  Episode 49: Exploring EQ

  Jul 27, 202625 min

  Send us Fan Mail Rich Bozic and Justin Hochella introduce the concept of EQ using Logic Pro’s EQ as the example. They explain EQ as boosting or cutting frequencies across the 20 Hz–20 kHz hearing range, define high-pass/low-pass filters, bell curves and shelves, Q as bandwidth, and amplitude as boost/cut amount, and describe “sweeping” to find harsh frequencies. They outline broad frequency bands and common tonal issues, and discuss EQ use cases for balancing, creative effects (radio/telephone), and carving space between competing instruments in a mix. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 02:07 Logic Pro Launchpad Course 04:06 Clevetoberfest and Updates 05:29 Why EQ Matters 06:53 EQ Basics Explained 07:52 Filters Bell and Shelf 11:46 Q and Amplitude Controls 14:24 Sweeping Technique 15:21 Frequency Ranges and Tone 18:40 Creative EQ and Space 20:47 Wrap Up and Takeaways ----- Check out Justin's Logic Pro Launch Pad Course!

  Episode 46: Flowing Horizon - Bozic Debut

  Apr 27, 202622 min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Justin Hochella and Rich Bozic discuss Rich's new Single “Flowing Horizon” and discuss its inspiration, meaning, and DIY production. Rich describes the track as an old-school rock homage with modern elements, inspired from an acoustic guitar chord progression and centered on appreciating and accepting love from others. He details producing in his home studio using Logic Pro’s Drummer with deep customization and layering, creating bass with Logic patches, recording vocals with a Townsend Sphere using an LD 2 51 emulation, and using a Yamaha MODX8 for piano and synths. Mixing and mastering were done by Burak Yildirmaz with Rich observing and providing feedback, along with Justin’s input, and Rich shares release challenges like branding, Canva design, and a logo by Michelle Coelho; the song is on all streaming platforms and updates are at www.bozicmusic.com and @bozicmusic on Instagram. 00:00 Welcome and Intro 00:40 New Single Announcement 01:42 Song Meaning and Origins 03:12 Influences and Mindset 04:33 DIY Production Overview 05:22 Drums and Rhythm Building 07:31 Bass and Vocal Recording 09:21 Keys and Sound Palette 10:22 Mixing Mastering Lessons 13:32 More Music Coming Soon 14:52 Modern Release Challenges 17:15 Branding Art and Collaboration 20:48 Where to Listen and Follow 21:35 Closing and Song Outro Listen to Flowing Horizon: https://linktr.ee/bozic For Production Services, Coaching and Lessons, visit: www.rjbmusicproduction.com For help prepping your songs/voice for the studio: www.bozicvoicestudio.com ---- https://www.youtube.com/@FaceYourEarsPodcast/shorts https://www.faceyourears.com https://www.instagram.com/faceyourearspodcast/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Face-Your-Ears-Podcast/

  Episode 45: AI Landscape

  Mar 30, 202633 min

  Send us Fan Mail AI Music on Streaming Platforms: Bandcamp’s Ban, Spotify’s Embrace, and the AIODE Session-Musician Tool Hosts Rich Bozic and Justin Hochella begin by briefly discussing busy studio work and Justin's new Logic Pro Launch Pad course at logicprolaunchpad.com, then sharing recent podcast listener cities worldwide. The episode turns to AI in music, contrasting Bandcamp’s stated policy (posted January 13, 2026) banning music generated wholly or in substantial part by AI and prohibiting AI impersonation, with Spotify’s more welcoming stance toward AI-generated music and concerns about labeling, artist impact, and potential platform incentives. They also discuss AIODE (A-I-O-D-E), a tool that can import a song and generate instrument parts (e.g., bass, guitar, trumpets) based on real musicians’ performances, noting both its practical uses and risks of enabling fully AI-created songs. They conclude that AI cannot replicate human lived experience and artistic expression. 00:00 Welcome and Updates 01:00 Logic Pro Course Launch 03:03 Podcast Listener Stats 04:38 AI Music Topic Setup 05:49 Bandcamp Bans Generative AI 12:41 Spotify Embraces AI Slop 15:39 Should AI Music Be Labeled 17:09 AIODE AI Session Musician 21:51 Is AI a Tool or Replacement 28:09 Human Experience vs AI 30:39 Recap and Sign Off For Production Services, Coaching and Lessons, visit: www.rjbmusicproduction.com For help prepping your songs/voice for the studio: www.bozicvoicestudio.com ---- https://www.youtube.com/@FaceYourEarsPodcast/shorts https://www.faceyourears.com https://www.instagram.com/faceyourearspodcast/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Face-Your-Ears-Podcast/
