Ever had someone say, “This mix just needs a little more warmth,” and wondered what that actually means? Or maybe you’ve tried to get that rich, analog vibe in your digital mix and ended up with something that just sounded... dull?

In this cozy, mojo-filled episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody break down the art (and science) of getting warmth in your mixes—from the tools they trust to the techniques they use every day.

We’re talking about that sonic something that makes a track feel full, smooth, and alive—without losing clarity. Warmth isn't about cutting all the highs or slathering tape emulation on every channel. It's about intentional tone-shaping, and in this episode, you’ll learn where to find it and how to apply it (without overcooking the mix).

In this episode:

  • Microphones and preamps that naturally add warmth before you ever touch a plugin
  • Favorite plugins and analog emulations for tape saturation, tube-style EQ, and transformer character
  • Techniques to create warmth without sacrificing clarity or space
  • Why “mojo” matters, and how to capture it in both analog and digital workflows
  • Common myths about warmth—busted by Chris and Jody’s real-world experience

Plus, this week’s Friday Finds delivers more audio goodies to fuel your obsession—and yes, there's the usual dose of nonsense we all secretly love.

Whether you're chasing vintage vibes or just want your mixes to sound less cold, this episode will help you heat things up the right way.
