Megan Trainor, Justin Bieber, Journey, The Sisterhood, Vince Gill, John Oates (From Hall & Oates) Motley Crue, and Carrie Underwood (just to name a few). You don’t get to achieve that level of success in the industry without having a knack for picking and working with not only the best people, but the best tools. OWC had an opportunity to speak with him via Zoom from Addiction Sound, a facility he helped design, build, and operates. In our conversation, David shared some insights on his music production workflow.
