"Artists should be in control of their destiny." Renowned mastering engineer Alan Douches discussed his extensive experience at West Westside Music, offering insights into the significance of immersive audio formats like Atmos and their creative potential for artists. He addressed challenges in archiving both analog and digital formats, the transformative potential of blockchain technology, and how Web3 can help indie musicians monetize their work. Additionally, he explored the role of NFTs, AI, and the importance of community in supporting artists' journeys.

My guest today is Alan Douches, a mastering engineer, CEO, and founder of West West Side Music with over 15,000 mastering credits. Alan has worked with a stunning roster of artists, including Sufjan Stevens, Converge, Mastodon, Chelsea Wolfe, Lucy Dacus, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, The Dillinger Escape Plan, LCD Soundsystem, and many more.

He’s been instrumental in defining the sound of independent music, always championing DIY artists, and is now leading the way in bringing ATMOS production and mastering to indie music. Alan is also exploring the cutting edge of blockchain technology with his Web3 startup.

This is Alan’s second appearance on the podcast—he was previously on episode RSR092. Thanks to Jesse Cannon for our original introduction!
