My first book “Audio Dynamics: Compression Techniques for Modern Mixing and Mastering” is now available on Amazon!
'Audio Dynamics' is a love letter to recording, the interdimensional space where engineering intersects directly with art. The text culminates many hours spent in the studio, propelled by the musical artist and their song.
Supposedly a book about compression, ‘Audio Dynamics’ is ultimately a book about making records. In addition to compression settings for over 40 different instruments and mix groups, you'll find overviews of advanced compression techniques (serial, parallel, multiband, multibus), illustrated mix templates, recommended compressors, suggested reading, mix references, and more.
Some of you may remember I "announced" this book project long ago (2015). After seven years of writing, re-writing, editing, and re-editing, it's finally here.
I had divine guidance while compiling this tome. Thank you @alphapup @jeffronamuzik @ryanpinkard @stretchfrank @mikeparvizi @joker_kapsize @natemercereau @kiefdaddysupreme @darkartmastering and every musician who's hired me over the past 25 years.
Thank you @fabianoefner for the amazing book cover photograph and approving its use.
Thank you @retrogearshop for authorizing the use of your beautiful vintage compressor photographs in the history chapter.
The first edition hardcover of ‘Audio Dynamics’ is now available and shipping worldwide from Amazon. Independently published from Los Angeles, California. Link in bio.

Ryan,
Today, we gather in memorial of your life. Like many of us, I haven’t been able to come to terms with your passing. Difficult to process and move forward.
You were the most gifted musical mind in my life. Selfishly, I will miss our conversations about music. You taught me how to count intervals correctly. You taught me that playing chromatic wasn’t necessarily chromatic, depending on the last few notes.
You taught me that horn keys aren’t just a “different” concert pitch and that for Bb instruments, written C sounds like Bb (they read a whole step higher than concert pitch) and for Eb instruments, written C sounds Eb.
You taught me that “range matters more” than transposition math. You taught me that a technically correct transposition can still be unplayable. A trumpet line that sits great in concert Bb may become awkward if transposed for tenor, alto, or bari without considering register. The notes may be “correct” but the line may speak poorly, or sit in a weak part of the horn. You taught me how the best-sounding transposition usually involves octave “bending” to preserve character.
You taught me that a truly great chart provides the changes the soloist needs, not the hyper-analysis that another transposer might admire. The chart is not there to prove how clever you are—ultimately, it should help someone play a good solo.
We shared the journey of fatherhood together. Our eldest daughters are the same age, graduating high school right now. We spoke often of the balance between family and music. You taught me not to be too hard on myself, that we’re all a work in progress.
Ryan, I miss you and love you. Above all, thank you for being a true friend.

Ryan I love you and miss you so much. It was the greatest honor to work with you and have you to turn to as a friend. You never wavered in your support for me. Grateful I had the chance to come by the hospital and hold your hand one last time. Love you forever.

In the city of angels today with my brother @daddykev signing limited edition SOULDOUBT 25YR ANNIVERSARY LPs

Available now via @otharsounds
07 Mar 2026
Celebrating 25 years of underground resonance, the anniversary edition of SOULDOUBT reunites AWOL One and Daddy Kev’s landmark collaboration for the first time on vinyl!
Originally dropped at the turn of the millennium, SOULDOUBT helped define the experimental Los Angeles indie rap movement with its powerful production, fierce cuts from D-STYLES and AWOL One’s unmistakable, raspy off-kilter lyricism.
This 25th anniversary pressing honors the album’s lasting impact with revitalized sound, commemorative artwork, and a renewed spotlight on a project that pushed boundaries, challenged conventions, and carved its own strange, beautiful lane in independent hip hop history.
+ Limited to 200 copies
+ Classic black vinyl
+ Gold foil numbered
+ 850 GSM Japanese-Style gatefold
+ Signed by AWOL ONE & DADDY KEV!!!

In ancient China during the Song Dynasty, scholars would gather in private gardens. They didn’t come for spectacle. They came for refinement. Poets, painters, calligraphers, and musicians would meet under lantern light to test ideas, sharpen skills, and push one other forward. Influence belonged not to the loudest voice in the marketplace, but to those invited inside the courtyard. Los Angeles has plenty of marketplaces. Scenario is the garden.
Next Friday we light the lanterns again. 2/27 full stack @scenario_808 with @oakcityslums @daragenesis @seyaamusic + resident DJ @daddykev (@mapamota.xo back next month) at @thelovesongbar @regenttheaterla Downtown Los Angeles. Open decks at 9pm ⏰
